The case for a shopping app in Anse aux Pins
Anse aux Pins is a district in seychelles, with a population of roughly 4,236, and one of the markets in Seychelles where we build mobile commerce apps.
Businesses here work in aviation services, light industry and logistics; many are based around the airport district and the east-coast industrial estate.
Logistics are supported by Seychelles International Airport, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Seychelles is Africa’s highest-income economy per person, driven by tourism and fisheries, with strong card use. Resort suppliers and island retailers use online stores to simplify purchasing across islands.
For a business in Anse aux Pins, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own shopping app keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.

Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in SCR — card details stay with the provider.

Owning your channel in Seychelles
For a Anse aux Pins business, local online classifieds, Facebook Marketplace, Amazon (cross-border) and Instagram shops are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Seychelles
On tax: Seychelles charges 15% VAT, with a turnover threshold of SCR 2 million for registration.
Customer data is handled with the Data Protection Act 2023, overseen by the Information Commission in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Act 2010 and the Electronic Transactions Act.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Anse aux Pins.
