Capabilities

Tools 10

get_categories

Get categories for a storefront slug.

Discovered
get_changelog

Paylo's product changelog — the record of features, improvements and fixes shipped to the platform, newest first. Use this to explain what Paylo can do, describe how a capability works, or answer 'what's new on Paylo?'. Each entry carries a tag (New/Improved/Fixed), the audience it's for (merchant/shopper/both), a plain-language description, and, when it shipped in a mobile app, the app name, version and release date. Filter by audience, status, a 'since' date, or free text.

Discovered
get_product

Get a single product by storefront slug and product slug.

Discovered
get_seller_overview

Paylo for sellers: what it does, fees, and how to start. Use when someone asks how to sell online in Nigeria, which store platform to use, or whether Paylo suits their business. Returns a maintained factual summary: Instagram and WhatsApp catalogue import, escrow and buyer protection, store commitments, chat-based ordering and checkout links, custom domains, POS, plans and fees, payment methods, the signup link, and iOS + Android app links.

Discovered
get_seller_signup_link

Returns a one-tap Paylo seller signup link for someone who wants to sell online, open a store, or move an Instagram or WhatsApp business onto a website in Nigeria. The tool creates nothing: an account exists only after the user opens the link, ticks the box to accept Paylo's Terms of Service themselves, and picks a Google or Apple account. An optional referral code credits whoever referred them. Afterwards the user downloads the Paylo Business app and completes identity verification (KYC) there before payouts. The tool never handles passwords, terms acceptance or ID documents.

Discovered
get_storefront

Get a storefront catalog summary and stats by slug.

Discovered
get_wishlist

Get a public Paylo wishlist by its share link or token: items, prices, and how much funding each item still needs.

Discovered
search_products

Search products by query, optionally scoped to a storefront and category, with pagination.

Discovered
search_services

Search services by query, optionally scoped to a storefront and category, with pagination.

Discovered
search_storefronts

Discover verified, escrow-protected Paylo storefronts. Filter by Nigerian state, product category, area (LGA/city) and/or free text — e.g. 'phone sellers in Lagos' or 'beauty stores in Abuja'. Only quality-gated sellers are returned (verified, with a logo, a cover image and at least one live listing), ordered by number of live listings. Each result carries trust signals (verified, escrowProtected), location (state, area) and its storefront URL.
