Frequently Asked Questions

Vendoh is Africa's first voice-powered service marketplace, Nigerian-founded and Africa-focused. Clients speak naturally in English or Nigerian Pidgin to find and book verified local vendors — plumbers, electricians, makeup artists, chefs, nannies and more — with secure payments.

Just say what you need, the way you'd say it to a friend: "I need a plumber near Ikeja" or "abeg, who fit fix generator for Yaba?" Vendoh understands natural English and Pidgin, then matches you with verified vendors near you based on ratings, distance, and availability. You can always type instead if you prefer.

Vendoh launches first in Lagos (Lekki, Surulere, Ikeja, Victoria Island, Yaba), then Abuja and Port Harcourt, with nationwide expansion to follow. Planned African expansion markets include Accra, Nairobi, Kigali, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Vendoh uses a three-tier verification system. Basic vendors complete phone confirmation. Verified vendors pass NIN/BVN identity verification and have at least one 4.0+ star booking. Certified vendors hold trade credentials and have at least 10 bookings averaging 4.5 stars from five or more reviews.

Yes. Payments are processed by CBN-licensed payment providers, with prices agreed before you book and a full record of every transaction in the app. Vendors set the payment model that fits their service — for most services, you simply pay on completion.

Absolutely — that's one of Vendoh's defining features. One account, two roles. The teacher who does makeup on weekends, the banker who caters events: switch between Client and Vendor mode with a single tap, and build your reputation on both sides.

Vendoh's voice AI is designed around how Africans actually speak. It supports natural English and Nigerian Pidgin at launch, with roadmap support for Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and Swahili as the platform expands across the continent.
