Can anyone become a seller?
Can anyone become a seller — quick answer with steps and helpful context for Javern users.
Updated 31 July 2026
Overview
Yes — anyone can open a store on Javern. You don't need to be a registered business to sign up, but you'll need a valid Nigerian bank account and BVN to receive payouts.
What you'll need
- The Javern Vendor app — selling is app-only for now, not available on the main Javern website or main shopping app.
- A working email and phone number.
- A store name and basic business details.
- Products you can fulfil and deliver yourself.
- A Nigerian bank account and BVN, to activate your vendor wallet and receive payouts. See How do I verify my BVN?.
What you don't need
- A registered business or CAC number to start listing.
- A physical shop — many stores on Javern operate from home.
