Meet Nigeria's First Ever Payment Apron - The Transactpay Payment Apron

Hands-Free. Battery-Free digital payments. Powered by Simplicity.

In the streets of Lagos, in the markets of Enugu, in the corners of Kaduna and Warri, one thing is constant: trade never stops.

Every day, small business owners — hawkers, market women, food vendors, roadside artisans — wake up and do what they’ve always done: hustle. Sell. Serve. Grow.

But as the world races ahead with tech solutions for the future, we’ve often left these real-world traders behind.

Until now.

A Simple Question Sparked a Big Idea

What if you could receive digital payments…
Without a POS?
Without a mobile phone?
Without needing electricity?

That question led us to create something the industry has never seen before.

Introducing the Transactpay Payment Apron —
A first-of-its-kind solution built for the real Nigerian market.

This isn’t an app.
It’s not a new device.
It’s not a “lite” version of something foreign.

This is a tool made by Nigerians, for Nigerian merchants.
A physical apron worn by the seller but smarter and with access to international digital payments.

Right on the fabric:
✅ Their bank account number
✅ Their Transactpay QR code
✅ A card payment code that works with any NFC-enabled phone
✅ No batteries. No setup. Just pure, accessible utility.

It turns aprons into storefronts.
Turns corners into checkout counters.
And turns every merchant into a digitized business with zero friction.

Why the Transactpay Payment Apron Matters

Most digital payment tools today are built with assumptions:
That the seller has a smartphone.
That the seller can charge their device.
That they can afford to buy a POS terminal.
That they even want all that hassle.
The buyer is local so has easy access to local payment tools.

But for millions of small traders, those assumptions don’t hold.

And the result? Cash still rules even when customers prefer to go digital.

The Transactpay Payment Apron changes that.

It removes the last barrier to accepting digital payments by removing everything else. No screen. No app. No stress.

If you can wear an apron, you can receive a transfer.
Scan a QR code.
Even take a card payment.

And because it’s powered by the Transactpay ecosystem, merchants still get all the benefits:
✅ Instant transaction alerts
✅ Dashboard view of all payments
✅ Easy reconciliation
✅ Access to tools like invoices, stores, and much more

The Transactpay Payment Apron is Not Just an Apron. It’s a Statement.

The Payment Apron says to the world:
“I run a business. I deserve dignity. I’m ready for growth.”

It allows a woman selling roasted plantain by the roadside to look a corporate customer or an foreign tourist in the eye and say,
“You can pay me however you like — card, transfer, QR. I’m ready.”

It gives the corner-shop barber the confidence to accept payment from anyone, anywhere without fumbling or apologizing.

It levels the playing field.

And in doing so, it moves us closer to a Nigeria where trade is easier, more inclusive, and more visible.
