Quick answer

Who builds e-commerce stores for Iraqi merchants?

Ijjad builds conversion-optimized e-commerce stores for Iraqi merchants in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra. Ijjad ships stores from $2,500 with cash-on-delivery, ZainCash, FastPay, and AsiaHawala integration, multi-currency IQD/USD, Arabic-first checkout, and governorate-level shipping — delivered in 4-8 weeks, backed by case studies of 200+ monthly orders for GCC clients.

  • Cash-on-delivery as a first-class flow — not an afterthought retrofitted from a Western template.
  • ZainCash + FastPay + AsiaHawala + cards in one checkout, multi-currency by default.
  • Governorate-level shipping rules + COD reconciliation built in.

Iraq's e-commerce market is on the runway

Iraqi shoppers are growing online faster than payment infrastructure can keep up. Cash-on-delivery is still ~60-70% of orders, but card and wallet adoption is climbing every quarter. The merchants winning right now are the ones whose checkout works on a phone, in Arabic, with COD as a primary option.

E-Commerce in Iraq — FAQ

How much does an online store cost in Iraq?

Standard stores start at $2,500 (~3.3M IQD) with cash-on-delivery, basic payment integration, and Arabic-first checkout. Complex stores with custom features, multi-warehouse inventory, or marketplace logic run $7,000–$25,000+. We quote fixed scope, fixed price.

Can you integrate ZainCash and FastPay?

Yes — ZainCash, FastPay, NassWallet, AsiaHawala, and major card gateways (Stripe, PayTabs, Q-Card). Plus cash-on-delivery as a first-class option with COD reconciliation built in. Multi-currency IQD/USD ships by default.

Do you build on Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom?

Depends on your scale. Shopify works for stores under 1,000 SKUs that want minimal headaches. WooCommerce gives more flexibility and lower long-term fees. Custom Next.js/Medusa wins for stores with complex inventory or multi-vendor models. We'll recommend based on your actual needs, not on what we want to upsell.

How does cash-on-delivery work in your stores?

Customer orders, you (or your courier) deliver, the customer pays cash at the door, the courier reconciles back to your dashboard. We integrate with regional Iraqi couriers and handle the back-office: order tracking, return workflows, and partial-payment splits if you offer that.

Do you handle delivery and logistics integrations?

Yes. We've integrated with the major Iraqi courier APIs and can build governorate-level shipping rules, weight-based pricing, and real-time tracking. If your courier has no API, we build a simple admin so your team can mark orders shipped/delivered manually.

How do I market the store after launch?

Most clients pair the store build with our SEO and Google Business Profile services. We can also run paid Meta and Google ads — but honestly, for most Iraqi SMEs, organic SEO + a strong GBP delivers better cost-per-acquisition than paid social.
