WAStore doesn’t process payments or take a percentage. You add your methods in Settings → Payment, and customers see them when they order.

Whish Money
Add an “Other” method called Whish with your Whish number or ID: customers see it at checkout and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
OMT or BOB
Add an “Other” method called OMT with your full name and phone number for the transfer: customers see it at checkout and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
USD bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your USD IBAN and account name; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Cash on delivery or pickup
Turn on “Cash on delivery”: nothing to set up, and the customer pays when the order arrives.

Selling on WhatsApp in Lebanon

In Lebanon home bakers, cooks, clothing and beauty sellers run on Instagram and WhatsApp, and most catalogs are priced in US dollars because of the lira. Customers pay with Whish, OMT/BOB or cash on delivery in Beirut. WAStore lets you set USD prices, collect a full order (name, area, phone) and show your Whish details at checkout.

Same-day delivery inside Beirut and Mount Lebanon is normal by scooter or car; to Tripoli, Sidon and the south most sellers ask for Whish before the driver leaves. Prefer Arabic? There is an Arabic page for Lebanon.

Delivery, registration and payments in Lebanon

Delivery and couriers

Inside Beirut and Mount Lebanon, scooter or car messengers do same-day drops; fees vary by neighbourhood (Ashrafieh, Hamra, the southern suburbs…). To Tripoli, Sidon, the south and the Bekaa, sellers use a driver or a small shipper and usually take Whish first because returns are expensive.

Registration and tax

Formal trading is registered with the Ministry of Economy or the municipality depending on the activity, with a tax number once you pass the applicable thresholds. Many home businesses start informally and tidy the paperwork as they grow.

How customers pay

Whish Money is the go-to wallet for small sellers, followed by OMT and BOB for dollar remittances and a USD bank transfer. Cash on delivery is still common for a first Beirut order. Stripe does not open seller accounts in Lebanon.

WAStore vs other options in Lebanon

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Lebanon

Can I take Whish and OMT?

Yes. Add both as separate “Other” methods with your number or full name. Customers pick the one they already use and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.

Should I price in dollars or lira?

Most catalogs are in USD today. Set store currency to USD and say in the payment instructions whether Whish is collected in dollars or in lira at the day’s rate.

Can I charge a different delivery fee in Beirut and for Tripoli, Sidon and the rest of Lebanon?

Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in Beirut and another for Tripoli, Sidon and the rest of Lebanon, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.

Can I price in US dollars?

Yes. Set your store currency to USD. In the payment method description, say whether Whish is collected in dollars or in lira at the day’s rate.

Does Stripe work in Lebanon?

No. Stripe does not open seller accounts in Lebanon. Whish, OMT and cash on delivery cover most orders.

Is WAStore free in Lebanon?

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 Whish, OMT and cash on delivery?

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 Lebanon 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.
