Ogbonge.i.ng is a multi-vendor eCommerce platform that connects customers with sellers across Nigeria. To ensure fairness and transparency, both product pricing (set by vendors) and platform fees (charged by Ogbonge.i.ng) follow a simple, structured system.
🔹 1. Product Prices (For Customers)
✅ Set by Vendors
Each vendor (seller) on Ogbonge.i.ng is responsible for setting the price of their own products.
Prices are based on:
Cost of production or sourcing
Market demand and competition
Delivery costs (where applicable)
Discounts or promotions
🛍️ Tip: You may notice that similar products have different prices — that’s because each vendor controls their own pricing.
🔹 2. Taxes and Additional Charges
Some product prices may include or exclude additional charges such as:
VAT (Value Added Tax) – added when applicable
Shipping Fees – calculated at checkout based on your delivery location
Discounts or Coupons – automatically applied at checkout when valid
💡 Always review your cart total before completing checkout to see the final amount you’ll be charged.
🔹 3. Vendor Fees (For Sellers)
Ogbonge.i.ng earns revenue by charging small fees to vendors for using the platform.
These fees help maintain the marketplace, marketing, and secure payment systems.
Here’s an overview of the main vendor fees:
| Type of Fee | Description | Who It Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Commission Fee | A small percentage deducted from each successful sale. | All vendors |
| Withdrawal Fee | Charged when transferring earnings to a vendor’s bank account. | All vendors |
| Subscription Fee (if applicable) | For premium vendors who subscribe to higher-tier accounts with extra features. | Optional |
| Listing Fee (optional) | Applied for certain product categories that require a premium listing. | Selected vendors |
💡 Note: The exact fee percentages and charges can vary by category. Vendors can view these details in their Vendor Dashboard → Settings → Fees & Commissions.
🔹 4. How Vendor Earnings Are Calculated
Example:
If a product sells for ₦10,000 and the commission rate is 10%, the vendor earns:
₦10,000 – ₦1,000 (commission) = ₦9,000
Funds are released to the vendor’s Ogbonge Wallet after the order is completed and confirmed by the buyer.
🔹 5. Viewing and Managing Your Fees
To check your sales and related fees:
Log in to your Vendor Dashboard.
