About MarketBlack

MarketBlack is a social commerce platform based in Lagos, Nigeria. It connects three groups: vendors who list products and manage orders, promoters who share those products and earn a commission on every completed sale, and shoppers who buy from verified vendors.

The model, branded Circles, replaces paid advertising with people-driven selling. The platform handles order tracking, vendor verification and transparent payouts, and it states that payouts are typically made within 24 hours. MarketBlack also runs an affiliate programme for promoters. Its website reports more than 2,000 active vendors and over 1,000 completed sales, and it positions itself as a global social commerce engine.
