Your free WhatsApp store in Hungary, paid by instant transfer and card, 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.
Instant bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your name, account number and, if you have one, the phone or email alias linked to it; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay (Stripe)
On Pro you connect your own Stripe account: customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the order is marked paid automatically.
Cash on delivery (utánvét)
Turn on “Cash on delivery”: nothing to set up, and the customer pays when the order arrives.
Revolut
Choose the “Revolut” type and enter your Revtag: customers with Revolut pay in seconds and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.

Selling on WhatsApp in Hungary
In Hungary small sellers (clothing, cosmetics, handmade gifts, cakes and homemade food) take orders on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, and more and more on WhatsApp. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in forints and a cart, so orders arrive complete with name, address and items, and you pay no commission.
Hungarian bank transfers land within seconds, even to a phone number or email alias, so customers can pay right after ordering; cash on delivery covers the rest, and on Pro cards come through your own Stripe account.
Shops in Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged and Pécs, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Hungary
Delivery and couriers
Magyar Posta (MPL), GLS, DPD, Express One and Packeta cover the country, and Foxpost and Packeta lockers are a cheap option for small parcels. Couriers collect cash on delivery (utánvét) for a fee.
Registration and tax
Most start as a sole trader (egyéni vállalkozó), registered online through the government portal, and choose a tax regime with an accountant. Small businesses under the annual turnover limit can stay VAT-exempt (alanyi adómentesség). Sellers also notify the local notary (jegyző) of their trading activity, and food sellers follow Nébih rules.
How customers pay
Bank transfers land within seconds in Hungary, and customers can pay to a phone number or email alias instead of a long account number. Cash on delivery is still common for first orders, Revolut is popular with younger buyers, and cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account on Pro.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Hungary
Can customers pay by instant transfer to my phone number?
Yes, if you have linked a phone number or email alias (másodlagos azonosító) to your account. Add “Bank transfer” with that alias and your account number; transfers arrive within seconds.
Can I offer cash on delivery (utánvét)?
Yes. Turn on Cash on delivery; your courier collects the money and transfers it to you. Mention any fee in the instructions so customers see it at checkout.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your city and for the rest of Hungary?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your city and another for the rest of Hungary, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Is WAStore free in Hungary?
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 instant transfer 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.
