How do businesses launch campaigns on Shifts?

Register as a business, complete onboarding, choose a subscription plan, and create demand — campaigns, product catalogs, lead generation, or field work. Shifts matches your demand with verified participants across Ethiopia.

What payment methods are supported?

Marketplace orders support Telebirr, bank transfer, cash on delivery, and other methods shown at checkout. Task earnings are recorded in your Shifts wallet and can be withdrawn according to platform payout rules.

How are tasks verified?

Participants complete checkpoints — photos, GPS check-ins, documents, or reports — and submit compilation proof. Businesses review submissions; once verified, earnings are released to the participant wallet.

Can I sell products without owning inventory?

Yes. Browse the business catalog, list products with your referral link, share on social media, and earn commission on every fulfilled order. Shifts handles attribution and order tracking automatically.

Where does Shifts operate?

Shifts is built for Ethiopia, starting in Addis Ababa and expanding to more cities. Field campaigns, delivery tasks, and marketplace orders connect local businesses with participants nationwide.

How do I contact support?

Email vtechshifts@gmail.com or call +251 947 288 484 (Mon–Fri, 9:00–17:00 EAT). For order issues, use the Track Order page with your TR- tracking number and checkout phone number.

Is Shifts legit? How do I get paid?

Yes. Shifts is operated by VTech Smart Solutions PLC in Addis Ababa. Work is only paid after photo, GPS, QR or document proof is approved. Earnings sit in your Shifts wallet and withdraw in Ethiopian Birr to Telebirr or CBE Birr. Participants never pay a fee to join or to access work.

How much can I earn on Shifts in Ethiopia?

Typical bands: quick tasks and surveys ETB 100–300; commission selling ETB 100–2,000+ per order volume; certified skilled work ETB 500–5,000+; longer campaigns ETB 2,000–10,000+. What you earn depends on the opportunities you take, your city, and how reliably you complete proof.

Who should use Shifts?

Students, youth and anyone with a phone who wants paid tasks or commission selling in Ethiopia; businesses that need leads, sales, field audits, brand activation or last-mile coverage; and agents who want to lead a local team. If you are asking how to earn money in Addis Ababa or hire field agents in Ethiopia, Shifts is built for that.
