How Arewa Threads works

Four different jobs, four different journeys. Find yours.

If you are buying

1
Create an account with your email address, and tell us your language and city.
2
Browse tailors and fabric retailers, or search. Filter by price, rating, how fast they work and whether Arewa Express reaches you.
3
For tailoring, save your measurements once — the dummy shows you where to put the tape — then pick the options you want. The price updates as you choose.
4
Pay by card, bank transfer or USSD. Your money is held, not passed straight on.
5
Watch the work happen: seven stages from fabric to finished, each one confirmed by the tailor.
6
Confirm you have your order, which releases the money — or it releases automatically a day after delivery if you forget. If something is wrong, raise a dispute instead and the money stays put.

1
Register as a customer first, then add a tailoring shop. It is the same account, so you can buy as well as sell.
2
Verify who you are with a government ID. We read your age from the record rather than from what you type. You are approved within a day.
3
Choose a subscription, set your own price for each finish you offer, and list your first garment while you wait.
4
Take orders. Each arrives with the customer's confirmed measurements frozen onto it, so you are never cutting to a moving target.
5
Advance the work through the stages, or scan the printed tag on the garment to advance it from your phone. Tell the customer early if a date slips.
6
Get paid into your bank account in the daily batch once the customer confirms. Your wallet shows every order and every naira.

1
Register, add a retail shop, and verify your identity the same way a tailor does.
2
List what you hold — per yard with a minimum cut, or ready-made by the piece — with your own prices and photographs.
3
Put pieces together as a bundle at one price where it makes sense, and run promotions if your tier allows.
4
Fulfil orders, hand them to a rider or offer pickup, and get paid in the same daily batch.

1
Apply as an Arewa Express rider: your details, your vehicle, a government ID and a photograph, then your bank account.
2
You are approved within two days. You can also apply to become a measurement professional — a separate test and a separate decision.
3
Go on duty and accept the deliveries offered to you. You have twelve hours before one is offered elsewhere.
4
Pick up, deliver, mark it delivered. Your share of the fee is credited straight away and paid out with the rest.
