Selling on WhatsApp in Syria
In Syria a large share of small selling runs on WhatsApp: clothes, food, cosmetics and phone accessories. Prices may be in Syrian pounds or dollars depending on the seller; payment is Syriatel Cash, MTN Cash, cash on delivery or a local transfer office. WAStore organises the catalog and cart so each order arrives with name, neighbourhood and phone.
Damascus and Aleppo same-day delivery by motorcycle is normal; between cities, confirm the order and payment method on WhatsApp before the parcel moves. Prefer Arabic? There is an Arabic page for Syria.
Shops in Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Latakia, and across the country.
Delivery, registration and payments in Syria
Delivery and couriers
In Damascus and Aleppo, motorcycle messengers handle same-day neighbourhood deliveries. Between cities (Homs, Latakia and others), agree the route and payment on WhatsApp before the parcel leaves — conditions change by area.
Registration and tax
Formal trading follows the commercial and municipal rules that apply in your governorate. Many small sellers start within their community and formalise when volume or suppliers require it.
How customers pay
Syriatel Cash and MTN Cash are the mobile wallets people already have on their phones. Cash on delivery is common inside the same city; between cities, a wallet payment or a trusted transfer office is used more often. Stripe is not available for sellers here.

Questions about selling on WhatsApp in Syria
Can I accept both Syriatel Cash and MTN Cash?
Yes. Add both as separate methods with your phone numbers so customers pay on the network they use.
Can I charge a different delivery fee in your city and for other governorates?
Yes, on Pro: create one delivery zone in your city and another for other governorates, each with its own fee (or “to be confirmed”). The free plan has one flat delivery fee and free pickup.
Can I confirm every order before shipping?
Yes. Each order arrives with the customer’s phone and a WhatsApp button so you can confirm before you send anything.
Can I price in dollars?
Yes. Set store currency to USD if that is how you already sell, and explain in the payment method how customers pay in pounds or dollars.
Is WAStore free in Syria?
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 Syriatel Cash, MTN Cash 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 Syria 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.
