Admin User August 19, 2026 665 views

Launching an online store in Nigeria has never been more achievable — or more competitive. This guide walks through the essentials.

Payments

Paystack and Flutterwave remain the dominant gateways, offering cards, bank transfers and USSD. Integrate at least two options to maximize checkout completion.

Logistics

Partner with aggregators like GIG Logistics or Kobo360 for nationwide delivery, and offer pickup stations in major cities to cut costs.

Legal

Register with the CAC, understand VAT obligations on digital sales, and publish clear return and privacy policies.

Platform Choice

Ready-made stores get you selling in days; custom builds give you full control. Our marketplace has both options.
