Selling on WhatsApp in Romania
In Romania much of small online selling (clothing, cosmetics, handmade gifts, sweets and cakes) happens on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp, and most customers pay ramburs, on delivery. WAStore gives you a shop with prices in lei and a cart, so orders arrive complete with name, address and items, and you pay no commission.
Turn on cash on delivery, add your IBAN or Revtag for customers who pay ahead, and on Pro take cards through your own Stripe account. Set a delivery fee for your city and another for the rest of the country, or offer pickup.
Shops in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timiศoara and Iaศi, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Romania
Delivery and couriers
FAN Courier, Sameday (with easybox lockers), Cargus, DPD and GLS cover the whole country, usually the next day. Couriers collect cash on delivery (ramburs) for a small fee and transfer it to your account.
Registration and tax
To sell regularly you need a legal form: most start as a PFA (authorised individual) or a small SRL registered with ONRC, and register for VAT once turnover passes the threshold. Online shops are also expected to show their company details and links to ANPCโs consumer dispute pages. Check your setup with an accountant.
How customers pay
Cash on delivery (ramburs) is still how many Romanians pay small online shops, especially for a first order. Bank transfers and Revolut are common for paying ahead, and cards and Apple Pay come through your own Stripe account on Pro.

WAStore vs other options in Romania
