How Selling Works

Your quick guide to making money safely on ProlyfiQ.

1. Stock Your Store

Add your items using the List New Item page. Set a fair price and select a safe campus pickup location. The system deducts a small service fee only when you make a sale, you pay nothing upfront.

Sale Price Service Fee Transfer Fee
Up to GHS 499.99 3.5% GHS 0.40 – 0.80
GHS 500 – 1,999.99 3% GHS 0.40
GHS 2,000 and above 2.5% GHS 0.40

Transfer fee is GHS 0.80 for sales at or below GHS 25.00, and GHS 0.40 for everything above.

Pro Tip: Use the Marketing Toolkit to share your storefront on WhatsApp so students know what you're selling.

2. Get an Order

When a buyer pays for your item, their money is held securely in Escrow. You'll receive an SMS instantly with their phone number.

Next Move: Call the buyer and agree on a time to meet at the campus landmark shown in your SMS. The day can be flexible, but the time window and location are fixed for everyone's safety.

3. Meet & Scan

Meet the buyer at the agreed campus landmark. Let them inspect the item. If they're happy, open your dashboard and go to P.O.D. / Withdrawals to generate the QR code for that item. The buyer scans it, and confirms the transaction.

CRITICAL: The buyer MUST scan your QR code and confirm the transaction, as it is the only way to prove that the item was delivered, for the money to be released to your account, otherwise, the money stays in escrow and will not be released!

4. Get Paid Instantly

The moment the buyer confirms, the system releases your payout. The service fee and transfer fee are deducted automatically, and the rest is sent straight to your Mobile Money wallet.

You'll receive an SMS confirming the handover is complete and your money is on the way. Most payouts arrive within minutes.
