Quick answer: GeraLens is a camera-first commerce API. Point a camera at a product; GeraLens returns structured product data including Nigerian regulator context — NAFDAC numbers for food/cosmetics/drugs, SONCAP marks for regulated electronics, and price-checks against GeraMarket and other Nigerian retailers. Pricing in naira via useCountry(); pay via Paystack, Flutterwave, Opay or bank transfer.

Why Nigerian retailers and buyers need camera commerce

Counterfeit and sub-standard goods are a persistent problem in Nigerian retail — NAFDAC runs regular enforcement campaigns on fake drugs and cosmetics, and SON on fake electronics. A phone-camera quick-check on a product's NAFDAC number or SONCAP mark is a genuine consumer benefit.

Regulation

NAFDAC number lookups run against the NAFDAC Green Book API (where available) and our own indexed database. SONCAP marks are verified against SON's published registry. NDPA applies to any user image containing personal data — we strip faces and plates before any cloud processing.

Pricing in naira

Free tier (1,000 image lookups/month). Retail ₦15,000/month (50,000 lookups). Enterprise custom. Prices via useCountry().

Payments

Paystack, Flutterwave, Opay, Palmpay, Visa/Mastercard/Verve, NIBSS bank transfer.

Cities

Early adopters in Lagos (retail piloted in Ikeja, Lekki, VI), Abuja and Port Harcourt.

How we compare

Google Lens, Amazon Shopping and Pinterest Lens are the global plays. Our Nigerian-regulator awareness (NAFDAC/SON lookups) and naira-native price comparison is the wedge.
