About E-Ummah

E-Ummah is a division of ECOMS to serve Muslims. ECOMS is an acronym for: Electronic Community Services. As a community-based portal, we aim to uplift people and communities by providing them with value-add services that can be a benefit to them and at the same time, making local home-based businesses accessible to customers.

Our aims and objectives are to uplift people and communities. This includes people and businesses. We give opportunities to people to start their own eCommerce businesses and sell their products from their homes or stores on a safe and secure platform at no upfront cost to you.

How Safe is it to buy from Vendors?

One of our main priorities is our customer and our sellers safety. The reason we provide this Vendor Store option to our clients is that we are aware of how many times buyers and sellers get scammed on other platforms.

Vendors have to undergo strict verification of their personal details, their store details and the products they will be selling.

When it comes to payments, ECOMS only use the very best payment gateways with high-end security protocols. Our websites also uses SSL protocols to ensure your informaiton is safe and secure. An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website’s identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser.

How much will it cost me?

We only charge a small success fee of 5% and 50% after expenses are donated annually to various aid organisations and communities in need. There is also an external payment gateway fee charged by Yoco to effect payments which may range from 2%-3%.

The fees can be claimed back against your taxes. By selling your goods on E-Ummah Foods you are also contributing to uplift the poor and the needy.
