How to sell on Instagram and TikTok in Nigeria
Updated 21 October 2026 · By the Carryofy team, Lagos
The short answer
To sell on Instagram and TikTok in Nigeria, post short videos that show the product being used, put one store link in your bio, and let buyers pay on a trusted checkout instead of your personal account. A free Carryofy store gives you that link, plus payment held until delivery and delivery across Lagos.
Content that sells
- Show the product in use: unboxing, before and after, a quick demo.
- Say the price in the video or caption. Hidden prices lose buyers.
- Answer one common question per video ("Does it fit iPhone 15?").
- Post consistently. Small accounts grow with daily, simple posts.
Use one link in your bio
Put your Carryofy store link in your Instagram and TikTok bio. Every product, price and checkout is there, so you don't need to answer "how much?" in your DMs all day.
Make buyers trust a new vendor
"What I ordered vs what I got" stories make buyers careful. Show the Carryofy buyer protection: payment held until delivery, 48 hours to report a problem, and tracking for every order.
