Selling on WhatsApp is how most Nigerian retailers close deals — but collecting payment is still risky. Buyers fear paying ahead. Sellers fear chargebacks and “I never got the goods” disputes.
Escrow solves that: the buyer pays into a protected hold, and funds only release when delivery is confirmed.
Why WhatsApp sellers need escrow
- Cash-on-delivery is slow and riders get stuck in the middle.
- Bank transfers before delivery put buyers at risk of ghost sellers.
- Screenshot “proof of payment” is easy to fake.
A shareable payment link from WhatsApp turns a chat order into a tracked escrow transaction — without building your own checkout site.
How Prefrpay works for sellers
- Create (or accept) an order with the item and price.
- Share the Prefrpay pay link with your buyer on WhatsApp.
- When they pay, funds sit in escrow with our licensed payment partner.
- You arrange delivery (your rider or courier).
- On confirmed delivery, escrow releases to your verified bank account.
You stay on WhatsApp for commerce. Buyers stay accountless — they only need the pay link.
Who this is for
Fashion, gadgets, beauty, food, and marketplace sellers who close deals in chat and want buyers to feel safe enough to pay online.
