No anonymous shops. On Zweka, sellers complete identity checks — BVN or virtual NIN, plus a selfie — before a listing can go live. Buyers see the verified mark. That is the deal.
It is the same idea we teach on @zweka.hq: trust signals up front, not hope in a DM.
What buyers get
- A shop tied to a real identity check — harder for throwaway scam accounts
- Clear labelling when someone is verified — see what “verified seller” means
- Checkout that holds payment until you confirm — how held payment works
Verification alone is not magic. Still inspect the item and use Accept — Accept code explained.
What sellers should know
Verification takes about a minute for most people. Start at Verify, then Sell. Details on documents: virtual NIN & verification.
If you are brand new, use the day-by-day plan: Your first week on Zweka.
What verification does not replace
- Your eyes at meetup or on delivery
- Held payment (never pay outside the app)
- Common sense on price and photos — spot scam listings
