SIDE INCOME (NIGERIA-FOCUSED) · SENDCHAMP / META CLOUD API
₦80,000 - ₦250,000 setup fee per SME client
Build automated WhatsApp customer onboarding, catalog browsing, and instant payment confirmation bots for Nigerian merchants using Sendchamp's pay-as-you-go API.
Nigerian small and medium businesses (boutiques, food vendors, cosmetics sellers, and private tutors) conduct over 80% of their customer sales through WhatsApp chats. However, manual response delays lead to high cart abandonment. By utilizing Meta's official WhatsApp Business Cloud API through regional aggregators like Sendchamp, developers can build automated bots that display product catalogs, answer frequent inquiries, and verify bank transfer receipts.
Meta provides every WhatsApp Business Account with 1,000 free service (user-initiated) conversations per calendar month. Sendchamp provides developer-friendly REST APIs with webhook support, allowing you to connect a lightweight backend (in Java Spring Boot or Node.js) to automate order workflows without incurring message fees for typical SME volumes.
A developer can package this as a turnkey service: charge a setup fee of ₦80,000 to ₦150,000 for configuration, menu design, and payment integration, plus an optional monthly maintenance retainer of ₦15,000 to ₦25,000.
