For sellers

Everything your business needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Built specifically for South African small businesses.

Payments

Secure escrow — funds only release when you both agree

Your customer pays upfront. TradeSafe holds the money securely until you both confirm the deal is done. No fake payment screenshots. No chasing invoices. No chargebacks.

Customer paysFunds heldYou get paid
Listings

Products and services — both in one profile

Sell physical products with fixed pricing, or offer services and send custom quotes. Customers browse your profile and connect directly.

Communication

Built-in chat and quoting — no extra tools

Every service enquiry starts a conversation. Send itemised quotes in chat. No WhatsApp, no email threads, no separate quoting tool needed.

Reach

Get access to new customers — not just your existing ones

Your profile is discoverable to everyone browsing Survex. Show up in front of local customers actively looking for what you sell, beyond who already knows your business.

Analytics

Business performance analytics — know your numbers

Track views, revenue, top-performing listings, and customer activity from your dashboard. Make smarter decisions with real data.

Bookings

Customers book you — you control the calendar

Take bookings straight from your profile and set the hours you actually work. Block out the times you're not available and let the diary handle the rest — no double-bookings, no 11pm “are you free Saturday?” messages.

Local

Get found by customers in your area

Customers search by location and see businesses near them first. You show up where you actually trade — your suburb, your city — not buried under someone three provinces away.

One place

Quote, book, pay — all in one place

Enquiry to quote to booking to payment, in a single thread. No back-and-forth across three apps, no chasing a deposit, no wondering if the EFT actually landed.

For customers

Buy local. Buy protected.

Survex protects buyers and sellers equally.

Buy from verified local businesses

Every seller on Survex is onboarded and verified. Browse real businesses offering real products and services near you.

Your money is protected — always

Your payment is held securely and only released to the seller once you confirm you're happy. If something goes wrong, your funds are not gone.

Chat and get a quote before you commit

For services, message the business directly, get a quote, and agree on scope before any money changes hands.

Book in a few taps — at a time that suits you

See when a business is actually available and book the slot you want. No phone tag, no waiting on a reply just to find out if they're free.
