How it works
Whether you're booking your first artisan or setting up your storefront, every step is designed to be clear.
For customers
Search, book, pay, and review
Browse verified artisans by trade, location, rating, and price. Every artisan on Gwani has passed NIN/BVN identity verification. You see their real name, photo, and reviews before booking.
Choose a service, pick a date and time from the artisan's live availability. Confirm in under 60 seconds. No calls. No WhatsApp negotiations. No ghosting.
Your deposit goes straight into secure escrow, held by Gwani. Not a single naira reaches the artisan until the service is complete and you say so.
When you're satisfied, give the artisan your 6-digit completion code. Payment releases instantly. Then leave a verified review.
Escrow guarantee. If the artisan doesn't show or the service is unsatisfactory, file a dispute within 24 hours. Our team reviews and issues a full refund if the artisan is at fault.
