The Problem
Multiple friends had shared painful stories of getting scammed by Instagram vendors and online sellers. They would pay for products upfront, only to have the seller disappear without delivering anything.
On the seller's side, small businesses faced their own challenges. Many couldn't offer pay-on-delivery due to trust issues, logistics costs, and cash flow constraints. This limited their growth potential and prevented them from reaching customers who preferred secure payment options.
The lack of a secure middle ground meant both buyers and sellers were stuck in a cycle of mistrust, limiting the growth of online commerce especially on social platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp.
The Solution
Built Shopnsure as a comprehensive escrow platform that holds payments securely until delivery is confirmed. This protects buyers from fraud while giving sellers confidence to operate smoothly.
The platform features automated payment release, multi-business support, role-based collaboration, and a mobile-first design optimized for Instagram/WhatsApp sellers. With ₦12+ million in secure transactions, it has proven to solve the trust problem in online commerce.
