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.

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.

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.

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

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.
