—How it works·markets aren't quiet

They're loud, alive, social. We brought all of that into the app.

On Bricks you don't scroll a silent catalogue. You walk into a square that's buzzing — sellers shouting prices on live, buyers posting what they need, deals closing in front of you. Then escrow makes it safe.

01
You post to the Square.

“I want an iPhone 15 Pro.” Sellers see it instantly.

02
Sellers respond & go live.

Offers fly in. Tap a stream and watch them sell.

03
You haggle in real time.

Counter, match, lock — just like the market.

04
Escrow releases on delivery.

Your money is held safe until the goods arrive.

—Features·everything the market has — and more

Six ways to shop like you're really there.

Live Marketplace

TikTok-style streams from real sellers. Watch them show the goods, ask questions, and buy without leaving the live.

Market Run

Hand over a shopping list and Bricks sweeps multiple stalls for the best offers — one rider, one bundle, live ETA.

The Square

A public board where buyers shout what they want and sellers bid to win it. “Chidi wants iPhone 15 Pro · 4 bids.”

Buyers post, sellers compete

Bid Room

A time-boxed room where sellers compete live on price. Watch the gap to ask shrink and lock the deal you want.

Make an Offer

Found it but want a better price? Send an offer, chat the seller, and close the deal — coupons, counters and all.

Haggle on anything
—The Social Inbox·Instagram + WhatsApp, one place

Sell where your customers already are.

Nigerian merchants run their businesses in Instagram DMs and WhatsApp chats. Bricks doesn't fight that — it embraces it. Connect your Instagram professional account and your WhatsApp Business account to Bricks, and manage all your customer chats in one inbox — alongside your Bricks conversations, orders, and payments.

Each merchant sees only the conversations from accounts they connected themselves. How we handle this data is covered in our privacy policy.

Instagram DMs, in Bricks

Connect your Instagram professional account and your Instagram customer messages appear in your Bricks inbox, via Meta's Instagram Messaging API.

WhatsApp chats, in Bricks

Connect your WhatsApp Business account and customer conversations flow into the same inbox, via Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API.

Chat becomes commerce

Reply from one place, share listings, and turn a DM into an escrow-backed order — without asking your customer to leave the chat.

Your accounts, your data

You see only the accounts you connect yourself. Disconnect any time, and message data is used for nothing except showing you your own conversations.

—Buying·from cold open to delivered

Buying on Bricks, in four moves.

1

Pick your markets

Follow Computer Village, Alaba, Balogun — wherever you shop. Your feed fills with their live sellers.

2

Browse or post a request

Scroll live streams and shops, or drop what you want on the Square and let sellers come to you.

3

Message, counter, join a Bid Room. Bargain in real time exactly like you would in the stall.

4

Pay into escrow, get your bundle by rider, inspect, and release. Disputes have a mediator.

—Trust & safety·the reason it works

Market trust, made digital.

Every Brick is a verified business. Every order is protected. Every dispute has a mediator. The accountability of a physical market — without having to know someone who knows someone.

KYC & NIN

Sellers verify identity in tiers. Buyers see exactly who they're dealing with.

CAC registered

Businesses confirm CAC registration before they can trade at scale.

Escrow on every order

Funds are held until you confirm delivery. Inspect first, release after.

Brick Score

A live reputation score from real orders, disputes and on-time delivery.

Market administration & mediation

Disputes escalate to trained mediators with evidence windows — the digital version of taking it to the market head.
