How to Accept Payments Online in Nigeria: A Practical Guide

Accept online payments in Nigeria with Paystack at checkout. Learn how customers pay, when settlement arrives, and what to check before launch.

How customers pay

Accepting payments online means customers can pay at checkout instead of sending transfers by hand. On Biply, customers choose their items and pay at checkout through Paystack. Your order appears in your dashboard once payment is confirmed.

When you get your money

Settlement goes to your bank account on the next business day (T+1), per Paystack's standard settlement schedule. Confirm the current schedule on Paystack's website before you promise a timeline to customers.

Before you launch

Test one order from start to finish. Confirm your bank details are correct. Show your delivery and returns policy on the store.
