10. Collabs

The next section is Collabs.

Afri54 Collabs is a paid brand collaboration feature within the platform that allows businesses to partner with verified Afri54 Ambassadors (influencers) for promotional services. These services may include:

  • Social media posts
  • Stories and reels
  • Blog features
  • Video mentions
  • Brand awareness campaigns

Afri54 Collabs operates as a marketplace, not an agency. Ambassadors are independent creators who offer clearly defined services at transparent prices. The platform also provides a secure environment with escrow payments and dispute protection.

Getting Started

Click on Collabs, and you will see two sub-sections:

  • Manage
  • My Orders

Manage

Click on Manage to browse and connect with available influencers.

Each influencer profile includes three options:


Hire – Use this button to place an order

Offer – View the services offered by the influencer

About – Learn more about the influencer

Before placing an order, ensure that your wallet balance is sufficient to cover the cost of the selected service.


For convenience, you can search for a specific influencer or use the dropdown filters to find suitable options.

My Orders

Click on My Orders to manage and track all your purchased services (gigs).



11. Media

The next section is Media.

In this section, you can upload and manage images for your projects, such as your logo, profile picture, and other visual assets.

Even if you do not upload images directly through this section, any images used while creating or designing your Digital Business Card or Afri Store will automatically be saved and stored in the Media library for future use.


12. Packages

The next section is Packages.

In this section, you can view all available Afri54 subscription plans, including the Free Plan.

The Free Plan comes with several limitations. To learn more about the features and restrictions of each plan, please click here.

If you are operating a single business, the Starter Plan is recommended. It provides all the essential features you need, with no immediate need for an upgrade.


However, if you have up to five staff members and would like to provide each of them with a Digital Business Card (DBC) and Afri Store, the Basic Plan is a suitable option. It is also ideal if multiple businesses (up to five) wish to pool resources to subscribe to a single plan.


The same principle applies to the Advanced, Gold, and Grand Master plans, which are designed to accommodate larger teams or multiple businesses with higher capacity needs.


13. Wallet

The next section is Wallet.

To carry out transactions on Afri54—such as paying for your yearly subscription, purchasing eBooks, or hiring influencers—it is important to fund your wallet.

While you can make payments directly through a payment gateway without pre-funding your wallet, maintaining a funded wallet makes transactions faster, easier, and more seamless.

14. Find Suppliers

The next section is Find Suppliers.

One of the core objectives of Afri54 is not only to connect customers with businesses, but also to connect businesses with one another—both locally and across Africa.

By clicking on Find Suppliers, you can quickly discover businesses that are relevant to your operations, opening up valuable business-to-business (B2B) opportunities, partnerships, and supply chain connections.

Below are some practical examples of how this feature can benefit you:

  • A paint manufacturer can connect with paint wholesalers and distributors to expand market reach.
  • A paint retailer or wholesaler can connect directly with manufacturers for better pricing and reliable supply.
  • A furniture manufacturer can connect with timber merchants, sawmills, or log suppliers for raw materials.
  • A carpenter or furniture retailer can connect with furniture producers for bulk supply.
  • A fashion designer or clothing brand can connect with fabric wholesalers, textile importers, or local fabric producers.
  • A fabric seller can connect with tailors, designers, and fashion houses who require consistent supply.
  • A restaurant owner can connect with farmers, food suppliers, and wholesale markets for fresh ingredients.
  • A farmer or agricultural producer can connect with restaurants, hotels, and food processors to supply produce.
  • A cosmetics brand can connect with raw material suppliers (such as oils, shea butter, and chemicals).
  • A beauty product distributor can connect directly with manufacturers for sourcing.
  • A construction company can connect with cement suppliers, steel distributors, and equipment vendors.
  • A building materials supplier can connect with contractors and real estate developers.
  • A logistics or delivery company can connect with eCommerce businesses, wholesalers, and manufacturers that require delivery services.
  • An online seller can connect with trusted logistics providers for efficient order fulfillment.
  • A pharmaceutical distributor can connect with drug manufacturers.
  • A hospital or pharmacy can connect with verified pharmaceutical suppliers.
  • A technology company can connect with hardware suppliers, software developers, or service providers.
  • A business owner can find IT support, website developers, or POS system providers and more.

This feature positions Afri54 as a powerful platform for building partnerships, strengthening supply chains, and driving business growth across Africa.



15. Business Loan

The next section is Business Loan.

As a comprehensive business hub, Afri54 is designed to provide businesses with access to essential resources needed for growth. One of these features is the Business Loan section.

In this section, you can select your country, and the system will display a list of financial institutions and loan providers that offer business financing within your location. The primary objective is to simplify access and connect you with the right funding sources.

Please note: Afri54 does not provide loans directly. The platform only connects you with verified financial institutions and lenders.


16. eBook Store

The next section is the eBook Store.

This feature allows businesses and individuals to access and purchase valuable eBooks designed to support growth and development. A wide range of categories is available, including Business and Entrepreneurship, Finance and Investing, Leadership, and more.

  • When you click on the eBook Store button, you will immediately see a collection of available eBooks. Some are free to download, while others are available for purchase.
  • You can easily filter your search by selecting Free or Paid options, or by browsing through different categories to find content that best suits your needs.

17. My Jobs

The next section is My Jobs.

Afri54 provides a platform for business owners to connect with professional designers to help them create their Digital Business Cards and Afri Stores. Through this feature, you can engage qualified designers to handle your projects.

Once a job has been completed and delivered, it will be displayed in the My Jobs section for your review and reference.

To find and hire designers, please click here.


18. Customer Requests

The next section is Customer Requests.

Afri54 allows visitors on the platform to submit custom requests when they are unable to find a suitable seller or supplier that meets their needs or pricing expectations.

For example, a visitor can fill out a custom request form under a specific category and market, clearly stating the product or service they require.

Once submitted, the request is automatically forwarded to all businesses listed under the selected category and market. If your business falls within that category, you will receive the request and have the opportunity to respond and secure the order.
