Build a custom checkout and order workflow around how your business operates. We review payment access and courier responsibilities before agreeing the work.
When does an Iraqi store need custom e-commerce development?
Custom e-commerce development fits when standard store software cannot support the merchant's checkout or operating rules well. A store may need a particular delivery workflow, COD reconciliation or a wholesale buying process. Ijjad scopes custom stores for Iraq around the chosen workflow, with provider access and language requirements agreed before the build. A conventional hosted or plugin-based store may be sufficient for simpler needs.
Choose the work your store needs
Choose a storefront build for the shopper journey, COD operations for delivery and cash reconciliation, or B2B ordering for trade-buyer access and approvals. A project can combine them; the proposal defines which parts.
Merchants needing a product catalog and checkout tied to particular order or delivery rules.
Schedule agreed after the catalog and workflow review
Merchants reconciling collections and returns across couriers or delivery areas.
Schedule depends on courier records and access
Wholesalers whose approved buyers need account pricing or bulk-order approval.
Schedule follows the chosen business model and dependencies
The scope records catalog structure, required languages and review owners. Provider access, migration and any support are agreed explicitly. No payment provider or courier integration is included without checking the merchant's access.
Start with how your customers pay and which accounts your business can obtain. A provider name on a feature list does not establish merchant approval or usable technical access. Agree the payment currency and settlement terms with the provider before committing the checkout.
The official ZainCash merchant guide documents transaction inquiry and environment-specific access. FastPay's web integration guide describes merchant registration and transaction validation. Both were reviewed on 19 October 2026. They explain provider requirements; they do not establish your account's eligibility or an Ijjad integration history.
Define the evidence behind each order state. A checkout confirmation should not mark an unverified digital payment as paid. For COD, delivery and cash settlement need separate records so a completed delivery does not hide money still owed by a courier.
For example, a COD order may be delivered while the courier collection is still unreconciled. The agreed dashboard should show the unresolved settlement and who needs to act. Map returns and partial collections to the merchant's actual courier records rather than assuming one status covers the whole order.
Before approving automation, identify who owns product availability and who resolves payment or courier exceptions. A file import or manual confirmation may be the right first release when the provider has no reliable interface.

How we launch Iraqi stores
Payment and courier work begins after access is verified. Operational hand-over covers the approved routes and manual fallbacks.
Review the buyer journey and the merchant process. Identify product-data owners and the payment or courier dependencies. Confirm what the first release must do before agreeing the scope.
Deliverable: Written brief and acceptance criteria.
Agree product structure and availability rules. Assign content and language review, then review the proposed checkout flow before building it. Any existing-store migration needs its own mapping and checks.
Deliverable: Approved catalog and checkout plan.
Use the provider access confirmed for the project. Test successful and failed payments alongside the agreed delivery and return scenarios. Record manual fallbacks and unresolved dependencies before launch approval.
Deliverable: Staging workflow and acceptance evidence.
Confirm source access and account responsibilities. Review the order workflow with the people who will operate it. Any training, monitoring or ongoing support follows the coverage agreed in the proposal.
Deliverable: Handover record and agreed launch responsibilities.
First-party records from Ijjad software and website projects
First-party, anonymized project figures reported by Ijjad. Client identities and underlying analytics are not public; the linked cases explain the project context and method.
Start with a short description; these questions can guide the follow-up. We review the brief and ask any scoping questions before preparing a proposal if the project fits. Detailed discovery or feasibility testing is agreed separately.
Start with your products and the workflow you need to improve. Add a public store URL if you have one. Payment and courier details can follow; keep private records and credentials out of the enquiry.
