Selling on WhatsApp in Ireland
In Ireland plenty of small businesses (home bakers, candle and craft makers, boutiques, florists and resellers) take orders over Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, then chase payment in DMs. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in euro and a cart, so every order arrives complete, with no commission and no monthly fee to start.
Most of your customers already have Revolut, so add your Revtag and they pay in seconds; bank transfer by IBAN covers everyone else, and on Pro cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account. Set one delivery fee, a fee for your town and another for the rest of the country, or click and collect.
Shops in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Ireland
Delivery and couriers
An Post delivers to every address in the country, with DPD and GLS as the usual courier alternatives and parcel lockers for collection. Many local sellers deliver themselves around their town or offer click and collect, and an Eircode in the address saves the driver a phone call.
Registration and tax
Most start as a sole trader: register for income tax with Revenue through myAccount or ROS and file a Form 11 each year. If you trade under a name other than your own, register the business name with the CRO. VAT registration only becomes compulsory once turnover passes the threshold for goods (€42,500 a year). Home food businesses register with the HSE Environmental Health Service before they start.
How customers pay
Revolut is everywhere in Ireland, so many customers pay small sellers from the app in seconds. Bank transfers by IBAN are instant with most banks, cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account on Pro, and cash on collection still works locally.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Ireland
Do I need to register with Revenue to sell online?
If you sell regularly to make a profit, yes: register as a sole trader for income tax and file a return each year. Selling your own unwanted things now and then isn’t trading.
Can I sell homemade cakes from my WhatsApp store?
Yes, once your food business is registered with the HSE Environmental Health Service and you follow food safety rules. Registration is free, and they may inspect your kitchen.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your town and for the rest of Ireland?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your town and another for the rest of Ireland, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Is WAStore free in Ireland?
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 Revolut 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.
