Seller questions
Direct answers for sellers who want to start selling online without building their own ecommerce website.

In the UK and diaspora, Upfrica focuses strongly on African-related products such as groceries, beauty, fashion, food, hair care, gifts and cultural essentials. In African markets such as Ghana and Nigeria, sellers can list broader general goods depending on product rules and approvals.
Start local first. Approved sellers and approved products can prepare for cross-border or international selling where Upfrica supports the route, category and fulfilment requirements.
Depending on the country, product and available shipping setup, an order may use Upfrica-assisted delivery or seller-arranged delivery. The buyer only sees delivery options available for that order.
Add your payout details during seller setup. When online payment is available for an order, the buyer pays using a supported checkout method and eligible order proceeds are sent using a seller payout option available in your market. Payout methods, requirements and timing can vary by country and order.
Some products may require review before they appear publicly, especially restricted categories, sensitive products or cross-border listings.
Create your seller account, complete your shop checklist, then add your first products when ready.
Seller approval, payment options, delivery tools and cross-border features may vary by market.
