How to sell on WhatsApp in Nigeria (and get paid safely)

Your contacts already know you. A product on your status is a recommendation from a friend, and people buy from people they trust. The hard parts are payment and delivery, not finding buyers.

• One product per status, with a clear photo and the price.
• A short line on who it's for: "For students who forget to charge their phones".
• Your store link, so people can see everything and order themselves.
• Proof: delivered orders and happy customers (with their permission).
• Post at the same times every day: morning, lunch and evening work well.

Many buyers are afraid to transfer to a personal account because of scams. A payment page that holds the money until delivery removes that fear.

On Carryofy, every order is paid through Paystack by card, transfer or USSD. The money is held until the order is delivered, and the buyer has 48 hours to report a problem. That promise is shown on your store, so you can tell buyers: "If it doesn't come, you don't lose your money."

You don't need a rider. When a customer orders from your Carryofy store, the supplier packs it and Carryofy's delivery partners deliver across Lagos. You and your customer can track it.
