Discover how a simple act of helping friends avoid scams became a mission to make online shopping safe and credible for everyone.
Zolarux began as a small personal effort to help friends shop safely online. Too many people were getting scammed by fake Instagram and WhatsApp vendors, losing their hard-earned money.
What started as verifying vendors for a few friends quickly grew into a vision — to create a system that protects buyers and helps honest vendors grow.
"Over time, this personal mission evolved into Zolarux — a platform dedicated to building trust in Nigeria's social commerce ecosystem."
Social commerce in Nigeria is booming, but trust remains a major issue. Millions of transactions happen daily across WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook — yet buyers face uncertainty, and small businesses struggle to prove legitimacy.
Thousands of people lose money to fake vendors every week.
Buyers don't know who to trust. Vendors struggle to prove credibility.
