Vaendora Payment Gateway

Vaendora Payment Gateway helps Nigerian WooCommerce merchants accept securely verified bank-transfer payments and understand the Gross Profit behind every sale.

Payments are verified automatically, orders update without manual bank-alert checks, and merchants can enter product cost prices to see Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and margins directly inside WooCommerce Analytics.

Profit reporting covers orders processed through Vaendora, giving merchants a clear view of the sales, costs and margins that Vaendora has verified.

Profit Analytics includes orders paid through Vaendora only. Orders processed through other gateways remain in WooCommerce’s normal reports but are excluded from Vaendora’s cost and profit calculations. This makes Gateway Coverage — the share of your sales processed through Vaendora — visible at a glance, giving you a clear incentive to consolidate.

What it is: Vaendora is an AI-powered business system built for Nigerian entrepreneurs who need more structure, clearer control, and smarter support as they sell, manage, and grow.

It gives small and growing businesses a professional place to sell, payment and order records, customer management, shipping support, content and visibility tools, AI-powered customer support, business insights, and money clarity, all in one connected system.

Vaendora is built for Nigerian SMEs that are ambitious but stretched, where the owner is often managing customers, payments, stock, orders, content, and business decisions manually.

Vaendora exists to help Nigerian businesses move from manual hustle to structured growth.
