Transfer shop ownership

2 min readUpdated August 2026

There is one Owner per shop: the person who created it. The Owner is the only role that can manage billing, invite people and change roles, and for safety the Owner account cannot be removed, deactivated or demoted from inside the dashboard.

That means ownership is not something you can hand over yourself today. If you are selling the shop, splitting with a partner, or the Owner is leaving the business, message us and we will move it for you.

  1. Add the new owner to the team first, as a Manager, so nothing stops while the handover happens.
  2. Message +234 806 550 2284 on WhatsApp or email hello@buvvo.ng from the current Owner’s address.
  3. Tell us the shop name and who the new Owner should be. We confirm with the current Owner before anything changes.
Do this last, after everything else is handed over. Everything else, catalog, chats, orders and the WhatsApp connection, stays exactly as it is.
Still stuck on this?
