Free to join. Fair, transparent fees.
No monthly fee to learn, teach or promote, and no plan to buy before you can sell a course. Skillsnify only earns when you do — one rate per sale, the same for everyone, covering payment processing and keeping the platform running.
Showing indicative prices in USD. Payments are processed in Naira (NGN) at checkout, so the exact amount may vary slightly with the exchange rate.
What Skillsnify takes per sale
Nigerian cards
4% + ₦50
Card, bank transfer or USSD. The ₦50 is waived under ₦2,500, so a small sale is a flat 4%.
International cards
6% + ₦150
A card issued outside Nigeria costs about three times as much to process, and the gateway charges it uncapped.
No monthly fee either way, and no plan you have to buy before you can sell a course or run a membership. The rate is the same whether you signed up today or have been here a year.

Applies to courses, digital products, e-books, tickets, webinars, coaching and paid communities alike. Fees come out of the seller’s payout, never added on top of the price your buyers see. Free items are always free — no fee, ever.

Affiliates
Affiliates keep 100% of the commission a seller sets — Skillsnify takes nothing from their earnings. A small withdrawal fee (1%, max ₦100, and free over ₦50,000) only covers the bank transfer at payout. If you enable affiliates on your own product, the commission you offer comes out of your share of the sale — never added on top of your buyer’s price.
Verify & get found
Your fee is the same either way — verification is about being believed. A badge buyers recognise, higher placement in search and the marketplace, and monthly AI credits included. Choose monthly, 6-monthly or yearly; longer plans save more.
Priced for Africa, paid to your bank
Buyers everywhere see prices in their own currency automatically. Payments run on Paystack — card, bank transfer, USSD and mobile money — and creators and affiliates withdraw earnings straight to their local bank account. What you see here is exactly what you’re charged; there are no hidden fees.
