What Afruniverse is
Afruniverse is a marketplace where clients hire African creatives for projects, buy digital products, and order fixed-price services. Creatives earn through jobs, store sales, and packages — with Paystack handling secure split payments.

How hiring works
Clients post jobs or browse talent, review proposals and profiles, then hire a creative. After payment, both parties collaborate in a dedicated workroom with messaging and delivery tools.

How creatives earn
Creatives can apply to jobs, list digital products in the store, and publish service packages. Each path has its own workflow, but payouts flow through the same Paystack infrastructure.

Where payments happen
Afruniverse uses Paystack split payments for job hires. The platform fee is allocated at checkout, and the creative share settles to a verified bank account — not an in-platform wallet balance.
