Zweka charges a service fee so we can hold payment, run disputes and pay out sellers securely. Defaults are designed to stay competitive with Nigerian peer marketplaces.
Current standard
| Side | Rate | Floor | Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer | 5% of item | ₦150 | ₦10,000 |
| Seller | 5% of item | ₦250 | ₦25,000 |
Example: ₦100,000 item → buyer pays about ₦105,000 total; seller payout about ₦95,000; platform fees ₦10,000 before payment-provider costs.
Large tickets hit the caps (e.g. a ₦2M service does not take ₦100k+ per side).
What fees are not
- Not a separate “processing” line at checkout — card/wallet costs are absorbed inside the model
- Not charged on free giveaways
- Snapshotted on the order when created — later admin changes do not rewrite old orders
