Selling on WhatsApp in Qatar

In Qatar compound and Instagram sellers (home bakers, cake artists, abaya and perfume boutiques, gift boxes) live on WhatsApp. Customers in Doha often want cash on delivery the same evening; regulars transfer to your IBAN. WAStore gives you a catalog in Qatari riyals so the order is complete before the driver leaves.

Set one delivery fee inside Doha / Al Rayyan and another for Al Wakrah, Lusail or the industrial areas, and offer building pickup for customers who prefer it. Selling in Arabic too? There is an Arabic page for Qatar.

Shops in Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and Lusail, and across the country.

Delivery, registration and payments in Qatar

Delivery and couriers

Doha same-day delivery is the norm: sellers use their own driver, Rafeeq, or local courier partners. Deliveries to Al Wakrah, Lusail and the industrial area usually cost more. Building and compound drop-offs need a clear flat/villa number in the order address.

Registration and tax

Home businesses often start under the Home Business licence / freelancing permits available through government portals, then move to a commercial CR as they grow. Food sellers need the relevant municipality food permit before advertising homemade goods.

How customers pay

Bank transfer to your IBAN is what regular customers use; cash on delivery is what first-time Doha customers often prefer the same evening. Card payment links from a local gateway cover customers who do not want to transfer manually. Stripe seller accounts are not available in Qatar.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Qatar

Can I deliver only inside Doha?

Yes. Set your delivery fee for Doha / Al Rayyan and write in the store description that you do not ship further, or add a higher-fee zone for Lusail and Al Wakrah on Pro.

Can customers pay by card?

Not through Stripe from a Qatar seller account. Paste a payment link from a Qatar-based gateway as a “Payment link” method, or stick to bank transfer and cash on delivery.

Can I charge a different delivery fee in Doha and for Al Wakrah, Lusail and further out?

Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in Doha and another for Al Wakrah, Lusail and further out, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.

Can I offer cash on delivery only inside Doha?

Yes. Turn on Cash on delivery and write in the store or method description that COD is for Doha only; ask for a bank transfer before you send orders further out.

Is WAStore free in Qatar?

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 Qatar 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.
