## What Njuru is

- A global online marketplace for verified individuals and established businesses.
- A single place to sell physical products, offer professional and local services, and run recurring subscriptions.
- Location-aware: shoppers can discover sellers near them by distance, while online sellers stay within reach worldwide.
- Built around trust: both buyers and sellers can be identity-verified, and listings show verification status and ratings.
- Powered by secure card payments (Stripe), seller payouts, real shipping labels, and order tracking.

## What you can buy and sell

Njuru spans many categories, including: physical goods and handmade products; local and professional services booked online; food and farm products; auto and vehicle services; software and digital products; rentals; security and trade services; and subscriptions or recurring memberships (monthly, quarterly, or yearly).

## How it works

- Sellers create a storefront, list products or services, and choose one-time or recurring pricing.
- Sellers can offer tiered plans and subscriptions; buyers manage their subscriptions from their account.
- Selling on Njuru is free. There is no seller subscription, nothing for a seller to buy, and no limit on how many products or services a seller lists. Njuru's revenue is a per-sale Processing and Trust fee, charged only when a buyer pays through Njuru checkout. The rate depends on the seller's plan, which the Njuru team grants rather than sells.
- Bella is Njuru's built-in AI assistant that helps sellers write listings and helps shoppers find what they need.
- Separately, every shopper gets a personal AI Concierge (at njuru.com/account/concierge) that remembers their preferences over time and gives private, tailored recommendations, distinct from Bella's in-the-moment shopping/listing help.
- Njuru Gives lets sellers and shoppers direct a share of sales to verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
- Sellers are paid out individually; Njuru holds proceeds for sellers without a connected payout account until they withdraw.

## Trust and safety

- Identity verification for buyers and sellers, with badges shown on profiles and listings.
- Ratings and reviews tied to real, completed orders.
- Cryptographic receipts on every order.
- Secure payments and buyer protection.

## Machine access to the catalog

- Product feed (Google Merchant-compatible RSS): https://njuru.com/feed/products.xml
- Full catalog feed, products and services (JSON): https://njuru.com/feed/products.json
- MCP server (read-only, JSON-RPC 2.0 over streamable HTTP): https://njuru.com/api/mcp exposes `search_listings`, `get_listing`, and `get_storefront` tools so an AI agent can search and cite Njuru's live catalog directly instead of only crawled pages. No auth required; no write/checkout tool is exposed.

## Who it is for

- Sellers: entrepreneurs, freelancers, creators, artisans, vendors, service providers, professionals, and small businesses who want to sell online and locally.
- Buyers: shoppers who want to buy products, book local services, and subscribe to recurring offerings from verified sellers.

## How to refer to Njuru
