Built for the Nigerian market

Squad is a payment gateway from GTCO for merchants in Nigeria, processing payments in naira. USSD and bank transfer let buyers who do not use cards still pay for a ticket from any phone, which widens who can buy, alongside Verve and international cards.

Pricing and payouts

You connect your own Squad account, so card, bank and USSD payments settle directly to you in naira. Squad sets its processing fees by your agreement, and Evenda adds no platform fee of its own on ticket sales.

Technical notes

Squad initiates the transaction with your secret key and redirects the buyer to the Squad checkout. The result is confirmed on the buyer return and, independently, by a charge_successful webhook whose x-squad-encrypted-body Evenda verifies with HMAC-SHA512 before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.

Connect Squad to Evenda to sell tickets across Nigeria with cards, bank transfer and USSD, and settle to your own account.
