DepMi (meaning "Buy Here" in Ibibio) is a social commerce platform built for African entrepreneurs — where buyers post what they need, sellers compete to fulfil it, and every transaction builds trust.
Africa's commerce happens through trust networks — WhatsApp groups, Instagram DMs, and market stalls built on reputation. DepMi digitalises that trust at scale. We bridge the gap between social discovery (Instagram, Facebook) and structured commerce (Shopify, Jumia) so that every small business owner can sell like a brand and every buyer can shop with confidence.
Most marketplaces are built around supply. DepMi is built around demand. Buyers post what they want, their budget, and their location. Verified sellers bid to fulfil the request. The result: zero friction for buyers, guaranteed high-intent leads for sellers.
Every completed transaction earns Deps — a credibility score visible on every profile and store. Deps can't be bought, gamed, or faked. They're earned through real commerce. The more you sell, the more you're trusted. The more you buy, the more sellers want to work with you.

Every order on DepMi is protected by escrow. Buyers pay, funds are held securely, and the seller only receives payment after the buyer confirms delivery. No more lost money, no more ghosted sellers.
Based in Nigeria. Built for the continent. We support Naira payments via Flutterwave, local bank payouts, and a mobile-first experience designed for everyday Nigerian internet speeds and devices.
