For you to be eligible for an OPay POS in Nigeria, you need to first become an agent. To become an OPay agent, you have to download the app from the Google Play or Apple App Store and sign up as an agent. Doing this will make you eligible for the OPay POS machine which you can use to generate an extra income in your locality.
After signing up on the app to be an agent, you must master the app interface and know how to perform basic transactions on it. You also need to have performed a considerable number of transactions using the app after which you can now proceed to get the POS.
