Module deep-dives
- How mentorship works on AgroYieldThe full lifecycle of an AgroYield mentorship — from sending a request to leaving a review and earning XP.
- Understanding the Grants trackerWhere the listings come from, how the deadline tracking works, and how the For-You personalization picks what to show you.
- Business verification (CAC documents)How to upload your CAC incorporation documents to earn the verified badge on AgroYield Network. Walks through the three required documents, the upload flow on your business setup page, what admins look for, and what happens when all three are approved.
- How marketplace orders workListing → buyer pays into escrow → seller ships → buyer confirms → funds release. The full marketplace flow for sellers and buyers, including the platform fee, dispute handling, what happens if a buyer never confirms, and the optional release-delay window for new platforms.
- Delivery and pickup on the MarketplaceHow sellers declare delivery + pickup terms upfront, how buyers pick a mode at checkout, and how the seller-quoted delivery fee flow works (request → quote → accept/decline → pay).
- Marketplace fees and payoutsHow AgroYield Network's platform fee works — sellers receive their full listing price, buyers see a small fee added at checkout. What you pay, what you keep, when payouts settle, how refunds factor the fee.
- Rating buyers and sellers on the MarketplaceOnce an order completes, both buyer and seller can rate each other 1-5 stars and optionally leave a written review. Ratings show up on profiles and on listing cards.
- Business settings — the hub for your business configurationThe /business/settings page bundles every business-level configuration you can change — business profile, security (PIN threshold, velocity cap, MFA), and lender data sharing. Use this as your single landing page when you need to change how your business behaves.
- Business wallet — top-ups, balances, and payoutsHow your business wallet works on AgroYield Network — top up via your dedicated Monnify account, see your balance + ledger, and disburse payouts (payroll, supplier, refund) without depending on the platform float.
- Payout security — PIN, OTP, MFA, velocity limits, and wallet freezeHow AgroYield Network protects your business wallet against unauthorised payouts — the PIN gate, email/SMS OTP fallback, MFA step-up, per-business thresholds, velocity limits, first-batch cooldown, and the one-click wallet-freeze link.
- Opening balances — start from where you really areFor businesses that existed before joining AgroYield. Capture your starting position (stock, customers who owe you, cash, suppliers, fixed assets) on Jan 1 so reports + customer statements reflect reality from day one.
- Bank accounts — capture your full cash positionMost Nigerian SMBs hold cash across multiple banks (GTBank operating, Zenith savings, UBA fixed deposit, AgroYield Monnify wallet, petty cash). Capture every account so the Balance Sheet shows your true cash position, not just the Monnify slice.
- Vendors — your supplier book (mirror of customers)Capture suppliers, service providers, utilities, landlords. Every expense or asset purchase can attribute to a vendor so you get per-vendor statements + spend history. Mirror of the customers module on the AP side.
- Your AgroScore explainedAgroYield's 0–1000 credit signal computed from five business behaviours. How it's calculated, what each band means, and the specific actions that move it.
- Product barcodes — generate + print scannable labels (Growth)Generate a barcode for any product and print labels at standard sizes. Use them on warehouse shelves, retail counters, market-stall bins, stock-take clipboards. Growth-tier feature.
- People — managing employees and platform collaboratorsHow the People hub unifies your employees (HR, payroll, leave) with your platform collaborators (accountants, staff with login access). What goes where, and why.
- Organisations — posting on behalf of your institutionHow organisations work on AgroYield — the new first-class object for cooperatives, associations, NGOs, government agencies, universities, and agri-companies. Switching context, posting attribution, the verification gate, and how to register an organisation.
- Running payroll and managing leaveHow monthly payroll generation, mark-paid, Excel export, leave requests, and balances work in the HR module — plus the bank-account verification gate that protects every staff disburse.

- Sharing your AgroScore with lender partnersHow partner data sharing works, what gets shared, what doesn't, and how to grant or revoke consent at any time.
- Making and managing marketplace offersHow to negotiate prices on negotiable marketplace listings — submit offers, counter, accept, decline, withdraw. Covers per-unit pricing on multi-unit listings, quantity in offers and counters, timing rules, payment after acceptance, and what happens when a listing closes.
- Multi-unit listings — sell or buy commodities by quantityHow quantity-aware marketplace listings work — set total stock + units when listing, buyers pick how many they want, listing only closes when fully sold. Built for grain, feed, seedlings, inputs, and other commodity sellers who serve multiple buyers per listing.
- Editing your community postsHow to edit a community post you've already published — when you can edit, when you can't, what shows to other members, and how the edit history works.
