BetaStore

BetaStore (legal entity SimpleMarket Inc., trading as BetaStore.co) is a B2B retail marketplace founded in 2020 by Steve Dakayi-Kamga and Leo-Armel Tchoudjang that serves informal neighborhood retailers in West and Central Africa, operating across Nigeria, Senegal and Ivory Coast from offices in Lagos and a Wilmington, Delaware registration. The platform lets small shopkeepers restock fast-moving consumer goods directly from manufacturers and distributors at wholesale prices, ordering through SMS, chat, WhatsApp and a mobile app, with logistics partners delivering to the store within 24 hours, and it layers embedded working-capital financing on top of observed retailer sales. BetaStore raised a 2.5 million dollar pre-Series A in May 2022 led by 500 Global with VestedWorld and Loyal VC. As of the July 2026 enrichment pass BetaStore publishes no public API, developer portal, documentation, SDK or machine-readable artifact of any kind, and its betastore.co domain serves no content -- both the apex and www hosts answer every path with a blanket Cloudflare 301 to unrelated third-party domains, and no api/app/docs subdomain resolves.

BetaStore is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, B2B Marketplace, Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Supply Chain.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/betastore-beta-store: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
