Top 10 Online Shopping Sites in Nigeria (2026 Guide)

The best online shopping sites in Nigeria depend on what you want to buy: general marketplaces such as Jumia and Konga cover most everyday needs, while specialist stores like Slot and Kara focus on electronics. This guide lists ten places to shop online, says plainly what each one is known for based on the sources we checked, and finishes with simple rules for safe online shopping in Nigeria. Comilmart is on the list too, and because we run it, we say so below.

We have not ranked these sites from best to worst. We did not test delivery times, prices or customer service for each one, so we describe what each store sells and leave the comparison to you.

Top online stores in Nigeria: the main marketplaces

1. Jumia

Jumia is an online marketplace Nigeria shoppers know well: a large African e-commerce company that sells electronics, fashion, groceries and more. Its published results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 reported that gross merchandise value in Nigeria grew 36% year on year and orders in Nigeria grew 34%, and that international sellers, including sellers from China, are a growing part of its mix. Techpoint's guide also notes pay-on-delivery options and the JumiaPay wallet. Always confirm current payment options at checkout.

2. Konga

Konga began in 2012 as an online marketplace and now describes a range from electronics to everyday essentials, with its own payment service, KongaPay, and a loyalty programme. It is often named alongside Jumia, and readers looking for Jumia Konga alternatives will usually want to compare both before looking elsewhere.

3. Jiji

Jiji is a classifieds marketplace for new and second-hand goods, from phones and cars to property. Because buyers and sellers deal directly and can negotiate, it works differently from a store: you meet or arrange delivery with the seller yourself, so inspection and payment caution matter more.

Specialist stores for electronics and gadgets

4. Slot

Slot is known for phones, computers and other devices, and its stated offering includes after-sales support and warranties. If you are comparing handsets, our guide on how to spot original phones from fakes in Nigeria is worth reading first.

5. Kara

Kara sells electronics, mobile phones and home appliances, and lets shoppers order through its app, website and WhatsApp. Techpoint notes that prices should be confirmed with the store because of inflation-driven changes, which is good advice for any electronics retailer.

6. Oraimo Store

Oraimo is a brand of tech accessories such as power banks, headphones and smartwatches, and its store also lists some small household appliances. According to Techpoint, it offered cash on delivery as its payment option, so check the store for current terms.

International and wider-range options

7. Temu

BusinessDay reported in late 2024 that Temu was selling to Nigerian shoppers, with delivery quoted at 7 to 15 days and payment by naira debit cards or bank transfer, although the company had made no formal announcement at that time. Because cross-border shipping, duties and delivery windows change, read the checkout page carefully.

8. AliExpress

AliExpress is a global marketplace that Nigerians commonly use for low-cost items from Chinese sellers. Cross-border purchases usually involve a virtual dollar card or shipping through a forwarding company, plus possible customs charges. Read our overview of cross-border e-commerce in Africa if you plan to buy this way.

9. 9th Marketplace

Techpoint describes 9th Marketplace as a multi-part platform covering consumer retail, wholesale sourcing from overseas manufacturers, services and more, with a verified-merchant system. We have not tested it ourselves, so check its seller verification before ordering.

10. Comilmart

Comilmart is a marketplace that connects buyers with verified sellers across Africa, with categories from phones to building materials. Full disclosure: Comilmart is run by the same team that publishes this guide. You can browse Comilmart listings and read the buyer protection page to see how it works before deciding.

Where to shop online Nigeria: how to choose

When you decide where to shop online in Nigeria, ask four questions:

• Who is the seller? A store that sells its own stock is different from a marketplace full of independent sellers.
• What are the return rules? Read them before you pay, not after a problem.
• What payment choices are there? Pay-on-delivery and card payments handled by the platform give you more protection than a transfer to a stranger.
• What do others say? Search the seller or product name for recent reviews from real buyers.

Good products to start with are items with clear specs you can compare, such as a laptop, because you can match the exact model across sellers.

Safe online shopping Nigeria: seven habits

• Use the platform's own checkout. Be wary of sellers who ask you to move to WhatsApp and pay by transfer.
• Compare the price across at least two sellers; a price far below the rest of the market is a warning sign.
• Check the product photos, the exact model number and the seller's recent activity.
• Keep screenshots of the listing, chat and payment.
• Inspect the item before you accept it, and test electronics on the spot if the delivery arrangement allows.
• Never share your card PIN, OTP or bank password with anyone, including people claiming to be support staff.
• Read Comilmart's scam alert page for common tricks, whichever site you shop on.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the best online shopping site in Nigeria? There is no single best site. Jumia and Konga are the most widely known general stores, Slot and Kara lean towards electronics, and Jiji suits second-hand deals. Pick based on what you are buying.

Is it safe to pay before delivery? It depends on the platform and seller. Prefer checkouts handled by the platform and avoid paying a stranger by direct transfer.

Are there Jumia Konga alternatives? Yes. Jiji, Slot, Kara, Comilmart and others in this list each serve a slightly different need, and international sites such as AliExpress cover cross-border shopping.
