Why Sri Lankan sellers switch
Big platforms are built for America. Your customers are in Kurunegala.
Most shoppers here still pay cash at the door, ask questions on WhatsApp and expect an SMS when the parcel leaves. Overseas platforms charge in dollars, add a fee to every sale made through a local gateway, and need a paid app for each of those basics. Krihop does them out of the box, for a price that makes sense in rupees.

1 tap
to confirm a COD order on WhatsApp, with the message already written.
Everything in one place
The things you'd pay five apps for, already switched on.
Sell clothes, spices, electronics, cakes, furniture or courses. Krihop works for any product, with variants, stock tracking and bulk pricing.
Cash on Delivery, done properly
Every COD order waits for a quick confirmation. One tap opens WhatsApp with the order already written, so fake orders and wrong addresses never reach the courier.
Local card gateways
PayHere, plus your own bank's IPG on Mastercard Gateway or Cybersource. Money lands in your account, not in dollars somewhere else.
SMS and WhatsApp updates
Notify.lk, Text.lk or any SMS gateway, and WhatsApp Cloud API templates. Customers hear from you at every step.
Couriers and waybills
Record waybills, print A5 packing slips with the cash to collect, and send tracking links automatically.
A store that looks like yours
Drag sections, change colours and fonts, preview on a phone, then publish. No code, no theme store.
Wholesale built in
Hotels, salons and offices request quotes from your site. Bulk price breaks apply in the cart on their own.
Sales by district
See where orders come from, which products sell, and how much COD cash is still with couriers.
Discounts and abandoned carts
Codes, automatic discounts and reminder emails for people who left without paying.
Bring your team

Questions
Straight answers.
Is Krihop really a Shopify alternative?
Yes. You get an online store, checkout, products with variants and stock, discounts, customers, analytics, a theme editor and staff accounts, the same core you'd use on Shopify. The difference is that Krihop is priced in rupees, charges no transaction fee, and ships the Sri Lankan basics (COD confirmation, local gateways, SMS, WhatsApp, waybills) without paid apps.
Which payment methods can I accept?
Cash on Delivery, bank transfer with your account details shown at checkout, PayHere (cards, eZ Cash, mCash, Genie and online banking), your bank's own card gateway on Mastercard Gateway or Cybersource, and Stripe if you sell overseas. Turn on as many as you like.
Do I need my own server or hosting?
No. Krihop hosts every store for you, including SSL certificates, backups and updates. You never touch a server.
Can I use my own .lk domain?
Yes, on Growth and Business. Add one DNS record where you bought the domain and Krihop issues the SSL certificate automatically. Until then, your store works on its free krihop address.
How do SMS and WhatsApp messages work?
Connect a Sri Lankan SMS gateway like Notify.lk or Text.lk with your own account, and customers get a text when they order, when you confirm and when it ships. For WhatsApp, connect the WhatsApp Cloud API with your business number and approved templates. You pay those providers directly at their rates.
What does Krihop charge on each sale?
Nothing. Your plan is a flat monthly price. Your payment gateway (PayHere, your bank or Stripe) charges its own fee, the same as it would anywhere.
Can I move from Shopify, WooCommerce or Facebook selling?
From Shopify, connect your store and import products, images, collections and customers in one go. From anywhere else, upload a product CSV or add products by hand. On the Business plan we do the move for you.
What if I want to leave?
Export your products, orders and customers to CSV any time. Your domain is yours, so you can point it somewhere else whenever you want.
