Running the business

Selling outside Nigeria

Currency, addresses, payment rails and how the directory handles more than one country.

WeSelling is not Nigeria-only. Shops trade from wherever they are, in their own currency, through payment rails that work where their customers are.

Currency

Set it in Settings before you add stock. It shapes every price, receipt and report in the app.

Set it before you enter prices Changing currency later does not convert anything already entered. The numbers stay and the symbol changes, which is worse than either.

Payment rails by region

Rail	Best for
Paystack	Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya
Flutterwave	Africa, broadly
Nomba	Nigeria
Stripe	US, UK, Europe, most of the world
Lemon Squeezy	Digital products, worldwide — handles sales tax for you
Crypto	Anywhere, no intermediary
Bank transfer / cash	Anywhere, settled by you

Connect any combination in Settings → Integrations. Each appears at checkout as soon as its keys are saved.

Tip Lemon Squeezy is worth a look if you sell digital products internationally — it acts as merchant of record, which means it deals with VAT and sales tax in each country rather than you registering in each of them.

Addresses

The address fields adapt to the country you enter. One shape, named for wherever the shop is:

Country	The tier below a state	Postcode called
Nigeria	Local Government Area	Postcode
United States	County	ZIP code
United Kingdom	Council area	Postcode
Canada	Municipality	Postal code
Kenya	Sub-county	Postcode
India	District	PIN code
Anywhere else	District	Postcode

Note The stored shape does not change, only the label. That is what keeps addresses comparable across countries — and what lets the directory group shops sensibly whether they are in Lagos or Leeds.

How the directory handles countries

The business directory lists every shop that opted in, from every country. It presets the filter to the visitor's country and lets them change it.

The guess comes from the network edge, not from an IP lookup. No third party is told your customers' addresses, and nothing is delayed waiting on a geolocation service. A wrong guess costs the visitor one click.

The location filter is named for whatever is being browsed. Narrow to the United States and it reads Any county; narrow to Nigeria and it reads Any local government area. While several countries are on screen it stays neutral rather than mislabelling somebody's shop.

Being listed

Listing is opt-in, in Settings → SEO. Fill in your address and your search terms — the directory matches on both, and a shop with neither is findable only by name.
