The problem

Across Nigeria, vendors run whole shops from a chat app. Every sale is typed by hand: answer the price, haggle, share account details, wait for the alert, confirm the address. Step away for an hour and the buyer moves on.

  • Slow replies lose sales

    A buyer who asks at 11pm and hears back at 9am has already bought from the next stall.

  • Haggling eats the day

    The same price question fifty times, then a back-and-forth with every single buyer.

  • Fake alerts cost stock

    A doctored transfer screenshot looks real enough, and the shoes are gone before the bank app loads.

How it works

  1. Sowo waving hello

    01

    Buyer messages

    In Pidgin or English, at any hour. Sowo answers in seconds with real prices and stock.

  2. Sowo holding up a price tag with a cheeky smile

    02

    Sowo haggles to your floor

    You set the lowest price for each item. Sowo counters in steps and never goes below it.

  3. Sowo hugging a gold coin with a padlock on it

    03

    Payment is checked

    Buyers pay to your bank account, or by Paystack link if you connect it. An order counts as paid when the money lands, never when a screenshot arrives.

  4. Sowo taping up a cardboard box

    04

    You pack

    You get an alert with the item, size and address. Pack it, send it, done.

A real sale, replayed

Kelechi wants black leather loafers in size 43. He offers ₦35,000, Sowo counters, they settle on ₦41,000, and the ₦43,500 payment clears with delivery to Ikeja.

Turn on tool calls to see who decides what.

Under the hood

The AI reads the buyer and picks a tool. Your floor price, stock and delivery fees are enforced in code, so no clever message can talk it into a price you didn't set.

Haggling down to your floor

Set a price and a floor for each item. Sowo concedes in steps, holds firm at the floor, and never reveals it to the buyer or to the model.

Payments that hold up

Bank transfer into your own account, or a Paystack link if you connect one. An order counts as paid when the money is, not when a screenshot arrives.

Replies in Pidgin and English

Buyers write how they talk. Sowo understands “Abeg do am 35k” and answers in the same register.

Sowo never sends money, issues refunds or changes prices on its own.

Your floor stays secret

Prices, counters and stock are decided in code. The AI never sees your floor price, and no message can talk it down.

Money decides, not screenshots

An order is paid when the transfer is in your account or Paystack's webhook confirms it. Sowo never takes a buyer's word for it.

Take over in one tap

Pause Sowo mid-chat and answer the buyer yourself. It stays quiet until you switch it back on.

Frontend, backend and the rules between them are public, so you can read exactly how a price is decided.
