Bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your name and IBAN; customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.

Selling on WhatsApp in Malta
In Malta and Gozo small businesses (cake makers, boutiques, jewellery and gift sellers, caterers) take orders on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and most deliver themselves across the island. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in euro and a cart, so orders arrive complete and you pay no commission.
Customers pay you by Revolut or bank transfer, cash on delivery, or by card on Pro through your own Stripe account. Set one delivery fee for Malta and another for Gozo, or offer pickup.
Shops in Valletta, Sliema, Birkirkara and Gozo, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Malta
Delivery and couriers
Distances are short, so most small sellers deliver themselves or use a local courier for same- or next-day delivery. MaltaPost covers every address and runs parcel lockers, and deliveries to Gozo usually cost a little more because of the ferry.
Registration and tax
You register as self-employed with Jobsplus and the Malta Tax and Customs Administration, which gives you a VAT number. Small businesses with turnover under the limit usually register under the Article 11 VAT exemption, charge no VAT and file a simple annual declaration.
How customers pay
Revolut is hugely popular in Malta, and bank transfers are common for paying ahead. Cash on delivery is still widely used for local orders, and cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account on Pro.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Malta
Do I need a VAT number to sell online?
Yes, you register for VAT when you start. Small businesses under the turnover limit usually register under Article 11, which means no VAT on sales and a simple annual declaration.
Can customers pay by Revolut?
Yes. Choose the “Revolut” type and enter your Revtag; customers see it at checkout and pay in seconds.
Can I charge a different delivery fee for Malta and for Gozo?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone for Malta and another for Gozo, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Is WAStore free in Malta?
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.

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.
