Your free WhatsApp store in Ghana, paid by MTN MoMo and Telecel Cash, with no commission
One link with your catalog and a cart, and complete orders in your WhatsApp. Customers pay the way they already do. Free, with no commission on sales.
Get paid with what your customers already use
WAStore doesn’t process payments or take a percentage. You add your methods in Settings → Payment, and customers see them when they order.
MTN Mobile Money
Choose the “Mobile Money” type, name it MTN MoMo and enter your number or MoMo Pay merchant ID.
Telecel Cash, AT Money
Add another “Mobile Money” method for each network you accept.
Bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your bank, branch and account number; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Pay on delivery
Turn on “Cash on delivery”: nothing to set up, and the customer pays when the order arrives.

Selling on WhatsApp in Ghana
In Ghana most Instagram and WhatsApp sellers get paid by MoMo. WAStore gives you a catalog with prices in cedis and a cart, so each order arrives complete in your WhatsApp and the customer sees your MoMo number at checkout.
Set one delivery fee within Accra and another for other regions, and offer pickup. Fashion, hair, skincare, food and pastries, and phone accessories all sell this way.
Shops in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Ghana
Delivery and couriers
In Accra and Kumasi most sellers use dispatch riders or delivery apps, usually around GH₵20–60 depending on distance. Other regions are reached with bus parcel services (VIP, STC) or Ghana Post EMS, where the customer collects at the station or office.
Registration and tax
A business name is registered online with the Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC). Your Ghana Card number is your tax ID, and small businesses can use the GRA’s simplified tax for low turnover. Food businesses also need approval from the Food and Drugs Authority.
How customers pay
Mobile money is the default: MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money, sent to your number or a MoMo Pay merchant ID. Pay on delivery is common within Accra, and bank transfers are used for larger orders.
What it costs
- Free forever: up to 50 products, unlimited orders and 0% commission.
- Pro: $7.90 a month (or $4.99 a month billed yearly) for your own domain, coupons, sale prices, delivery zones, analytics and more.
- Try Pro free for 7 days, no card needed.
WAStore vs other options in Ghana
Most WhatsApp store tools no longer take a commission. What differs is how many products you get for free, whether orders are capped, and whether customers see your local payment methods (MTN MoMo and Telecel Cash) when they order.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers pay to my MoMo merchant ID?
Yes. Put your MoMo Pay merchant ID (or your number) on the Mobile Money method. Customers see it at checkout and pay from their phone.
Can I charge a different delivery fee within Accra and for other regions?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone within Accra and another for other regions, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Do I need to register my business to sell on WhatsApp?
To sell regularly, registering a business name with the ORC is simple and online. WAStore works the same before and after.
Is WAStore free in Ghana?
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 MTN MoMo and Telecel Cash?
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?
Stripe doesn’t open accounts for sellers in Ghana yet, so built-in card checkout isn’t available. You can add a payment link from a local gateway as a “Payment link” method, and customers pay by card there.
