Our story

Nigerians already sell on WhatsApp. We just made it work.

Shopdey turns the chat you already use into a real shop — without asking you to become an e-commerce expert.

Walk through any Nigerian market — physical or on your phone — and you'll find the real economy running on WhatsApp. Fashion, food, gadgets, beauty, services: millions of vendors take orders in DMs every single day.

But WhatsApp was never built to be a shop. Vendors answer "how much?" a hundred times, lose orders in the scroll, and watch cautious first-time buyers walk away at "send account number." The tools meant to fix this — full online stores — ask for a website, a CAC certificate, and days of setup most vendors don't have.

So we built the missing middle. Shopdey wraps the messy part of a sale — browse, pay, confirm — into a fast page you share from your chat. It feels like WhatsApp because it lives beside WhatsApp. No app, no website.

Our belief: a vendor should be able to open a real shop in the time it takes to post a status — and sell on their own terms.
What we optimise for

Three tests, every decision

💚

Trust first

Nigerian buyers are careful, and right to be. We lead with Pay on Delivery, and every shop is opened from a WhatsApp number whose control was proven at registration.

Vendor effort → zero

If setup is harder than a status post, vendors won't adopt it. Every flow is measured in taps and seconds, on a cheap Android over throttled data.

Your thread stays yours

Shopdey takes browse, pay and confirm onto a page and leaves your WhatsApp exactly as it was. It does not read or store your conversations with customers, and it puts no contact control on your storefront.
