Selling on WhatsApp in Finland
In Finland MobilePay is the everyday way to pay people, and small sellers (bakers, crafters, second-hand and clothing sellers, caterers) take orders on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in euro and a cart, so orders arrive complete and customers see your MobilePay number at checkout.
On Pro, cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account. Set a delivery fee for your city and another for the rest of Finland, or offer pickup.
Shops in Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Oulu, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Finland
Delivery and couriers
Posti’s parcel lockers and service points are the usual choice, with Matkahuolto and Budbee as alternatives that are often cheaper for small parcels. Many local sellers deliver themselves or offer pickup.
Registration and tax
Most start as a sole trader (toiminimi) by registering through the YTJ service, which gives you a business ID (Y-tunnus); some begin with an invoicing service instead. VAT registration is required once turnover passes €20,000 a year. Food businesses notify their municipality’s food control authority before they start.
How customers pay
MobilePay is used by most Finns, and for sales you set up a MobilePay business agreement rather than using your private number. Online bank payments and cards are common too: on Pro, cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account, and bank transfers work for larger orders.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Finland
Can I take MobilePay payments as a small seller?
Yes. Set up a MobilePay business agreement, choose the “MobilePay” type in WAStore and enter that number; customers see it at checkout and pay in the app.
Do I need a business ID to sell online?
If you sell regularly to make a profit, usually yes: register as a sole trader through YTJ. VAT registration follows once turnover passes €20,000 a year.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your city and for the rest of Finland?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your city and another for the rest of Finland, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Is WAStore free in Finland?
Yes. The free plan doesn’t expire: up to 50 products, unlimited orders and no commission on sales. Pro is optional.
Can I get paid by MobilePay and card?
Yes. You add your payment methods in Settings → Payment and customers see them when they order. The money goes straight to you; WAStore never touches payments.
Does WAStore take a commission?
No, not on the free plan and not on Pro. Everything your customer pays is yours.
Do I need WhatsApp Business?
No. It works with regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, and neither you nor your customers install anything.
Can I accept card payments?
Yes, on Pro: you connect your own Stripe account and customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The money goes to your account, and the order is marked paid automatically.
