Who it's for

Solo builder targeting gig economy workers (delivery, tutoring, freelance) who need instant payment splitting without complex banking

How to build it

1. Launch a lightweight web app that lets users create a payment link, specify split recipients (e.g., 70% you, 30% commission), and generate a shareable URL 2. Integrate with Nigeria's fastest payment gateway (Flutterwave or Paystack) to handle the actual transactions and auto-distribute funds in real-time 3. Build a simple dashboard showing transaction history, recipient payouts, and basic analytics 4. Start with one use case (e.g., ride-share earnings splits) and add templates for other gig work 5. Layer in referral incentives—pay builders 2-5% commission on transaction volume for every new user they invite

Suggested stack

Next.js or FlaskPaystack or Flutterwave APIVercel or Railway (hosting)PostgreSQLStripe or local payment rails for recurring billing

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigeria has millions of gig workers moving money daily with no easy split-payment tool. You're local, understand the payment friction, and can launch cheaper than a centralized fintech. Integrate with Paystack/Flutterwave (instant, trusted locally), set a 1-2% transaction fee, and own the emerging gig-economy segment before a VC-backed competitor notices.
