Disclosure: SendSawa is our product.
Bumpa is worth it if you use what you are paying for. To find out, you only need one number: what your selling platform costs you for each order.
Divide what you paid last month by the orders you got. If that number is more than a small slice of your profit, you are overpaying, and a simpler store will do the same job for less.
How to work out your cost per order
Bumpa's cheapest paid plan is ₦15,000 a quarter, which is ₦5,000 a month. Higher plans cost more, so if you are on one, use your own figure.
On the cheapest plan:
| Orders in a month | What each order costs you |
|---|---|
| 40 | ₦125 |
| 20 | ₦250 |
| 10 | ₦500 |
| 6 | ₦833 |
If you make ₦4,000 profit on each item, six orders a month means a fifth of every profit goes to the platform.
It is easy to see ₦15,000 once a quarter and treat it like rent. It is more useful to see it as a cost you pay on every single order.
What your Bumpa plan pays for
Bumpa is built for businesses with moving parts:
- POS for selling at a counter
- Staff accounts with their own logins
- Stock across more than one location
- SMS and email campaigns to past customers
If you use those, Bumpa is worth the money and you should stay.
If all you open is the online store, the order list and payments, you are paying for a counter you do not have.
A cheaper store for sellers who only need the online part
SendSawa covers the online part of selling and leaves out the rest. It is ₦5,000 a month on Growth, or ₦4,000 a month paid yearly, and you can pay one month at a time. The free plan holds 10 products with no time limit.
For that you get:
- Unlimited products and a second store
- Your own look, with themes and your brand colours
- Offers on your store, like countdown banners, flash offers, discounts for buying more, and a prize wheel that lands on the discount you set
- Follow-ups, a list of buyers who left a full cart, with a WhatsApp message ready to send
- 0% taken from your sales, with Korapay's card fee paid by the buyer at checkout
If you list 10 products or fewer, the free plan brings your cost per order to ₦0.

- Put the new link in your bio for a week, alongside your Bumpa store.
- Compare the orders, then decide before Bumpa renews.
If you miss POS or staff accounts, stay on Bumpa. You will have lost nothing.
Questions sellers ask about Bumpa's price
How much does Bumpa cost?
Bumpa's paid plans start at ₦15,000 a quarter, and it does not offer monthly billing. Prices from Bumpa's site, checked September 2026.
Can I pay for Bumpa monthly?
No. Bumpa removed its monthly option in 2023, so plans are paid every three months or longer. SendSawa can be paid monthly.
What is a good cost per order for a selling platform?
There is no fixed rule, but if your platform takes more than a small share of the profit on each item, it is worth checking what you actually use. At ₦5,000 a month, 40 orders works out to ₦125 an order, while 6 orders is ₦833.
Do the sum before you renew
