Mophones

Mophones (MoPhones) is a Nairobi, Kenya based fintech and recommerce company building accessible device-financing and re-commerce infrastructure for Africa, starting with premium refurbished smartphones from brands like Apple and Samsung sold with flexible weekly-installment and pay-on-delivery plans. The consumer storefront runs on Shopify at mophones.co and does not expose a first-party developer API; its only programmatic surface is the Shopify-provided agentic-commerce layer — a published Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) profile at /.well-known/ucp and a live UCP-over-MCP shopping endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp that lets buyer-approved AI shopping agents search the catalog, build carts, and complete Shop Pay checkouts. Mophones is backed by Speedinvest and was noted as the first African startup to secure NICE financing from STV.

Mophones publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Commerce, Agentic Commerce, and Universal Commerce Protocol.
