How to Order Custom Merch with M-Pesa on Design Yangu A First-Timer's Guide (2026)
Step-by-step guide to ordering custom t-shirts, tote bags, and branded merch on Design Yangu using M-Pesa. Delivery to your door anywhere in Kenya.
Karibu! If you've just landed on Design Yangu for the first time maybe you saw a post, got a recommendation from someone in your WhatsApp group, or just searched for where to get custom merch done in Kenya this guide is for you.
We know the feeling: you've been to five printing shops, gotten five wildly different quotes, received three samples that look nothing like what was described, and paid a deposit that never became a finished product. We've been there too. That's exactly why Design Yangu exists.
This is a complete walkthrough of your first order: what you need, what to expect, how M-Pesa checkout works, and what happens next. Five minutes of reading, and you'll order with complete confidence.
Design Yangu is Kenya's first M-Pesa-native print-on-demand platform. We connect buyers like you businesses, event organisers, schools, content creators, NGOs with Kenyan graphic designers who create original, high-quality designs for every product we print.
"Print-on-demand" means: your items are printed when you order them. No warehouse. No dead stock. Just your design, printed fresh, delivered to your door.
Every design on the platform was created by a Kenyan designer. When you buy, they earn. It's a closed loop that keeps creative money circulating inside Kenya.
An M-Pesa-registered phone number that's it. No credit card. No bank account. No PayPal. 2. A Design Yangu account free to create. Sign up with Google or your email address. 3. Your delivery details your name, phone number, and delivery address anywhere in Kenya. 4. Your design idea (if you're customising) or just browse finished designs in the marketplace if you want to buy something ready-to-print.
