Learn how to sell online in Nigeria: choose what to sell, pick a free store theme, add products in Naira, take payments, and share your store link.
What selling online in Nigeria means
Selling online in Nigeria means setting up a store where customers can see your products, pay, and place an order without needing to message you first. You can start with a phone, a clear set of products, and a store link you share on WhatsApp and Instagram.
Step 1: Choose what you will sell
Pick products you can source and deliver reliably. A small, focused range sells better than a long list you cannot keep in stock. Fashion, skincare, electronics, food, and home goods are popular starting points.
Step 2: Pick a store theme
A theme sets how your store looks. On Biply every theme is free. Choose one that matches your category, preview it on a live demo store, and launch from there. You can switch themes later without losing your products or orders.
Step 3: Add products with clear photos and Naira prices
Photograph each item on a plain background, write a short description, and set the price in Naira. List sizes, colours, and variants so customers do not need to ask. Your plan sets how many products you can list.
Step 4: Set up payments
Customers pay at checkout through Paystack. Settlement goes to your bank account on the next business day (T+1), per Paystack's standard schedule.
Step 5: Share your store link
Each store has its own address, for example yourstore.biply.ng. Put it in your WhatsApp status, Instagram bio, and on every receipt.
