How Abiaconnect Store works
Clear steps for buyers and sellers — no physical shop required to start selling. Held payments. A delivery code for every shop. Automatic payout after a successful confirmation. This is what a safe transaction looks like, versus a risky one arranged on WhatsApp or social media.

How payment protection works
Payment is collected online. Abiaconnect holds the funds for that order.
The seller hands the package to a courier, park or logistics company agreed by both sides — never an unknown rider. The funds remain held.
The buyer inspects the goods, then confirms or releases that shop code. If no dispute is open, we transfer the seller payout to the bank account saved for that shop.
About the platform fee. The platform fee pays for Abiaconnect's payment protection and the cost of processing your payment. We hold the buyer's money safely, release it to the seller when the order is complete, and step in if something goes wrong. Buyer and seller each pay half. If the seller doesn't deliver what was ordered, the buyer gets back everything they paid Abiaconnect, fee included, and the seller pays the whole fee. If the buyer cancels because of a change of mind, the item price is returned, but the buyer's half of the fee isn't, because the payment costs have already been paid. We decide every complaint on proof from both sides, so an honest seller still gets paid.
Who pays what
The order goes well
Buyer: Pays their half of the fee at checkout.
Seller: Gets paid for the goods, minus their half of the fee.
The buyer changes their mind and cancels before the order ships
Buyer: Gets the item price back. Their half of the fee isn't returned.
Seller: Pays nothing, and has nothing to send.
The shop misses its send-by date of 3 working days, and the buyer cancels
Buyer: Gets back everything they paid Abiaconnect, fee included.
Seller: Is charged the whole fee, taken from their next payout.
The item never comes, or is wrong or fake, and the case is decided for the buyer
Buyer: Gets back everything they paid Abiaconnect, fee included.
Seller: Isn't paid for the order, and is charged the whole fee from their next payout.
The buyer complains, but the proof shows the seller did nothing wrong
Buyer: Gets no refund, and their half of the fee stays paid.
Seller: Gets paid as normal, minus their half of the fee.
The problem was neither side's fault, such as a payment error
Buyer: Gets back everything they paid Abiaconnect, fee included.
Seller: Pays nothing.
Report a problem before you confirm the order or give out your 6-digit code. Once the seller has been paid, we can't always get the money back.
Check with the shop before you pay. Message the shop here or on WhatsApp to confirm the item is in stock and can be sent right away. Then pay on Abiaconnect, because paying any other way removes your protection.
Delivery and the courier's fee. Abiaconnect does not courier packages itself. The seller hands your order to a reputable courier, park or logistics company — one both sides can trust — and drops it at an agreed pickup point. You do not pay the seller for delivery. You pay the courier or park's delivery fee directly, in person, once your package has actually arrived at your location. Never send a delivery fee to the seller in advance, and never accept a delivery arranged through an unknown rider or an informal transport arrangement outside a recognized logistics company — that is exactly the kind of arrangement that leaves both sides unprotected if a package is delayed, damaged or never shows up.
The 7-day window. Once a seller marks an order shipped, the buyer has 7 days to confirm the goods or hand over the delivery code — this is tracked automatically on every order. Sellers: you have 3 working days after payment is confirmed to send each order and mark it shipped, so hand the package to your courier as soon as you can pack it. Buyers: inspect and confirm as soon as the package actually reaches you — don't wait. If you spot a problem, open a dispute before you confirm or share the code, not after. If 7 days pass with no action and no open dispute, Abiaconnect automatically confirms the order on your behalf and releases the seller's payout, so a delayed response can mean you lose the chance to flag an issue.
Disputes. If a dispute is opened, Abiaconnect may review the conversation between the buyer and the seller about that order.
Leave a review. Once you've confirmed an order, take a moment to rate the seller and the product. Your review helps other buyers shop with confidence and rewards sellers who consistently deliver good service — it's a small step that keeps this whole marketplace trustworthy for everyone.
Outside the platform. Abiaconnect Store is not responsible for any transaction, payment or delivery arranged or completed outside the platform. Payment protection, held payments and dispute resolution apply only to orders paid for through Abiaconnect. You're welcome to message a shop on WhatsApp or call to check an item before you buy, but paying by direct bank transfer or agreeing a deal outside Abiaconnect removes every one of these protections: there is no held payment, no delivery code and no team to step in if the goods never arrive or the seller never gets paid. Keep all payments and order conversations on Abiaconnect.
