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

Bank transfer
Add “Bank transfer” with your bank, account number and account name (Bank Muscat, NBO, Bank Dhofar…); customers copy it at checkout and send you the receipt on WhatsApp.
Thawani Pay
Add an “Other” method called Thawani with your Thawani merchant details or payment link: customers see it at checkout and send you the confirmation on WhatsApp.
Payment link (card)
Paste a a local gateway such as Thawani or your bank payment link as a “Payment link” method for customers who want to pay by card.
Cash on delivery
Turn on “Cash on delivery”: nothing to set up, and the customer pays when the order arrives.

Selling on WhatsApp in Oman

In Oman home businesses — bakers, perfume and bakhoor sellers, abaya and gift shops — take orders on Instagram and WhatsApp, then send IBAN details in the chat. WAStore puts prices in Omani rials and a cart in front of that, so every order arrives with the customer’s name, phone and wilayat before you ask for the transfer.

Muscat deliveries are often same-day with a local driver; Salalah and the interior need a courier and a higher fee. Cash on delivery still works for first-time customers who prefer to see the order first. Selling in Arabic too? There is an Arabic page for Oman.

Shops in Muscat, Salalah, Sohar and Nizwa, and across the country.

Delivery, registration and payments in Oman

Delivery and couriers

In Muscat most small sellers use a personal driver or apps like Ayn and local couriers for same-day delivery across wilayats. For Salalah, Sohar and Nizwa, Oman Post and Aramex are the usual options, and cash on delivery is available with some couriers for a fee.

Registration and tax

Home-based and online sellers typically need a municipality licence for their activity, and a commercial registration becomes relevant as you grow. VAT (5%) registration is required once taxable supplies pass the mandatory threshold. Home food sellers also follow municipality food-safety rules.

How customers pay

Bank transfer to an IBAN (Bank Muscat, NBO, Bank Dhofar and others) is the everyday way to pay a WhatsApp seller. Thawani Pay is widely used for QR and payment links. Cash on delivery still helps with first-time customers who want to see the order.

WAStore vs other options in Oman

Most WhatsApp store tools no longer take a commission. What differs is how many products you get for free, whether orders are capped, and whether customers see your local payment methods (bank transfer and Thawani) when they order.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Oman

Can I use Thawani with WAStore?

Yes. Add Thawani as an “Other” method with your merchant details, or paste a Thawani payment link as a “Payment link” method for card payments.

Do I need a commercial registration?

For occasional sales many people start with a municipality home-business permission. Regular trading usually needs proper commercial registration — check with your municipality for your activity.

Can I charge a different delivery fee in Muscat and for Salalah and the rest of Oman?

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

Can I price in Omani rials?

Yes. Set your store currency to OMR and every price, cart total and order on WhatsApp shows in rials.

Is WAStore free in Oman?

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 Thawani?

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 Oman 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.
