Selling online in Timor-Leste today usually means posting a photo on Facebook, answering messages one by one, and hoping the buyer turns up. It works — until you lose track of orders, run out of stock, or a "buyer" disappears. Shops of Timor is being built to make selling online as simple as running a stall, but with a real record of every order.

What you need to start

• An S.O.T. account and a phone — the merchant console runs on the device you already own.
• A few clear photos of each product, an honest price, and how many you have.
• A way to be paid: cash on delivery or SOT Coin. No card machine required.

Why sell here instead of only on social media

• Every order is recorded — you always know what was sold, to whom, and whether it was delivered.
• Delivery is booked for you through SOT ride-dispatch drivers, so you don't chase a motortaxi yourself.
• Buyers can see your ratings, so a good seller builds a reputation that brings repeat business.
