Frequently asked questions
Are service providers vetted?
Providers can complete identity verification (NIN or BVN via Torra's KYC partner) to earn a verified badge. Reviews from past customers add a second layer of trust. Always do your own due diligence before hiring.
Does Torra take a commission on jobs?
No. Providers subscribe to a plan to be listed; payment for the work itself is agreed directly between you and the provider.
Can a provider also sell products?
Yes. One Torra account can hold multiple seller roles — add the marketplace path through seller onboarding at any time.
