Build your vendor and retailer network

Onboard vendors, shops and distributors across Nigeria with field agents

Signing up vendors by phone and email rarely works when your market is made of kiosks, market stalls and small shops. Cordelia sends verified agents to visit them in person, explain your programme, collect the sign-up details and confirm the shop's location. You pay for each vendor who is actually onboarded.

What agents do

In-person onboarding for vendors who will not sign up online

Shops, kiosks and distributors

Agents visit retailers and distributors, explain your trade or loyalty programme, and sign them up on the spot with a report built for onboarding.

The shop's real location is recorded

Each onboarded vendor is tied to a resolved street, local government area and state, so you know exactly where your network is.

Pay per vendor onboarded

Set a price per approved vendor, or a base plus commission, and pay only for sign-ups you approve.

Evidence you can check

Reports can carry what you ask for, such as photos and details, and are checked for quality and fraud signals before you see them.

Fill the gaps in your coverage

Target the states and areas where you have no vendors yet and watch coverage grow on the live map.

Automatic payouts

Approved onboardings pay the agent straight away from your wallet, with nothing to reconcile at month end.

How it works

From a territory to a network, in four steps

1

Define the programme

Who you want to sign up, in which areas, and what details you need from each vendor.

2

Set the price per vendor

A fixed amount per approved onboarding, or a base plus commission. Fund your wallet.

3

Agents visit and sign up vendors

Verified agents go to the shops in person and submit each sign-up with its location.

4

Approve and activate

Approve the vendors who qualify. Agents are paid automatically.

Onboarding is often the first step. The same agents can also sell to those vendors or capture leads.

Answers

Questions people ask

How do I onboard vendors in Nigeria with Cordelia?

Create a free merchant account, publish a vendor onboarding campaign describing the programme and the areas to cover, and set what you pay per approved vendor. Verified agents visit the shops in person and submit each sign-up with its location.

Can agents onboard retailers and distributors, not only vendors?

You set a price per approved vendor, or a base plus commission. Payment goes from your wallet to the agent automatically once you approve the work.
