Bifixit National LIVE Trade Fair: Press Kit and Key Facts

Bifixit National LIVE Trade Fair is Nigeria's first national livestream-native trade fair, running Saturday 12 through Sunday 13 December 2026. This is a reference summary of the event's format, dates, fees, and vendor requirements for anyone covering the event, partnering with Bifixit, or briefing a team on the key facts before writing about it.

Event overview

Across the two days, vendors broadcast live at scheduled slots and buyers watch and check out directly inside the stream — no leaving the broadcast to complete a purchase, the same in-stream buying mechanic that made TikTok Shop LIVE popular. The event spans multiple product categories rather than a single vertical, and it runs on Bifixit's own self-hosted livestream infrastructure rather than a third-party video platform. Registration and full event details are at bifixit.com/tradefair.

How the live-selling format works

Each vendor is allocated a scheduled slot across the two-day event. During that slot, the vendor broadcasts genuinely live — looping or pre-recorded video standing in for a live broadcast is not permitted — demonstrating and selling products while buyers watch and purchase without navigating away from the stream. After a vendor's slot ends, the shop and that slot's replay remain live and sellable, so the event functions as a launch moment rather than a one-off sale that disappears when the broadcast stops.

Vendor eligibility and requirements

• Nigerian vendors with a valid CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) business registration number receive priority slot allocation.
• International vendors are welcome to register, though priority placement is reserved for CAC-verified Nigerian businesses.
• Vendors selling food, cosmetics, drugs, or medical devices must hold a valid NAFDAC number.
• Prohibited categories: tobacco, alcohol, weapons, counterfeit goods, prescription drugs, and adult content.
• Streams must be genuinely live at the scheduled slot time — no looping recorded video presented as a live broadcast.

Product categories

The trade fair spans Fashion, Beauty, Electronics, Food & Groceries, Home & Living, and additional categories, giving buyers a reason to browse across multiple scheduled slots rather than a single-category shopping window.

What registered vendors receive

• A scheduled broadcast slot with priority placement for CAC-verified Nigerian vendors.
• Creative promotional materials, including event graphics, countdown assets, and caption templates.
• Automatic cross-posting of each go-live moment to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
• Zero per-minute or per-viewer video platform fees, on Bifixit's self-hosted livestream infrastructure.
• Delivery support and guidance for fulfilling orders.
• Access to buyers from around the world, with Nigerian buyer payments settling directly to the vendor's own verified bank account.
• A shop and slot replay that remain live and sellable after the event ends.

Delivery targets

Same-city orders carry a 24-hour delivery target; international orders are handled within up to 7 days.

About the underlying platform

Outside of the trade fair itself, Bifixit is an ecommerce platform that gives any seller a priced catalog, a shareable shop link, and a real checkout, with money settling directly to their own verified bank account — no coding required. The trade fair is a scheduled, national-scale showcase built on top of that existing infrastructure, not a separate one-off tool.

Background

The event responds directly to a shift already underway in Nigerian online shopping: buyers increasingly discover and evaluate products through short-form video and live broadcast rather than static catalog pages, and expect to complete a purchase in the same place they discovered the product rather than being redirected elsewhere. The trade fair format — scheduled slots, genuine live broadcast, in-stream checkout — is built around that behavior rather than adapting a traditional online storefront to include a video widget.

Quotable summary

"The Bifixit National LIVE Trade Fair puts genuinely live, in-stream buying in front of a national audience across two days, with zero video platform fees for vendors and a shop that keeps selling long after the event ends."
