AfriDeal

Nothing is paid out
until you confirm it arrived.

Whether you buy from a verified supplier or ask a runner to source something for you, you pay AfriDeal — not the person filling the order. We hold the order open until you tell us the goods are in your hands, and only then is the supplier or the runner settled.

AfriDeal is not a payment provider. Payments are processed by licensed partners — DPO Pay, Orange Money and PayGate — and AfriDeal does not hold funds on behalf of buyers or suppliers. Your card details never reach us.

  1. 1. Tell us what you need

    Shop the catalogue, or describe something it does not carry.

  2. 2. Get a price

    A published rung on a listing, or a quote from a runner or our desk.

  3. 3. Pay AfriDeal

    Through a licensed payment provider. You are buying from us, not the supplier.

  4. 4. We procure

    We buy from a verified supplier, or a runner finds and checks it.

  5. 5. We deliver

    A tracked courier brings it to you, and you confirm it arrived.

Choose how you want us to help

Three transactions, not one with two afterthoughts. Pick the one that matches what you are trying to buy.

Two ways in, the same protection

The states below are the ones the platform actually runs on — the same words you will see on your own order or request while it is open. Both chains end the same way: you confirm, and only then does the money move outward.

Marketplace orders

Something the catalogue already carries, at a published price.

  1. PAID

    You pay AfriDeal

    Through a licensed provider — DPO Pay, Orange Money or PayGate. Not the supplier, and never into a private account.

  2. PROCESSING

    The supplier prepares your order

    Routed to whichever verified supplier holds the stock. A mixed basket splits, and each supplier sees only their own part of it.

  3. IN TRANSIT

    A vetted courier delivers it

    Pickup and drop-off are tracked against the order, so you can see where it is.

  4. DELIVERED

    You confirm, and the supplier is paid

    Nothing is settled outward until the order closes. Late, short or not as described: report it and we replace or refund it.

Runner requests

Something it does not — sourced, priced and bought on your say-so.

  1. REQUESTED

    You submit your request

    Describe what you need, where you are, and what you would expect to pay.

  2. ACCEPTED

    A verified runner takes the job

    Background-checked, rated on jobs they have already finished.

  3. SOURCING

    The runner goes looking

    They find it, check the condition and negotiate on your behalf.

  4. QUOTED

    The price comes back to you

    What it costs, where it came from, what condition it is in. Nothing has been bought yet.

  5. APPROVED

    You approve the purchase

    Only now is anything bought. Say no and the request ends, at no cost to you.

  6. DELIVERING

    Bought, and on the way

    The runner or a courier brings it to the address on the request.

  7. CONFIRMED

    You confirm, and the runner is paid

    The runner’s fee is released once you have the goods in hand.

You stay in control at every step. A runner request can be cancelled at no cost right up until you approve the price, and a marketplace order that arrives late, short or not as described can be disputed for seven days after delivery.

The price depends on who is buying, and how many

A product does not have one universal price. Prices are set per quantity, they are the same for every account type, and they apply automatically at checkout — the markup falls from 60% over supplier cost at a single unit to 22% at fifty. Past 100 units we quote rather than list, because the figure then depends on your delivery point and lead time.

These five packages are the baseline for every product on the platform. No listing has its own quantity breaks, and no rung is withheld pending an account.

Payments handled by licensed partners

Processed through DPO Pay, Orange Money or PayGate. AfriDeal never sees your card details.

Suppliers verified before they list

Registration, tax and banking details are checked, and orders route on reliability.

Delivery you can follow

Pickup and drop-off are tracked against the order, across Botswana and South Africa.

A wrong order is ours to fix

You buy from AfriDeal, so a late, short or incorrect order is ours to replace or refund.
