About Us
Making selling online effortless for African entrepreneurs
Paylo is building the commerce infrastructure for Africa — starting with Nigeria, one of the continent's most dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Our Mission
We believe that regardless of technical skill, budget, or location, every entrepreneur deserves access to the same powerful selling tools that were previously only available to large enterprises or wealthy markets.
We're starting with Nigeria and expanding from there.
What we're building
Today, Paylo gives merchants a beautiful storefront, inventory management, order processing, and seamless payment collection. But that's just the start.
- Customers discover any product in Nigeria through visual AI search
- Physical businesses go online in minutes with NFC-powered storefronts
- Cross-border commerce as simple as sending a WhatsApp message
- Every merchant gets real-time analytics, AI-powered pricing, and growth insights
Our Values
The principles that guide every product decision and every interaction with our merchants.
Simplicity First
Complex problems deserve elegant solutions. Every feature we ship must make running a business easier, not harder.
Built for Africa
We design for real network conditions, local payment methods, and the way African entrepreneurs actually work — on mobile, on the go.
Merchant Success = Our Success
We only win when our merchants win. Every decision we make is evaluated through that lens.
Radical Transparency
We build in public, share our roadmap openly, and treat our merchants as partners who get a say in how the technology they use is built.
