Importers and Big Suppliers: Grow Faster in Rwanda with an Online Wholesale Shop

Importers and big suppliers can use Isokorigari.com to move stock faster, reach shops and institutions across Rwanda, and win large B2B orders through Request for Quote.

If you import containers of goods or supply large volumes, every day that stock sits in a warehouse costs money. You need many buyers, fast. Isokorigari, the multivendor online marketplace in Rwanda for B2B and B2C, connects you with shop owners, wholesalers, contractors, hotels, schools, offices, NGOs, government buyers and families, all in one place.

The opportunity for importers in Rwanda

• A national showroom. Your products are visible to buyers in Kigali and in all provinces, without opening new branches.
• Sell to resellers and end users. Sell cartons and pallets to shops, and smaller quantities to families if you want.
• Big orders through RFQ. Institutions and contractors use the "Request for Quote" button for large purchases.
• Trust signals. Badges such as Official, Verified, Wholesaler, Warranty, Top Seller and membership tiers (Individual Seller, Company / Shop, Supplier / Wholesaler, Manufacturer / Industry) help buyers choose you.
• Promotion options. As an advertiser you can pay to promote your shop, products and banners (/guest-advertiser/account).

Departments where importers sell most

Importers bring almost everything into Rwanda. These Isokorigari departments are a natural fit:

• Consumer Electronics, Home Appliances, Electronic Components and Lights & Lighting.
• Construction & Real Estate (Tiles, Cement & Concrete, Roofing, Paint, Solar & Power, Doors & Windows, Plumbing, Prefab Houses) and Construction & Building Machinery.
• Industrial Machinery, Commercial Equipment & Machinery, Power Transmission, Material Handling and Testing Instrument & Equipment.
• Vehicle Parts & Accessories, Automotive Supplies & Tools and Vehicles & Transportation.

• Furniture, Home & Garden, Apparel & Accessories, Shoes & Accessories, Beauty, Health & Medical (devices and supplies only), Raw Materials and Packaging & Printing.

Note: alcohol, medicines, food supplements and condoms are not sold on Isokorigari.

What big buyers look for

• Exact specifications: brand, model, size, power, capacity, material and country of origin if you show it.
• Clear product options: colour, size, storage, volume, weight, pack size, tile size and more.
• Wholesale prices in Rwf and a clear minimum order quantity.
• Warranty and return information, especially for electronics and machinery.
• Stock availability and reliable delivery.

How to list your products the right way

Isokorigari has one master catalogue. Many imported brands are already in it. So before you create anything:

1. Search the catalogue and the website for the product (same name, brand, model, size and product identifier).
2. If it exists, do not create a new product. Open it and add it to your store with your own price, stock, minimum order quantity, condition, SKU, shipping profile, warranty and return info. Your offer appears in your shop and under "more sellers".
3. If it does not exist, create or request the new product. The admin team reviews it.
4. New brand you import? Send a Brand Request. No fitting category? Send a Category Request. Both are approved by the admin team.
5. Write names in English with Kinyarwanda in brackets, like the rest of the catalogue, and fill in the specifications.

Listing correctly means your offer joins the right product page instead of hiding in a duplicate nobody finds.

Wholesale prices and minimum orders

Set the minimum order that fits your business (one carton, one box, ten units) and add wholesale price levels for larger quantities. Business buyers compare price per piece, so make your best levels visible. Big orders from Rwf 200,000 can also use the BULK5 coupon (5% off; conditions apply and may change). Buyers pay with MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, card, or cash on delivery where available.

Use RFQ to win contracts

When a hotel needs 100 TVs, a school needs 50 computers, or a contractor needs tiles for 30 houses, they use "Request for Quote". Answer with:

• the exact model or specification you offer;
• price per unit and total in Rwf;
• available quantity and minimum order;
• delivery location, cost and expected time;
• warranty and after-sale terms.

How to start

1. Register at /seller and fill in your business details.
2. Wait for admin approval.
3. Set up your shop: name, logo, banner, description, policies, shipping profile and payout details.
4. Add products, catalogue first.
5. Manage orders in your seller dashboard: confirm, pack, ship and mark delivered.
6. Earnings go to your seller wallet, minus the marketplace commission in the Seller Policy; then request your payout.

Delivery goes across Kigali and to all provinces; time and cost depend on the seller and the location (see Shipping & Delivery).
