About Dimi
A consumer and merchant platform for the diaspora
About Dimi
Dimi is a consumer and merchant platform built for the diaspora. On one side, shoppers find the food, groceries, shops and services of home — wherever they have settled. On the other, the businesses that serve those communities get the tools to run and grow: ordering, payments, delivery, and a storefront customers can actually find.
Marketplace discovery, POS and inventory, wallets and payments, courier delivery, chat and community — in one place, and free to use. We only earn when you do.
