How Ghana sellers actually get paid
MoMo, deposits, and trust are the real checkout. Here is the loop that works before you build a fancy store.
How Ghana sellers actually get paid
A website is not the till. In Accra and Kumasi, money usually moves on MoMo and a WhatsApp chat.
The loop
- Show the product clearly.
- Take a deposit or full payment to a matching MoMo name.
- Send a receipt in the same thread.
- Deliver, then ask for a voice-note.
That is the classroom in one paragraph. The blueprints walk it in detail — pre-orders, stalls, dropshipping, ads, and freelance work.
Start with one SKU
Do not open twelve categories. One item, ten conversations, one delivery. Then repeat.
