Take App vs Bumpa
Bumpa gives a Nigerian seller a store, invoices, expenses and a customer list in one app. Take App covers the ordering itself: the catalog, the order form in WhatsApp, the payment, and the follow-up.

PaypalShort answer
Bumpa and Take App sell to the same person — the seller running a shop out of an Instagram page — so the split is where the order happens and what it costs to find out. Take App is free to start and puts the order form and the payment inside WhatsApp; Bumpa's cheapest plan is ₦5,000 a month billed a quarter at a time, with a 14-day trial and WhatsApp on the higher tiers. Bumpa is the better pick if you want expenses, debtors and profit tracked in the same app as the store.
Why businesses pick Take App
Free to start, with no quarterly commitment. Bumpa's entry plan is ₦5,000 a month billed three months at a time.
WhatsApp ordering is the product, not a higher tier: the order form, the payment and the delivery update all happen in the thread.
No fee on your payments and no commission on orders, on any plan.

Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Bumpa draws the line
Bumpa is Nigerian software for Nigerian sellers, and it knows the market — Naira, local gateways, the Instagram-first way the business actually runs. Take App works the same way in Nigeria and in 180+ countries besides, with 100+ payment methods, so a seller shipping to Accra or London is not suddenly out of scope.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
