How product sourcing works on Upfrica

Product sourcing lets you describe an item you cannot find, then receive structured offers from eligible Upfrica sourcing agents or sellers.

The sourcing journey

• Post a request with the item, condition, destination, budget and useful references.
• Eligible agents or sellers review the request and submit itemised offers.
• Compare the product match, evidence, total price and estimated delivery time.
• Accept one offer and pay through Upfrica before sourcing begins.
• Track the funded order through sourcing, delivery and completion.

What an offer includes

• The estimated item cost.
• The sourcing service fee and delivery fee.
• The proposed brand, model, variant, evidence and ETA.

Before you continue

• You have an Upfrica account.
• You know where the item should be delivered.
• You can describe the minimum acceptable item.
