Selling on WhatsApp in Libya
In Libya Instagram and Facebook shops close almost every sale on WhatsApp — fashion, perfume, electronics and homemade food. Customers in Tripoli and Benghazi often want cash on delivery the same day; regulars transfer to your bank account. WAStore gives you a catalog in dinars and a complete order with area and phone number.
Set one delivery fee inside Tripoli or Benghazi and another for Misrata or further cities, and offer pickup. Prefer Arabic? There is an Arabic page for Libya.
Shops in Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata and Sebha, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Libya
Delivery and couriers
Tripoli and Benghazi same-day delivery by a local driver is the usual pattern inside the city. Misrata and further cities need a higher fee or a bus/parcel arrangement, and sellers often ask for a transfer before the parcel leaves.
Registration and tax
Commercial registration and a tax number with the relevant Libyan authorities apply for regular trading. Many home sellers start informally and register as they grow; check the current local requirements for your activity.
How customers pay
Cash on delivery closes first orders inside Tripoli and Benghazi. Regulars pay by bank transfer; some sellers also share a local wallet number. Stripe does not open seller accounts in Libya.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Libya
Can I run separate fees for Tripoli and Benghazi?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone per city you serve, each with its own fee, or mark out-of-city orders as “to be confirmed”.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your city and for other cities?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your city and another for other cities, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Can customers pay on pickup?
Yes. Offer free pickup and take cash or a transfer when they collect.
Can I offer cash on delivery only in my city?
Yes. Turn on Cash on delivery and write that it is for Tripoli (or Benghazi) only; ask for a bank transfer before shipping further.
Is WAStore free in Libya?
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 bank transfer 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 Libya 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.
