How it works
From zero to trading
in under 5 minutes.
Create your free account
Sign up in 60 seconds. Choose whether you are a buyer, a seller, or both. Your account is created instantly.
Verify your identity
Upload your NIN, passport, or driver's license. Take a quick selfie. We verify in under 24 hours. This is what makes ConnectMarket safe.
Find or list near you
Search for verified sellers within your neighbourhood — Lagos Island, Ikeja, Maitama, or any of 10,000+ locations across Africa.
Pay safely, always
All payments go through ConnectMarket escrow. Money is held until you confirm delivery. Zero fraud. Zero risk.
Platform features
Built different.
Not just another listings board.
Hyper-local search
Find sellers on Lagos Island specifically. Lekki Phase 1. Victoria Island. Maitama. Your neighbourhood, not just your city.
AI fraud protection
Every listing is scored for quality and fraud risk before it goes live. Bad actors are caught before they reach you.
Escrow payments
Pay securely. Your money is held until delivery is confirmed. If something goes wrong, you get it back. Always.
ConnectLive streaming
Sellers go live. Show products in real time. Buyers watch, react, and order — without leaving the stream.
Verified identity badges
Every seller is ID-verified by our team. Three tiers: Verified, Pro, and Elite. Instantly visible on every listing.
54 African countries
Lagos finds Abuja. Accra finds Nairobi. London diaspora finds Lagos. Africa is one market now.
Real people. Real products. Real trust.
Trusted across Africa.
“I used to rely on WhatsApp to find customers. ConnectMarket gave me a real shop page, a verified badge, and now buyers come to me. My income doubled in 3 months.”
Adaeze Obi
Fashion Designer · Lekki, Lagos
“I was scared to buy from someone I don't know. The escrow system changed that — my money is held until I confirm the delivery is correct. I have made 12 orders. Zero problems.”
Emeka Nwosu
Regular Buyer · Abuja, FCT
“Finding a verified barber near me used to mean asking neighbours. Now I open ConnectMarket, filter by Ikeja, and I see 40 verified barbers with real ratings. Game changer.”
Tunde Adeleke
Customer · Ikeja, Lagos
“I am in Ghana but many of my clients are in Nigeria. ConnectMarket lets me list in both countries. The multi-currency wallet handles the NGN and GHS automatically.”
