We are targeting a closed beta in Lagos in Q3 2026, with a public launch shortly after. Waitlist members get early access and will be notified first.
Phase 1 covers Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. We will expand to additional cities based on demand from the waitlist.
We start with beauty (hair, nails, makeup, barbers), home services (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, tiling), and fashion (tailoring). More trades added based on demand.
Yes. Customers pay only the artisan's service fee. Gwani takes a small commission from the artisan side, so the platform is free to book on.
Every artisan submits their NIN (National Identification Number) and a live selfie. Our team reviews manually before their profile goes live โ typically within 24 hours.
Artisans receive weekly payouts directly to their Nigerian bank account via Paystack Transfer every Friday. No waiting, no chasing.
You can file a dispute directly in the app. Our team responds within 24 hours and your deposit is refunded if the artisan failed to honour the booking.
Gwani is launching in Lagos soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first customers and artisans on the platform.
