Townsquar is where Ghana's best shops come to sell properly. Clothing, shoes, bags, beauty and accessories from vetted partner stores, paid for with Mobile Money, delivered to your door. CHECKED BEFORE IT REACHES YOU Every standard order stops at a Townsquar hub on its way to you. A person checks the actual item against what you actually bought: the size, the colour, the condition, all of it. Anything that fails never goes out for delivery. You are not gambling on a stranger's word. ONE BAG ACROSS EVERY STORE Fill your bag from as many partner stores as you like. Check out once, pay one delivery fee, and follow the whole thing as a single order. PAY THE WAY YOU ALREADY PAY Mobile Money, or debit and credit card, handled securely at checkout. Prices in cedis. No conversion, and nothing extra owed at the door. BRANDS YOU KNOW Nike, Adidas, Levi's and Under Armour, alongside the local labels and boutiques worth knowing about. SAME DAY WHEN YOU NEED IT Choose Express and, if the store is close enough to you, it comes straight over the same day. Everything else moves out from Accra and Kumasi to every regional capital. FIND IT FAST Search the whole catalogue, or browse by category, brand, collection or partner store. Filter to your size so you stop falling for things you cannot buy. KEEP WHAT YOU LIKE Favorites for the pieces. Following for the brands and stores worth watching. Recently Viewed for the one you walked away from and thought about all week. Picks for You sharpens the more you browse. AFTER YOU ORDER Track it from the hub to your door. Start a return or raise an issue from the order itself. Leave a review once it lands, and only if you actually bought it. GIFT CARDS Send one by email. Good on anything in the marketplace.
