WhatsApp Store for Iraq
Turn your Instagram and Facebook page into real orders with a branded WhatsApp store. No card gateway, no commission, and you settle the Iraqi way: cash on delivery, ZainCash, or FastPay.
In Iraq a business starts on an Instagram or Facebook page, and the deal is closed inside WhatsApp. Scaanme turns that same chat into a real branded store: customers in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, and Najaf browse your products with clear photos, pick what they want, then send the complete order straight to your WhatsApp, ready to confirm. There is no website to build, no card gateway to connect, and Scaanme never takes a single dinar of commission from your sales. You keep collecting the way Iraq already pays: cash on delivery, ZainCash, FastPay, or a Qi Card transfer, exactly as you do today, only faster and with nothing lost in a busy inbox.
Get Started FreeZero commission on every sale
Scaanme charges a flat monthly subscription and never takes a cut of your sales. Every dinar the customer pays stays with you.
No card gateway to set up
Iraq runs on cash, so there is nothing to connect. Customers order first, then pay on delivery or by a local wallet transfer.
Collect the Iraqi way
Take payment by cash on delivery, ZainCash, FastPay, a Qi Card transfer, or your own link. Scaanme stays out of the payment entirely.
A real store, not a comment thread
Organize products into categories with a cart and pick from 56 store themes, so buyers browse instead of asking the price in DMs.
Opens in any browser, no app
The store opens straight in the customer's browser with nothing to download, so it reaches every phone in the country.
Every order arrives complete
Each order lands on WhatsApp with the items, quantity, total, and delivery address, so nothing gets lost and no item is mixed up.
Scaanme store vs selling in Instagram DMs
| What you need | Scaanme WhatsApp store | Selling in DMs and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Ready in an afternoon, no coding | Retyping the price under every post |
| Product prices | Set once and always visible to the buyer | Hidden in DMs, buyer keeps asking how much |
| Order accuracy | Full order with items, quantity, and total | Scattered messages, wrong or missed items |
| Cost | Flat subscription from $9.99/mo, no commission | Free but chaotic, easy to lose sales |
| Payment | You settle directly: COD, ZainCash, FastPay | Same methods, but slow and disorganized |
Most Iraqi sellers already close deals on WhatsApp; Scaanme keeps that habit and only removes the chaos, with no commission and no gateway.

What is a WhatsApp store?
A WhatsApp store is a branded online storefront whose checkout is a WhatsApp message instead of a card payment. With Scaanme you build a page that shows your products in categories, each with a photo, a description, and a price you set yourself. A customer browses, adds what they want to a cart, and taps one button to send. Instead of paying online, the finished order, with items, quantities, and total, lands in your WhatsApp Business inbox as a normal click-to-chat message, ready for you to confirm delivery and collect payment. It uses the free WhatsApp Business app and the wa.me link, so there is no WhatsApp API, no approval process, and nothing for your customer in Baghdad or Basra to install.
Why a WhatsApp store fits Iraq
Iraq has one of the region's youngest, most online populations, and a huge share of its trade now lives on Instagram and Facebook pages run from a phone. A clothing seller in Baghdad, an accessories page in Erbil, and a home kitchen in Basra all start on social media, then move the serious buyer to WhatsApp to agree on the item, the price, and the delivery. The card economy is still thin, so a foreign payment gateway only scares buyers off. Cash on delivery, ZainCash, FastPay, and Qi Card are how people actually pay. Scaanme fits that reality: it organizes your catalog, keeps the conversation on WhatsApp where trust is built, and lets you collect on delivery. As the Central Bank of Iraq pushes electronic payments and salaries move onto Qi Card, a clean digital storefront gets you ready early. Any e-invoicing you owe stays your own concern, separate from the store.
