Opening an online store in Egypt no longer needs a developer or a big budget. Here are the steps in order.
1. Choose what to sell and test it small
Start with products you know well and can supply regularly. Test demand among people you know and on social media before buying stock in bulk.
2. Price for every cost
Your price must cover the product, packaging, payment fees, any shipping you absorb and a share for returns. Remember that cash on delivery costs you money when a customer refuses an order.
3. Create the store
On Qeersh you sign up with your email and name your store, then add products with a photo, a price and a description, and pick a free theme for your business. The setup guide in your dashboard walks you through.
4. Set up shipping and payment
- Set shipping zones and prices by governorate.
- Turn on cash on delivery, the most used method in Egypt.
- Connect an online gateway such as Paymob or Fawry on your own account; the money comes straight to you.
5. Protect yourself from fake orders
Turn on WhatsApp order confirmation and risk scoring, and ask for a deposit on high-risk orders.
6. Start marketing
Share your store link on your pages, show your catalog on Facebook and Instagram, and offer a discount code on the first order.
