Farmer Quickstart

This guide walks you through everything you need to start selling on Pamusika. By the end, you will have an account, a profile, and your first listing live on the marketplace.

Get set up and sell

1. Download the app

   Download Pamusika from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). Open the app and you will see the Pamusika welcome screen.

2. Create your account

   Tap “Login or sign up with OTP” on the welcome screen. Enter your phone number (for example, +263771234567) and tap Send OTP.

   You will receive a verification code. This may come via SMS or WhatsApp, depending on your network. Enter the 6-digit code, your name, and an optional password, then tap Verify & Continue.

   Tip

   Setting a password lets you log in faster next time without waiting for a new OTP.

   If you already have an account, use the Login option with your phone number and password instead.

3. Set up your profile

   Once logged in, go to the Profile tab (the person icon at the bottom of the screen). From here you can:

   • Tap Edit Profile to add your name, photo, and bio. A good bio tells buyers what you grow and where you farm — for example, “Tomato and onion farmer in Goromonzi, Mashonaland East.”
   • Add a province to help nearby buyers find you.
   • Save up to 3 locations that you can reuse when creating listings (for example, “Mbare Musika” or “Chinhoyi Market”).

4. Create your first listing

   Tap the + or List button to create a new listing. Fill in the details:

   • Category — Choose from Produce, Livestock, Equipment, or other available categories.
   • Title — A clear name for what you are selling (for example, “Fresh tomatoes - 20kg crate”).
   • Price — Set your asking price.
   • Quantity — How much you have available.
   • Description — Add useful details like quality, size, or harvest date.
   • Photos — Take or upload photos of your product. Good photos help buyers trust your listing.
   • Location — Select one of your saved locations or enter a new one.

   Review your listing and tap Publish. Your listing is now live on the marketplace.

   Tip

   If you are offline, your listing will be saved and published automatically once you reconnect to the internet.

5. Get verified

   Verified sellers earn a green checkmark badge that builds trust with buyers. To start verification, go to Profile > Verification and complete the steps:

   • Photo Verification — Take a selfie so the team can confirm you are a real person.
   • ID Verification — Upload a photo of your national ID for identity confirmation.

   Verification is reviewed by the Pamusika team and typically takes 2-3 business days.

   Note

   Verified sellers get higher visibility in search results and attract more serious buyers.

What to do next

• Respond to messages — When buyers contact you, you will see notifications in the Messages tab. Reply quickly to build a good reputation.
• Create a Circle — Set up a Buyer Circle to reward your regular customers with early access to listings, discounts, or free delivery. Go to Profile > Circles to get started.
• Ask Mupfuyi for help — If you need advice on pricing, listing descriptions, or farming tips, open the Mupfuyi AI assistant from the app menu.
