How It Works

Simple, Secure, and Transparent

Jobivo connects verified Nigerian professionals — from plumbers to web developers — with the people who need them. Book directly or negotiate a quote, pay securely, and get every update on WhatsApp.

For Customers

Book a Pro in 6 Steps

From search to payment — the whole process is designed to protect you.

01

Search for a Pro

Type what you need — "plumber", "tailor", even "web developer". Smart suggestions match you to the right category, including online services delivered remotely. Filter by location, rating, and verification.

02

Book Directly or Request a Quote

Fixed-price job? Book a date and time straight away. Bigger or custom job? Request a quote — chat with the pro on WhatsApp, agree the scope and price, and they'll send you a formal quote.

03

Pay Securely via Paystack

Pay by card, transfer, or USSD. For material-heavy jobs, pay an agreed deposit upfront so the pro can buy supplies — the balance is only due when the work is done.

04

Get Updates on WhatsApp

Booking confirmed, quote received, job completed, payment sent — every update lands on your WhatsApp in real time, with a link straight to the details.

05

Confirm the Job is Done

The pro marks the job complete; you confirm and settle any balance. If something goes wrong, open a dispute and our team reviews the evidence and mediates fairly.

06

Leave a Review

Rate your experience. Reviews can only come from real completed bookings — so every rating on Jobivo is genuine. Pros rate customers too, so respect goes both ways.

Payments

Payments That Fit the Job

Fixed jobs are paid directly. Bigger jobs work the way Nigeria already works — an agreed deposit upfront so the pro can buy materials, and the balance when the work is done. Every kobo moves through Paystack, never cash in the dark.

Paid securely — pro keeps 100%

Want extra protection? Some pros offer escrow — your payment is held safely and only released to the pro after you confirm the job is done.

Not Just Artisans — Online Services Too

Need a web developer, graphic designer, data analyst, video editor or a virtual assistant? Jobivo covers online services delivered fully remotely — no address needed, the pro works with you over calls, chat and file sharing, and they serve customers nationwide no matter what city they're in.

Common Questions

Is there a fee to use Jobivo?

No booking or transaction fees — for anyone. Customers pay exactly the agreed price, and pros keep 100% of what they charge. Jobivo earns through optional pro subscription plans and featured listings instead.

How do deposits work?

For material-heavy jobs, the pro can request an agreed deposit in their quote (e.g. for tiles or parts). When you accept, the deposit is paid via Paystack and goes to the pro so they can start. The balance is only due after the job is completed — and you can see the full breakdown before accepting.

Can I negotiate a quote?

Yes. When a pro sends a quote you can accept it, request changes (price, timeline, scope) and get a revised quote, or decline with a reason. Many customers also chat with the pro on WhatsApp first to agree details.

What happens if a pro doesn't show up?

Open a dispute from the booking page — our team reviews the evidence and mediates. On escrow-protected bookings your money is still held safely and can be refunded; either way, no-shows damage a pro's rating and standing on the platform.

Why should I verify my identity as a customer?

Verified customers get accepted faster — pros trust bookings backed by a verified phone number or NIN. Some pros only accept verified customers. Verification takes about a minute in Settings, and your NIN is never shown to anyone.

Do online services work differently?

Slightly — there's no service address, since the pro works with you remotely via calls, chat and file sharing. Online pros serve customers anywhere in Nigeria, regardless of city.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes. You can cancel a pending or accepted booking before the job starts. Cancellation policies vary — check the details on your booking page.

What payment methods are accepted?

All Nigerian debit/credit cards, bank transfers, and USSD payments via Paystack.
