**With Paystack, run your business wherever you are** Paystack powers payments for businesses across Africa. The Paystack Merchant App puts everything you need to run your business in your pocket, from taking payments in person to tracking sales and resolving chargebacks. **Take payments in person** Enter an amount and accept payment by card, bank transfer, or mobile money. The app automatically applies the right minimum payment amount and formatting for each currency. Every payment appears in your Paystack Dashboard, ready for reconciliation. **Stay on top of your business** See today’s revenue, pending payouts, payment requests, and open disputes as soon as you open the app. You can also find transactions faster by filtering them by status, payment channel, or date. Need to issue a refund? Choose a full, half, or quarter refund directly from the transaction. **Create payment requests in seconds** Create, send, track, mark as paid, or cancel payment requests from the app. Select a customer from your saved customer list instead of entering their details again, then share the payment link through WhatsApp, SMS, or email. **Manage disputes more easily** Chargebacks and fraud claims that need your attention appear in a dedicated “Needs response” queue. A live countdown shows exactly how long you have to reply, and overdue disputes are clearly highlighted in red. Upload evidence, add notes, and respond without leaving the app. **Switch between businesses** Manage more than one Paystack business? Switch between your integrations with a tap, without signing out. The app automatically reloads with the information for the business you select. **Get real-time payment notifications** Receive a notification as soon as a customer pays, so you can confirm the transaction and keep your business moving. **Sign in quickly and securely** Set up a passkey once, then sign in with Face ID or a tap instead of entering your password every time. You can also stay signed in throughout your workday. **Built for Paystack merchants** The app supports merchants in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Côte d’Ivoire, with support for NGN, GHS, KES, ZAR, USD, and XOF. Minimum payment amounts and currency formatting are automatically adjusted for each market. **Completely rebuilt** Paystack 2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up to be faster, lighter, and easier to use. Every screen has been redesigned as part of a more consistent experience, using Apple’s iOS 26 Liquid Glass materials. And we’re just getting started. Have feedback or ideas for what we should build next? Go to **Account → Help**. Paystack Payments Limited is a licensed and regulated payments processor.

LawyerGo is a global collaboration network for verified lawyers and law firms. Delegate legal tasks to trusted colleagues in another city, country or practice area — or take on work that matches your jurisdiction and expertise. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Post a task: court hearing representation, local counsel, document service, advisory work or cross-border support — with jurisdiction, practice area, dates and fee information. • Discover open tasks and apply or bid as a verified lawyer. • Assign tasks directly to a colleague you trust, or review applications and choose. • Chat securely with the other side of the task — conversation stays linked to the matter. • Publish your availability so colleagues can find you for the right jurisdiction and dates. • Manage your law firm: invite members, verify your organization, run firm tasks together. BUILT ON VERIFICATION Every lawyer on LawyerGo goes through a verification process based on bar registry status in their jurisdiction. Law firms are verified separately with business registration and registry checks. Verified profiles carry a clear badge, so you always know who you are working with. FREE AND COMMISSION-FREE LawyerGo charges no fees and takes no commission. Fee fields on tasks are informational only — payment arrangements are made directly between lawyers, outside the platform. GLOBAL BY DESIGN Tasks and profiles are organized by country, region and bar association. Whether you need local counsel in another country or want to receive cross-border work in your own, LawyerGo connects you with verified colleagues worldwide. WHO IT IS FOR • Lawyers who need a trusted colleague in another city or country. • Lawyers who want to receive hearing representation and local counsel work. • Law firms coordinating cross-border matters and external counsel. IMPORTANT LawyerGo is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. No attorney–client relationship is formed through the platform. LawyerGo verifies bar registry status only — not legal competence or case outcomes. The platform does not handle payments and does not endorse any lawyer. Professional responsibility, jurisdiction and scope of work remain with the lawyers involved. A LawyerGo account is intended for licensed lawyers and law firm staff. Sign-up uses phone verification; full access to tasks and messaging requires lawyer verification. Questions or feedback? Reach us at https://lawyergo.app/contact
