B2B Escrow Marketplace for African Diaspora

Next.js Node.js PostgreSQL Stripe Connect Flutterwave API
Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

African diaspora buyers procuring goods and services in their home countries face high counterparty risk and potential fraud, as conventional money transfers provide no milestone-based escrow protection or cross-border vendor accountability.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Build a multi-vendor marketplace platform featuring an integrated escrow engine that pairs Stripe Connect for international card payments with regional gateways like Flutterwave or Paystack, releasing disbursements to local mobile money accounts only after verified milestone delivery.
