Lagos is Africa's largest city and its WhatsApp commerce capital. Businesses that sell on WhatsApp here aren't early adopters — they're mainstream.
Lagos is home to over 20 million people and one of the world's most active WhatsApp commerce ecosystems. From Lekki and Victoria Island to Surulere and Yaba, small businesses — restaurants, bakeries, fashion boutiques, grocery stores — routinely take orders on WhatsApp. The 'WhatsApp vendor' is a recognised business category in Lagos, and customers expect to be able to order from local businesses this way.
WhatsApp ordering in Lagos: Lagos customers actively seek out WhatsApp vendors. A shareable storefront link is the upgrade from the unorganised photo-and-price screenshot approach that most Lagos vendors currently use.
💳 Common payments in Lagos: Bank transfers (via USSD or mobile banking apps like Opay, PalmPay, Kuda) are the dominant payment method. Cash on delivery is also common for local deliveries.
