Buyers ask. Shops bid.
Post what you want and let shops near you compete on price. Sell on Bidazk and get free tools that keep bidding for you after you have closed for the day.
Free to post. Your money sits in escrow until you confirm you got the item.
Two sides, one platform
Buyers get prices without searching. Shops get demand without advertising.
Say it once, get real prices back
Describe the item, set a budget, choose how far you will travel. Shops that actually have it in stock bid against each other, and you pick on price, distance or rating.
Browse open requests →Sell from the counter, not the laptop
Scan a barcode, take the money, send the receipt. It keeps working when the network drops and syncs the moment your data comes back.
Your own store link, free
Every item you add shows up on your own web store at store.bidazk.com. Share it on WhatsApp, put it in your bio, print it on your signage.
Know what to stock before you buy it
We can see what people asked for and nobody could supply. That gap becomes a straight answer: this many buyers near you wanted this last week, and it was not on any shelf.
How matching works →What Lagos is asking for
Every card is a buyer with money ready. If you stock it, bid on it.

Shops bid while they are closed.
A merchant sets their minimum profit once. After that their agent watches every matching request, bids inside those limits, and tells them exactly why it landed on that number.
What you want, your budget, how far you will travel.
We check stock in every shop inside your radius, not the whole country.
Compare and accept. Money moves out of escrow only when you confirm you got the item.

Run the shop from your phone
Everything a small shop actually needs, free. The only thing we ask is that your stock stays up to date, because that is what lets your agent bid for you.
Barcode, payment, receipt. Works offline and syncs later.
Every sale updates your inventory, so you always know what is left.
Set your minimum profit once. Your agent never goes below it.
You only pay when you sell
The merchant tools stay free. We take a cut of cleared sales instead of charging you every month whether you trade or not.

The things people ask first
Is Bidazk a marketplace like Jumia or Jiji?
The other way round. There, shops list what they have and you go searching. On Bidazk you post what you want, and shops come to you with prices. You never scroll through things you did not ask for.
What does it cost a merchant?
The tools are free: inventory, receipts, POS, your own store link, customer records. We take a small cut only when a sale actually clears. If you do not sell, you do not pay.
How is my money protected?
Payment sits in escrow from the moment you accept a bid. The merchant is only paid after you confirm you received the item. If something goes wrong, you open a dispute and we hold the funds until it is resolved.
What is automated bidding, exactly?
A merchant sets their minimum profit once. After that, when a request matches something in their stock, their agent places a bid inside those limits, even at 2am with the shop closed. It can never bid below the floor they set, and they can switch it off at any time.
Do I have to accept the cheapest bid?
No. You see price, distance, delivery time and the merchant's rating, and you pick whichever suits you. Cheapest is not always closest or fastest.
Which areas do you cover?
Lagos at launch, with more states following. Your request only goes to shops inside the radius you set, so you are never matched with someone who cannot reach you.
