About

Buy from anyone, transact safely.

BUYSTIX is a trust platform for social commerce in Nigeria. It lets you buy from vendors you find on social media without gambling on whether your money will come back.

Why BUYSTIX exists

Buying from vendors on social media felt like a gamble. You found a vendor you liked, paid, and hoped. Too often hope was all you got. BUYSTIX was built to remove the gamble: the money is held safely between buyer and vendor until the buyer says the order arrived as promised.

How it works

  1. 1Agree in chatBuyer and vendor agree in the deal chat: item photos, price, and the delivery fee, which only the vendor sets.
  2. 2Money stays lockedThe buyer pays, and BUYSTIX holds the money. The vendor sees the payment is secured and ships the order.
  3. 3Confirm or resolveThe buyer confirms receipt within 24 hours and the vendor gets paid. If anything goes wrong, a dispute ends in one of two outcomes: release or refund.

What BUYSTIX is not

BUYSTIX is not a shop. It does not sell its own products. Vendors sell, buyers buy, and BUYSTIX protects the payment between them. That is the whole job, and it is why the platform is built around escrow, evidence, and disputes rather than storefronts.

Trust you can see

Vendors earn a Verified badge by verifying their identity, and verification also gates withdrawals: unverified vendors cannot withdraw, phone verified vendors can withdraw up to a lifetime cap, and identity verified vendors can withdraw in full. Ratings and reviews are public on every storefront, so a vendor record follows them from deal to deal.
