How to Order Custom Products on Design Yangu — A Step-by-Step Guide for Kenyan Buyers
Want custom t-shirts, tote bags, or branded merch from a Kenyan designer? Here is exactly how to order on Design Yangu — from browsing to M-Pesa checkout to delivery anywhere in Kenya. No minimum orders, no bank transfers.
Ordering custom products in Kenya used to be a headache. You'd track down a printer, explain your design five times over WhatsApp, get a sample you didn't like, argue about price, do a bank transfer — and wait three weeks. Design Yangu is different. It's a Kenyan marketplace where you browse designs from real Kenyan creatives, customise your order, pay with M-Pesa, and get your products delivered. No middlemen. No phone tag.
Step 1 — Browse the marketplace. Head to designyangu.com/marketplace to see designs from Kenyan independent designers. Filter by product type (t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, phone cases), design category (Afro-inspired, typography, wildlife, streetwear, Swahili art), or search for exactly what you want. Each listing shows the design applied to a real product, the designer's name, the price, and customisation options.
Step 2 — Pick your product and customise. On the product page, choose your size (XS–3XL for apparel), colour, and quantity — no minimum orders, order 1 or 100. Add custom text where available. Bulk orders of 10+ items automatically unlock a discount, reflected before checkout.
Step 3 — Pay with M-Pesa. When you hit Pay Now, you receive an M-Pesa STK push directly to your phone — the green prompt asking you to enter your PIN. Enter your PIN. Done. You get an M-Pesa confirmation SMS and an order confirmation from Design Yangu within seconds. No international cards. No complicated portals. Just M-Pesa.
Step 4 — Track your order. Once your payment confirms, your order goes to production. You receive SMS updates at every stage: order confirmed, in production, dispatched, out for delivery. For Nairobi, expect 3–5 business days. For other counties across Kenya, 5–7 business days via our courier partners.
Every design on Design Yangu was created by a Kenyan creative. When you buy, you are supporting a real person's art practice. No minimum order means one hoodie for a birthday gift is as welcome as 200 t-shirts for a corporate event. If the print quality does not match what was shown or there is a production error, reach out — replacement or refund, whichever works for you.
