Identity, delivery, and payment in one system.
Many marketplaces use separate tools for seller checks, delivery, and payments. Disputes start in the gaps between them.
Baobab Commerce keeps verification, delivery evidence, and payment release in one place. It reduces risk; it does not remove it.
How an order works
From verification to settlement.
Hold funds
The buyer's payment is held in escrow. Placing an order does not pay the seller.
Confirm delivery
The agent uploads a photo and enters the buyer's code. Funds are released after that.
One workspace per role.
Buyers, sellers, delivery agents, and administrators each have their own app. Administrator actions are logged.
Operators
Run verification, delivery assignment, disputes, commissions, and marketplace oversight from explicit workflows.
Sellers
Publish products, prepare orders, follow delivery progress, and understand earnings from a mobile-ready dashboard.
Delivery agents
Work through verified assignments and evidence-based collection and delivery states.
Buyers
Discover verified sellers, pay through an escrow-backed flow, and confirm receipt with an OTP.
Built for Ghana
Made for local conditions.
