Nearly 1000 New Zealand owned and operated businesses have signed up to a new online shopping mall to take advantage of changing consumer behaviour during the coronavirus crisis.
Shopkiwi.online launched on Wednesday, with the backing of Business NZ and BuyNZ Made.
Fashion designer Liz Mitchell is one of the business owners who have signed up.
During the lockdown her Auckland shop was closed, and bespoke designs stopped, but she saw an opportunity to expand into e-commerce to reach new customers.
