How it works

From “I need someone” to done.

  1. 1

    Find someone close

    Open the map and see verified people around you, with prices and reviews up front. You can look around before you sign in.

  2. 2

    Tap Book now

    Pick the service and a time. The provider gets your request and accepts it, usually in minutes.

  3. 3

    Chat and track

    Once they accept, message in the app and follow them live on the map as they head your way.

  4. 4

    Pay when it's done

    Nothing is charged up front. When the job is finished, pay by card, bank or cash, then leave a review.

Pay at completion

You pay when it's done. Not before.

  • ₦0 to book

    Booking is free. Nothing leaves your account until the job is finished.

  • Card, bank or cash

    Pay through Paystack in the app, or in cash where your provider accepts it.

  • A record of every job

    Price, messages, timing and payment stay with the booking, in case anything needs sorting.

Errands

Someone goes, so you don't have to.

Market runs, pickups, queues and deliveries across Lagos. Send someone nearby, follow them live, and chat as they go.

You only pay Pipo the errand fee.

Buying something along the way? Pay the shop yourself, or send the money to your runner. Pipo never holds your shopping money.

Safety

Trust, built into every booking.

For providers

Lowest commission. Biggest payday.

Other booking and ride apps take 20 to 25% of every job. Pipo takes just 8%, only 5% on errands, and never more than ₦50,000 on a booking. The lowest commission around, so almost every naira you earn is yours.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Pipo?

Pipo is a local-services app for Lagos. You see trusted people near you (barbers, cleaners, plumbers, electricians, movers, errand runners and more), book one in a tap, and pay when the job is done.

Do I pay before the job?

No. Booking is free. You pay the agreed price after the provider marks the job complete, by card or bank through Paystack, or in cash where the provider accepts it.

How do errands work?

Tell a runner what you need, for example a phone from Computer Village. Pipo only handles the errand fee. You pay for the item yourself, directly to the shop or to the runner, and agree the details in chat.

Can I look around without an account?

Yes. You can browse providers, profiles, prices and reviews without signing in. You only need an account to book, message or pay.

How are providers checked?

Providers can verify their identity with their NIN or BVN, and verified providers carry a blue badge on their profile. Only customers whose job was completed can review it, and each booking keeps a record of messages, timing and payment in case anything needs to be sorted out.

How much does Pipo charge providers?

No sign-up, listing or monthly fees. Pipo takes 8% of a completed service and 5% of an errand fee, capped at ₦50,000 per booking, the lowest commission around, so providers keep 92% or more. Many booking and ride apps take 20 to 25%. Providers are paid out instantly after the customer pays.

Does Pipo do rides?

Yes. Pipo Rides is coming to the app: short local trips by bike or car with a rider nearby. You see the fare before you confirm and pay when you arrive.
