How a trade works
1
You post a listingSay whether you are selling airtime or buying it, pick your rate, and set how much you can handle per order.
2
A customer places an orderTheir money goes into escrow immediately — FricoPay holds it, so nobody can run off with it.
3
The customer acts firstWhoever must send goes first and uploads a screenshot as proof. This is what protects both sides.
4
The other side confirmsOnce received is confirmed, the money is released minus the 4% fee and lands in your balance.
Money
4% per completed tradeTaken from the cash value when a trade completes. Nothing is charged on orders that never complete.
Top up to buy airtimeIf you offer to BUY airtime, the cash is held from your balance when someone orders — so keep it funded or you will miss orders.
WithdrawalsMinimum GHS 10, 3% fee, paid straight to the MoMo number on your verified profile.

Running your store
1
Keep your rate competitiveBuyers sort by the best rate. A slightly better rate usually wins far more orders than a high one.
2
Go offline when you are awayUse the Go live switch. Orders you cannot answer quickly hurt your rating more than missing them.
3
Answer fastSend and confirm as soon as you can. Speed is what earns repeat customers in this market.
4
Keep stock accurateEdit your listing when your available amount changes so buyers are not ordering what you cannot deliver.
5
Build your ratingEvery completed trade can earn a review. Rating and completed trades are the first thing buyers look at.
Never trade outside FricoPayIf anyone asks you to pay or send directly, refuse and report it. Outside trades have no escrow and no protection.
