PLACE YOUR ORDER

Building the digital infrastructure for everyday commerce in Africa.

PYO brings businesses, products, ordering and payments into one accessible commerce ecosystem built around how Africa already trades.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Commerce is already digital. The infrastructure is fragmented.

Across Nigeria and Africa, businesses already use social media, messaging applications, phone calls and direct transfers to trade. But these channels were not designed to provide an end-to-end commerce experience.

01

Discovery

Products and businesses are scattered across social platforms and individual seller pages.

02

Ordering

Customers often rely on messages and phone calls to confirm prices, availability and orders.

03

Payments

Payment confirmation and transaction processes are frequently handled manually.

04

Trust

Fragmented commerce can make verification, transaction visibility and customer confidence more difficult.

WHAT IS PYO?

One ecosystem for the way Africa already trades.

PYO is a localized commerce platform and digital commerce infrastructure for African merchants, consumers and services.

Instead of creating another generic marketplace, PYO is designed to organize the fragmented buying, selling and payment journey into a more accessible experience.
