How to Create a Free Online Store in Nigeria (No Developer Needed)

You do not need a developer, a hosting plan or dollars to sell online. With Oja you get your own store link the moment you sign up, with checkout, delivery fees and Naira payments built in. Customers order from the link and the order lands in your app.

Before you start

  • Download the Oja app from the App Store or Google Play, or go to useoja.com.
  • Have a name for your store and a few product photos on your phone.
  • That is all. There is nothing to pay to start.

1

Tap Create your store

Open the Oja app and tap Create your store.

Tap: Create your store
Oja welcome screen with the Create your store button highlighted

Sign up and name your store

Use Continue with Google or Continue with Apple, or type your name, email and a password and tap Next.

Then type your store name. Oja checks your link while you type, like adafabrics.useoja.com, and suggests others if it is taken. Tap Create my store. Your store is live.

Tap: Full name
Oja sign-up screen, About you, with the Full name field highlighted

Which plan has it:Every plan has a store link. The free Apprentice plan holds up to 20 products and Oja takes 5% of sales made through your store. Odogwu (₦4,900 a month) has unlimited products, store looks and 0% Oja fee. Chairman (₦9,900 a month) adds your own domain, like shop.yourbrand.com.

Tips that bring orders

  • Set your delivery areas and fees (Account, then Delivery) so customers see the full price at checkout.
  • Clear, bright photos on a plain background sell better than anything you can write.
  • Share one product at a time on your status with its own link, not only the whole store.
