CarryMart is the campus marketplace, an app where students buy and sell with each other on their own campus. Browse listings in electronics, fashion, books, food, beauty, services, furniture, tickets, and rentals; discover items through reels and stories; and chat with sellers in real time.
CarryMart runs campus by campus across Ghana. Pick your campus when you set up your account, and everything you see (listings, reels, sellers) is from students near you. You can switch campuses anytime from the home screen to browse other markets.
The app is free, browsing is free, and posting a standard listing is free. The only optional costs are listing boosts (if you want extra reach as a seller) and the items you choose to buy.
You sign up with your phone number and choose your campus. Seller profiles are public, with QR codes and a visible selling history, so the community can see who they're dealing with.
Find an item through the feed, search, or reels, then chat with the seller to agree on the details. You arrange the handover with them right in the chat, and you settle up when you meet.
Check the item over before you settle up, and do not pay for something that is not what was described. If a deal goes wrong, report the listing or the user from the app and contact support. Keep the conversation in the chat, because that is your record of what was agreed.
You pay the seller directly when you meet for the handover. Agree how you are settling in the chat beforehand so there are no surprises. CarryMart does not take the payment or hold it for either side.
Tap the + button, choose 'Sell an item', add photos, a price, a category, and where on campus you're based. Your listing goes live on your campus feed instantly, and it's free.
You and the buyer agree the price in the chat and settle it between yourselves when you meet to hand the item over. CarryMart takes no commission, so what you agree is what you keep.
Boosts push your listing to the top of your campus feed for extra visibility. Choose a 7-day or 30-day boost when you post, or add one later. Standard listings stay free forever.
Yes. Every seller has a public profile with a QR code. Print it, share it on WhatsApp or Instagram, and anyone who scans it lands straight on your listings.
Electronics, fashion, books and stationery, food, beauty, services, furniture, tickets, and rentals, anything legal that fits campus life. Listings that break our guidelines (counterfeits, prohibited items) are removed.
Check their public profile: listings, activity, and history are visible to everyone. Beyond that, keep the conversation in the app, meet somewhere public on campus, and look the item over before you settle up.
Every listing and profile has a report option. For anything urgent, contact support directly from the app or email us at support@carrymartgh.com. Include the chat from the deal if you have it.
Somewhere public on campus: the library, a hall entrance, the night market. Agree on the spot in chat so there's a record, and look the item over before you settle up.
