How Azwari (አዝዋሪ) Works
A transparent commission marketplace connecting verified Ethiopian suppliers with freelance sales agents.
Merchants List Products & Set Commissions (ነጋዴው ዕቃዎችን ያስቀምጣል)
Wholesale merchants and retail store owners list their physical products on Azwari, set the retail unit price, and define an attractive sales commission (fixed ETB or percentage) for freelance sales agents. There are no listing fees or upfront salaries.
Sales Agents Pick & Promote (አዝዋሪው ያስተዋውቃል)
Independent sales agents (አዝዋሪዎች) browse verified listings from Addis Ababa merchants. Agents promote products to their network across Telegram groups, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, or in person, with zero capital or inventory requirements.
The 15-Minute Shelf-Stock Verification (የ15 ደቂቃ የዕቃ ክምችት ማረጋገጫ)
When a buyer expresses interest, the merchant is alerted via Telegram and the web dashboard to physically verify that the item is on the shelf within a 15-minute countdown window. This guarantees that walk-in retail sales do not lead to out-of-stock customer payments.
Direct Payment & Delivery (ክፍያ እና ርክክብ)
Once stock is confirmed, the customer pays the merchant directly via Telebirr or CBE bank transfer. Azwari does not hold customer funds. The merchant packages and dispatches the item for local delivery in Addis Ababa.
Commission Payout to Agent (የኮሚሽን ክፍያ)
Upon verified delivery, the merchant settles the sales agent's earned commission, which is credited to the agent's balance and can be transferred to Telebirr or a bank account.
