Most Nigerian social commerce happens on WhatsApp. So do most payment scams: “pay into this account first” with no delivery guarantee.
Escrow changes that. You pay into a protected hold. The seller only gets paid after delivery is confirmed.
Safer buying checklist
- Prefer sellers who send a Prefrpay pay link, not a raw bank transfer.
- Check the order details on the pay page before you pay.
- Prefer shops listed on Find 2 Buy — verified, WhatsApp-linked sellers by state.
What happens after you pay
Funds stay in escrow. The seller arranges delivery. You confirm at the door (or via the courier flow). Only then does the seller receive the money.
If something goes wrong, eligible orders can enter Prefrpay’s dispute path — better than arguing in a chat after a blind transfer.
