Payment options are simple and secure, providing you with a seamless and reliable way to complete your online purchases, ensuring your personal and financial information remains protected throughout the entire transaction process.
When you sign up as a merchant on Alpha Shop, you automatically get your dedicated store website, which serves as your product catalogue. This link can be shared with your customers and also put on your social media pages' bio for them to just click and order.
To protect our merchants from fraudulent orders, customers are required to pay into Alpha escrow account before merchants are notified of the order. Also, customers can purchase items from Alpha Shop merchants without the fear of being scammed or getting the wrong items due to the escrow protection.
Merchants enjoy dedicated account managers who can assist with every question, enquiry, order, return, and more. They go as far as updating merchants on every delayed pickup, monitoring delivery timelines with delivery associates, and tutoring on how to utilise Alpha Shop benefits for business growth.
E-commerce merchants can easily share their product badges on social media platforms, which consist of the product image, product price, Alpha code, and verification badge. With Alpha Shop (by GIG Logistics), we enable your store with a reliable payment gateway that collects all your payments swiftly.
Customers enjoy up to 50% off delivery fees nationwide. Affordable deliveries such as Abuja to Lagos for as low as ₦2,800, Lagos to Port Harcourt for as low as ₦3,000, and within your city for as low as ₦800.
Once you receive an order, your Alpha Wallet (powered by Stellas Bank) is credited with the sales immediately, but as a passive payment. As soon as your order is delivered to the customer, the money becomes active and ready to withdraw. With this, the Alpha Shop platform gives you full insight into your business progress and real-time inventory to keep track of your stock.
