Please note that JumiaPay will never ask for your password or full financial information (like a credit card number) via email, text message or on the phone.


Avoiding Disputes

Filing, receiving, processing and responding to disputes is an annoyance for all parties involved - both the customer and you (the merchant). So it is best for everybody to avoid them as much as possible.

The most common disputes arise around delivery - packages arrive incomplete or damaged, or later then expected by the customer.

In general, you should ensure that: Your refund- and return policies are openly and transparently communicated You properly calculate the estimated date of delivery, factoring in weekends and public holidays This estimated date of delivery is made clear in the order summary before charging the customer, and then again in the order confirmation - both after checkout and especially in the email summary You advise customers at the earliest if you become aware of delays If delivery will happen across several shipments, you ensure that the customers understand this before redirecting them to JumiaPay Items are securely and safely packed and protected during the journey

We strongly recommend using a reliable shipping company that provides tracking information and proof of delivery. Our friends at Jumia Logistics ship millions of items across Africa every month, and would be delighted to deliver yours! Contact them here: https://jumia_form.formstack.com/forms/js_exc

Beyond that, we can also recommend the following: NG- DHL, UPS and FedEx EG- Aramex and FedEx KE- Wells Fargo, FedEx and DHL


Receiving A Dispute

A customer can dispute a payment that they made via JumiaPay to you in different ways, for example by contacting JumiaPay directly or their bank. They may also reach out to you directly.

It is our goal to resolve all disputes as fast as possible, and we will need your help. Typically we will reach out to you via email to ask for supporting documentation, and it is imperative that we receive these documents in a timely manner. Some countries have very strict legal requirements in place when it comes to responding to disputes, which you can find in your Merchant Service Agreement, the following timelines are indicative: Nigeria: 12 hours Egypt: 5 calendar days Kenya: 5 calendar days

If you breach this timeline we will have to accept the dispute in favor of your customer.
