Afrikoni pricing
Afrikoni has no subscription fee and no listing fee. Buyers see a single all-in price that includes the supplier's product price, escrow protection, and KYC verification. Suppliers pay a transparent commission only on completed trades — never on listings, quotes, or matched conversations.
How does Afrikoni make money?
A transparent commission is built into the platform price the buyer sees, deducted from supplier payout on completed trades. The exact percentage depends on category, corridor, and whether logistics + customs are bundled.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The price the buyer sees in the quote is the price the buyer pays. FX conversion uses transparent mid-market rates. Escrow, dispute resolution, and KYC are bundled — never charged separately.
What about logistics and customs?
On end-to-end DDP trades, the freight + customs cost is itemized in the quote. Buyers always see the all-in landed cost before paying.
