Sourcing safety and Buyer Protection

Keep payment, evidence and communication on Upfrica for a safer sourcing transaction.

Upfrica Help CentreUpdated Jul 23, 2026

Upfrica can assess a sourcing issue more reliably when the request, offer, payment, messages and delivery evidence stay on the platform.

Protect the transaction

  • Pay only through Upfrica checkout.
  • Keep the accepted product specification and material promises in the order record.
  • Do not share one-time passwords, card details or account passwords.
  • Report requests to move payment or the transaction outside Upfrica.

When something goes wrong

  • Document missing, damaged, wrong or materially different items promptly.
  • Keep packaging, labels and delivery evidence until the issue is resolved.
  • Start help from the relevant order so the correct parties and payment are attached.
Important

Off-platform payments may not qualify for Upfrica refund help, sourcing support or Buyer Protection.
