In the dynamic landscape of on-demand service apps, efficient payment processing stands as the cornerstone for streamlining operations, ensuring sustainability, and fostering growth. These platforms, exemplified by industry giants like Uber, Netflix, Showmax, Glovo, Spotify and Jumia, have seamlessly woven themselves into the fabric of everyday life, offering unparalleled convenience at the tap of a screen.

Why On-Demand Services Apps Is a Rising Industry

Africa’s digital and on-demand economy is experiencing exponential growth, with staggering figures reflecting this trend. For instance, the food delivery sector alone witnessed a revenue surge from US$9.40B in 2023 to a projected US$16.5B by 2028. This growth is propelled by a demographic wave, with millennials and Gen Z constituting a significant portion of the user base, seeking instant access to services.

The Two Sides of On-Demand Services Apps

At their core, on-demand service apps operate as two-sided marketplaces, connecting time-sensitive customers with service providers. Whether it’s riders versus drivers or delivery partners versus consumers, the ecosystem thrives on real-time transactions and seamless payouts. Users demand swift, secure, and flexible payment options, while providers seek expedited settlements in an ever-evolving gig economy.
