How protection works

Buyer feels safe
Shujaa Pay holds
You get paid

Buyers trust you instantly — even on the first order.

Buying and selling online shouldn't feel risky. Every day, buyers are afraid to pay first, and sellers are afraid to deliver first. Because of this, many deals never happen — and when they do, someone often gets cheated. Shujaa Pay safely holds the money until the product is delivered and confirmed, protecting both sides.

Simple process

How Shujaa Pay Works

Five simple steps that protect both sides.

01

Agree the deal

Buyer and seller agree on the product and price on social media.

02

Create a payment link

Seller creates a secure payment link in Shujaa Pay.

03

Buyer pays

Buyer pays through the link. Money is held safely in the middle.

04

Seller delivers

Seller sends the product or completes the service.

05

Money released

Funds go to the seller after the buyer confirms delivery.

"Escrow" simply means we hold the money in the middle — safe — until the deal is done.
