Launching soon in Lagos and Asaba

Rides, errands and deliveries, all in one Nigerian app.

Offer your own price for a ride, send someone on an errand, or order food and shopping from places near you. Drivers keep what they earn. Sellers list for free.

Free on iPhone and Android.

Three apps. Everybody has a place.

Whether you need something, carry something or sell something, there is a Wells247 app for you. One phone number signs you in to all three.

Wells247

You name the price. Somebody nearby says yes.

  • Ride

    Choose a car or keke and offer what you want to pay. Nearby drivers accept, decline or ask for a little more, and you decide. The app shows the driver, the car and the plate before they arrive.

  • Errand

    Send someone to buy, pick up, drop off or queue for you. Say what you will pay. When the job is done, you give the driver a code from your app, and only then is it closed.

  • Shop

    Order from restaurants, supermarkets and shops of every kind. The shop confirms it has your item before you pay, and the delivery fee is flat and shown upfront.

Wells247 Seller

Sell from your shop, or from your sitting room.

Restaurants, supermarkets, fashion, phones, home cooks. If you have something good to sell, open a shop on Wells247. It is free, and you pay us nothing on your sales.

  • Sign up with your personal details. Once they are checked, open as many shops as you like.
  • Add as many products as you want, each with photos, a description and a price.
  • Orders come to you first. Customers pay only after you confirm you have the item, so there are no refunds for things you don't have.
  • Every night we pay you by bank transfer for the orders that reached the customer that day.
  • Add your CAC number, business address and business bank account to earn the Verified business tag. Shops without it can still sell.

Why I started Wells247

I have watched too many people in this country work hard all day and still go home with little. A driver sits in traffic from morning till night, and a big part of every fare is gone before he sees it. A woman cooks the best food on her street, but nobody beyond her street knows. A young man with a bicycle wants honest work, and no door opens for him.

I started Wells247 because I believe a platform should favour the people who use it, not take from them.

So drivers pay no commission. They buy a small flat pass on the days they work, and every naira they earn after that is theirs. When they want their money, they get it the same hour. Sellers open their shops for free and pay us nothing on their sales. Customers name their own price for rides and errands, and see a flat delivery fee before they pay.

You may ask how we will make money. We will sell simple, low-cost adverts to businesses, kept away from your payment and safety screens, and we will never give your personal details to advertisers. That is enough for us. I want prices to stay low for everybody.

Wells247 is meant to connect everyone. The person who needs a ride, the one who needs something bought, the trader, the restaurant, the keke man, the bike man, the student with a bicycle. Everybody gets a way to work and earn. Everybody is involved. This is by Nigerians, for Nigerians.

We are starting in Lagos and Asaba. Come and build it with us.

Safety comes before speed

Every trip, errand and delivery has the same protection built in, for customers and for drivers.

  • Checked drivers

    Before their first job, every driver's licence, NIN and bank account name are checked, their photo is matched to their ID, and they do a live video check. Their home address must be confirmed within 30 days.

  • Trip PIN

    Your trip starts only when you give the driver the 4-digit PIN from your app, so you always enter the right car.

  • SOS button

    One tap during a job alerts our safety team, and drivers can call 112 straight from the app.

  • Share your trip

    Let someone you trust follow your trip while it happens.

  • In-app messages

    Chat with your driver or customer inside the app during the job, without leaving it.

Questions people ask

Can't find your answer? contact support and we will help.

Customers

What can I do with the Wells247 app?

Four things: book a ride in a car or keke, send someone on an errand, order food from restaurants, and order shopping from shops of every kind. A driver nearby does the job.

How does offering my own price for a ride work?

You set your pickup and drop-off, and offer an amount. Nearby drivers can accept it, decline it, or ask for a little more. If a driver asks for more, you can accept, decline or make one final offer. If nobody takes your offer, the app suggests a higher amount that may get you a ride faster.

Can I ride on a bike or bicycle?

No. Rides are in cars and keke only. Bikes and bicycles do errands and deliveries.

How do errands work?

Post what you need done (buy, pick up, drop off, queue, anything reasonable) and the amount you will pay. A driver accepts, declines or asks for a different amount. You are charged when a driver accepts. When the job is done, you give the driver a code from your app, which closes the errand.

What if my errand involves buying something?

Your offer must cover the item and the runner's pay. The runner pays for the item with their own money first, and is repaid when you give the code at the end. The app tells both of you this before the errand is accepted.

How much does food and shopping delivery cost?

Delivery is a flat fee that depends on the size of the item, the distance and the vehicle. You see it before you pay, and it is not negotiated.

What happens if my order or errand doesn't arrive?

You get your money back. A shop is never paid for an order that did not reach you, and a driver is not paid for an errand that was cancelled or never completed.

Can I rate a shop?

Yes. After an order you can rate the shop and write a review to help other customers.

Payments

How can I pay?

Rides can be paid in cash, by bank transfer or by card in the app. Errands and shop orders are paid by card or bank transfer in the app. There is no cash on delivery for shop orders.

Are there extra fees on top of my price?

Wells247 adds no card or transfer fee of its own. Payments are processed by Flutterwave, which may add its own small payment fee on its checkout page. We do not add VAT or extra tax for customers or drivers, and shop prices already include VAT.

When am I charged for a shop order?

Only after the shop confirms it has your item. That way you are never charged for something that is out of stock.

Drivers

Does Wells247 take a commission?

No. You pay a flat daily pass on the days you work and keep everything you earn from trips, errands and deliveries.

How much is the daily pass?

₦1,000, valid until midnight Lagos time. A pass bought from 7 pm costs ₦500, and bicycle couriers always pay ₦500. If you don't work on a day, you pay nothing for that day. Pay by card, by transfer, or from your earnings. Prices are set for each city, and the app shows today's price before you pay.

How do I get my money?

Request a withdrawal in the Driver app whenever you want (the minimum is ₦500). Our accounts team sends it to your bank account by transfer within 60 minutes. Very large withdrawals in one day need an extra approval first.

What do I need to sign up?

Your driver's licence, NIN, a bank account in your name, a photo, a short live video check and your vehicle details. You also confirm your home address within 30 days of approval, and agree to share your location while you are online or on a job.

Can I work with a bike or a bicycle?

Yes. Bikes and bicycles do errands and deliveries. Cars and keke do rides, errands and deliveries.

Can I decline jobs?

Yes, you choose which jobs to take. If you decline a lot of jobs in a short time while online, our team will contact you to find out why.

Sellers

Does it cost anything to sell on Wells247?

No. Opening a shop is free, and Wells247 takes nothing from your sales.

Do I need a registered business?

No. Anyone can sell, even from home. If you add your CAC number, business address and business bank account, and they pass our checks, your shop gets the Verified business tag.

When do I get paid?

Every night, by bank transfer, for the orders that reached the customer that day. An order that fails before delivery is refunded to the customer and is not paid out.

Can I run more than one shop?

Yes. One seller account can have many shops, and each shop can list as many products as you like.

Safety and accounts

How do you check drivers?

We check each driver's licence, NIN and bank account name, match their photo to their ID, and do a live video check before they can take jobs. Their home address must be confirmed within 30 days.

Will my phone number be shared?

Only with the other person on your job, and only while the job is on. You can also message each other inside the app.

I changed my phone number. How do I get back into my account?

On the sign-in screen, tap "Changed your phone number?". Enter the email you confirmed when you signed up, type the code we send to it, then enter your new number and the code we text to it. Your account moves to the new number. If you can't reach your email either, contact support.

Can I use one account for all three apps?

Yes. You sign in to Wells247, Wells247 Driver and Wells247 Seller with the same phone number.

Do you sell my data to advertisers?

No. Wells247 shows simple adverts in its apps, but advertisers never get your personal details without your consent, and ads never appear on payment, safety or identity screens.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Account in the app and choose Delete account. You can also contact support. See Delete your account for the steps in each app and what we keep.
