Who it's for

Solo or 2-person team with fintech basics; target: Nigerian e-commerce platforms, fashion/electronics retailers, or direct-to-consumer brands

How to build it

1. Launch MVP as Shopify/WooCommerce plugin or white-label widget for 2–3 partner e-commerce sites; integrate Paystack/Flutterwave for payment splits 2. Build core logic: split cart total into 2–4 equal installments, auto-debit from customer's card on schedule, hold installment fees (15–25% margin) 3. Verify customer identity via BVN lookup (free via NIBSS API) and past transaction history to approve 80%+ instantly; no manual underwriting 4. Partner with 5–10 mid-size e-commerce sellers (fashion, electronics) offering installments as checkout option; track conversion lift 5. Automate payment collection via scheduled Paystack/Flutterwave charges; build admin dashboard showing default rates, customer cohorts, revenue

Suggested stack

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigeria has high card-ownership, low credit access, and strong e-commerce growth—instant installments fill a gap. Local payment rails (Paystack, Flutterwave) are cheap & fast. BVN verification is free and real-time. Retailers desperate for conversion lift will white-label immediately. No FX risk if you price in NGN and settle in naira.
