Selling on WhatsApp in Latvia
In Latvia small sellers (clothing, handmade goods, cosmetics, cakes and catering) take orders on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, and most online orders go to a parcel machine. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in euro and a cart, so orders arrive complete and you pay no commission.
Add your IBAN for bank transfers and your Revtag for Revolut users, and on Pro take cards and Apple Pay through your own Stripe account. Set one price for parcel-machine delivery and another for courier delivery in Riga, or offer pickup.
Shops in Riga, Daugavpils, Liepāja and Jelgava, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Latvia
Delivery and couriers
Parcel machines (pakomāti) are the usual way to receive online orders: Omniva, DPD, SmartPosti and Latvijas Pasts cover the country, and a small parcel to a machine costs a few euros. In Riga many sellers also deliver themselves.
Registration and tax
Most start by registering economic activity (saimnieciskā darbība) with the State Revenue Service (VID) as a self-employed person, or set up a company (SIA) in the Enterprise Register. VAT registration is needed once turnover passes the threshold; VID can confirm the current figure.
How customers pay
Bank transfers straight from Swedbank, SEB or Citadele apps are the most common way to pay small sellers, and cards are used everywhere. Revolut is popular too. On Pro, cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Latvia
How do I deliver to parcel machines?
Set one delivery fee for parcel-machine delivery and ask customers to write their preferred machine (Omniva, DPD or SmartPosti) in the address field. You then book the parcel in the courier’s app or self-service.
Can customers pay by card?
Yes, on Pro: connect your own Stripe account and customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at checkout; the order is marked paid automatically.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in Riga and for the rest of Latvia?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in Riga and another for the rest of Latvia, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
