Every Friday is Black Friday: TD Africa Turns Up the Heat on Tech Accessibility

May 27, 2025

Electronic commerce [eCommerce] in Nigeria has evolved exponentially in recent years, transforming the retail landscape and reshaping consumer habits.

From the early days of skepticism and distrust to today’s thriving online marketplaces, the journey has been marked by innovation, adaptation, and perhaps most importantly, the establishment of trust and security between buyers and sellers.

At the core of this transformation, Pay on Delivery (PoD) has emerged as the unsung hero of eCommerce.

The premise is straightforward: customers could place orders online and pay for their purchases only upon receipt.

This innovative approach not only addressed concerns about security but also provided tangible reassurance to hesitant buyers.

In countries like India, Nigeria, and Indonesia, where a significant portion of the population remains unbanked or underbanked and where distrust in online transactions and fraudulent activities were once rampant, Pay on Delivery has emerged as a lifeline for both consumers and businesses.

Many consumers were understandably hesitant to part with their hard-earned money before receiving their desired goods.

Pay on delivery bridges this trust gap, offering reassurance to buyers and empowering them to transact with confidence.

In Nigeria, despite the adoption of a wide range of electronic payments, cash is still king. The results of a survey conducted in 2021 show that cash remains the dominant payment method, reflecting the ongoing preference for tangible transactions over digital ones.

In addition, a recent report by ongoing preference for tangible transactions over digital ones. In addition, a recent report by Oxford Business Group found that 70% of Nigerians prefer to pay with cash on delivery, while 28% use credit or debit cards, and only 12% use mobile money platforms.

This has challenged e-retailers, and some companies like Jumia, to adapt by prioritizing cash-on-delivery options to cater to this consumer preference.

The Promise of Pay on Delivery in Nigeria

With consumers in mind, Jumia, the leading eCommerce platform in Nigeria, has made Pay on Delivery a cornerstone of its business model.

Understanding the local market dynamics and the importance of trust and convenience, the company has invested heavily in ensuring a seamless Pay on Delivery experience for its customers.

 

One of the key benefits of Jumia’s Pay on Delivery service is its flexibility. Customers have the option to inspect their purchases before making payment, ensuring satisfaction and reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions.

This added layer of security not only enhances the overall shopping experience but also builds long-term trust and loyalty among customers.

Moreover, Jumia has implemented rigorous quality control measures to ensure that products meet customer expectations upon delivery.

This includes partnering with reputable brands and implementing stringent verification processes to prevent counterfeit goods from entering the marketplace.

By prioritizing customer satisfaction and product quality, Jumia has solidified its reputation as a trusted online retailer in Nigeria.

Beyond enhancing trust and security, Pay on Delivery has also played a crucial role in driving financial inclusion in Nigeria.

By providing an alternative payment method for those without access to traditional banking services, Jumia has expanded the reach of eCommerce to a broader segment of the population.

This not only benefits consumers by providing greater access to goods and services but also stimulates economic growth by fostering entrepreneurship and driving demand for products and services.

In all, the future of eCommerce in Nigeria looks promising, with Pay on Delivery poised to remain a key enabler of growth and expansion.

As technology continues to advance and consumer preferences evolve, innovative solutions like Pay on Delivery will continue to drive the transformation of the retail landscape, empowering Nigerian consumers and businesses alike.
