Dive into the world of Social Media these days and you’re sure to find someone selling a service or a product you might need or want. This is the age of social commerce, entrepreneurs and small business owners are tapping into the exposure and audience that social media tends to offer if utilized properly.

There are 16 million active Nigerian users on Facebook. That’s more exposure than you could ever get with a store at the famous Balogun Market.

Exposure — > Customers — > Sales — > Money

Problem statement

Businesses keep expanding and growing via social commerce, and while this is definitely good, it’s going to get cumbersome managing all of your orders and multiple customers especially if you haven’t set up a website or a store page.

Current methods, require merchants share their account numbers with customers that want to make purchases. Imagine having 20 customers placing an order for your products at the same time via a Twitter Direct Message.

That means you’ll have to share your account number with 20 different customers and ask them individually about things like delivery locations and other information, how efficient is that?

Selar

Selar helps you sell anything (locally and internationally), and receive payments, really really fast. We’ve taken your pain points as merchants and built a product around it to solve some of your most pressing needs.

What we’ve done thus far is, create this very simple platform where a creator can signup, create a store/profile, and start selling almost anything in less than 3 minutes.
