Questions About Your Free Store
Everything you need to know before you open your GOB Business store.
Yes, completely. There is no monthly fee, no annual subscription, no listing fee, and no setup cost. GOB only charges a commission on completed sales if you don't make a sale, you pay nothing. Your first store slot is included with every verified GOB account.
Your store is accessible at gob.ng/store/yourname where "yourname" is the unique store slug you choose when creating your store. You can also connect a custom domain (e.g. yourshop.com) at no extra cost. Slugs are lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only. Certain reserved words (api, app, admin, dashboard, etc.) are not available.
Yes. To create a GOB Business store you must complete KYC verification (NIN or BVN) on your GOB account. This is required to enable payment settlement to your wallet and to protect buyers from fraudulent listings. KYC verification is free and takes a few minutes in the app.
You can sell physical products, digital products (files, courses, templates, software), food and meal orders, and services. GOB Business supports both physical and digital product types. You cannot sell alcohol, tobacco, firearms, counterfeit goods, adult content, financial instruments without appropriate licensing, or any item prohibited by Nigerian law.
Customers at checkout can pay with: GOB Wallet (instant settlement), GOB Wallet + Points (up to 10% discount via points), Bank Transfer to your virtual account (manual confirmation by you), Card or instant bank transfer via Fincra (auto-confirmed), and Pay on Delivery (POD) if you enable it.
Commission rates per payment method: GOB Wallet = 1.5%, GOB Wallet + Points = 1.5%, Bank Transfer = 0.5%, Card / Fincra bank transfer = 2.5%, Pay on Delivery = 0%. Commission is deducted automatically before settlement. Rates are stated at checkout so there are no surprises.
Wallet and Points payments settle to your GOB wallet instantly the same second the order is confirmed. Bank Transfer orders settle after you manually confirm receipt in the GOB app. Card and Fincra payments settle automatically within seconds of the webhook confirmation.
Every verified GOB account includes one free store slot. You can unlock additional store slots for ₦10,000 per slot, deducted from your GOB wallet. Each store has its own URL, products, analytics and settings.
Yes. Guest checkout is supported. Non-GOB users can browse your store, add items to cart, and complete a purchase using Fincra card or bank transfer, or Pay on Delivery. They provide their name, email and phone number at checkout. Only GOB Wallet and GOB Points payments require the customer to have a GOB account.
Yes. You can add a custom domain (e.g. myshop.com or shop.mybrand.ng) in your store settings. GOB will provide DNS configuration instructions. Once your DNS records are verified, your store will load on your custom domain. Custom domain setup is free you only pay for the domain registration with your chosen domain registrar.
Every store includes 2 free themes: Default (hero banner + product grid) and Minimal (product-first, no hero). You can switch themes any time at no cost. A third theme Luxe Pro is available for a one-time purchase of ₦5,000 from your GOB wallet and can be applied to any store you own.
You can create variations for any product such as Size (S, M, L) or Colour (Red, Blue, Black). Each variation can have its own price, sale price, and stock quantity. Variations are selected by the customer on the product page before adding to cart.
From your GOB app dashboard you can see: total store visits, per-product views, total orders, total revenue, and commission paid. Visit data is deduped (one count per IP per hour) to give accurate numbers. You can also connect Google Analytics (GA4), Google Search Console, Meta Pixel, and TikTok Pixel in your store settings.
Yes. You can set your store status to draft (hidden from the public) or delete it entirely from your store settings. Deleting a store permanently removes all product listings, images and custom pages. Order records are retained for accounting and dispute purposes even after store deletion.
Disputes are handled through GOB support at info@gob.ng. Bank Transfer disputes require you to confirm receipt before settlement occurs. For digital products, ensure you have delivery evidence. GOB's dispute policy is outlined in the GOB Business Terms of Use below.
GOB Business Free Store Terms of Use
Last updated: June 2026 · These terms govern the use of the GOB Business free storefront feature and supplement the GOB General Terms & Conditions.

4.2 GOB charges a commission on each completed sale. Commission rates (as of the date of this document) are: GOB Wallet & Wallet+Points: 1.5%, Bank Transfer: 0.5%, Card / Fincra: 2.5%, Pay on Delivery: 0%. These rates are deducted before settlement to your wallet.

5. Orders, Fulfilment & Refunds

6.3 GOB is not liable for buyer disputes, delivery failures, product quality issues or any losses arising from your use of the free store feature.
7. Custom Domains
7.1 Custom domain connection is provided as a free feature. You are responsible for purchasing and renewing your domain with a third-party registrar. GOB does not register, renew or manage domain names on your behalf.

8.3 If your GOB account is suspended, all associated stores will be suspended simultaneously. Store slugs associated with suspended or deleted accounts are not automatically released; requests to release a slug may be made to GOB support.
9. Intellectual Property & User Content
