Takealot, one of the biggest e-commerce platforms on the continent, is bringing young South Africans the opportunity to make their own money using the Takealot platform! They’re looking for young, vibrant go-getters to join their Personal Shopper Program.  

A Takealot Personal Shopper helps:

• Customers (family, friends, and people in their community) buy products on the Takealot platform.
• Customers pay you, you order for them on Takealot, and Takealot pays you commission.
• Personal shoppers make online shopping simple and accessible for people in their community who don’t have bank cards or feel unsure about buying online themselves. 

This is not a job. No office hours. No salary. No guaranteed income.  

This is a commission-based opportunity only. Being a Takealot personal shopper is more like running your own small business. Your side hustle. You buy for customers. Takealot pays you commission. You can also earn bonuses for meeting monthly targets, recruiting other personal shoppers, and advertising. Takealot specials on your social media profiles.
