Does Scaanme use the WhatsApp Business API?

No. The store works through the wa.me click-to-chat link with the free WhatsApp Business app. There is no API and no approval process, and your customer does not need to install anything.

Will the store work on an older phone or a weak connection?

Yes. The store is a light web page that opens in any browser with no app to install, so it loads on older phones and holds up on a weak connection. That keeps your store reachable for every customer in Beirut, Tripoli, or a village with patchy internet.

WhatsApp Store for Lebanon

Turn your Instagram following into real orders with a branded WhatsApp store: no gateway, no commission, and it opens on any phone even on a weak connection.

In Lebanon a small business lives on Instagram and closes the sale inside WhatsApp, and through the crisis that habit only grew stronger. Scaanme turns that same chat into a real branded store: customers in Beirut, Tripoli, and Sidon browse your products with clear photos, pick what they want, then send the finished order straight to your WhatsApp ready to confirm. There is no website to build, no payment gateway to connect, and Scaanme never takes a commission on a single sale, so every dollar stays with you. You keep settling the way the country already runs, in fresh dollars, by Whish, OMT, or cash on delivery, only faster and without the lost messages.

Get Started Free

Zero commission on every sale

Scaanme charges a flat subscription and never takes a cut. Every dollar a customer pays lands with you, which matters most when margins are tight.

Opens on any phone, no app

The store opens straight in the browser with nothing to download, so it loads even on an older phone or a weak connection.

Low monthly cost, no surprises

A store plan starts at $10 a month flat. No setup fee, no gateway fee, and no percentage skimmed off the top of your sales.

Settle the Lebanese way

Collect by fresh dollars, a Whish or OMT transfer, or cash on delivery. Scaanme stays out of the money entirely and issues no invoice.

Turn Instagram followers into buyers

One link in your bio or story turns the followers you already have into orders that arrive complete on WhatsApp.

Every order arrives complete

Each order reaches WhatsApp with the items, quantity, and total, so nothing gets lost between a comment, a DM, and a voice note.

Scaanme store vs selling in DMs and comments

What you need	Scaanme WhatsApp store	Selling in DMs and comments
Setup	Ready in an afternoon, no coding	Retyping prices in DMs all day
Products and prices	Always visible with photos	"price in DM," catalog gets lost
Order accuracy	Full order with quantity and total	Scattered messages, wrong items
Cost	Flat from $10/mo, no commission	Free but chaotic, sales slip away
Payment	You settle: fresh dollars, Whish, OMT, COD	Same methods, but disorganized

Almost every Lebanese small business already sells over 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 an online 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 to send. Instead of paying online, the finished order, with items, quantities, and total, arrives in your WhatsApp Business inbox as a normal click-to-chat message, ready for you to confirm and collect payment. It uses the free WhatsApp Business app and the wa.me link, so there is no WhatsApp API, no approval, and nothing for your customer to install.

Why WhatsApp selling works in Lebanon

Through the economic crisis, Lebanese commerce moved almost entirely onto the phone and into a cash economy that Banque du Liban itself describes as heavily dollarized. A home kitchen in Tripoli, a clothing reseller in Beirut, and an accessories page in Sidon all build an audience on Instagram, then move the serious buyer to WhatsApp to agree on the item, the price, and the delivery. Budgets are tight and buyers are careful, so a costly setup or a card gateway that skims a percentage simply does not fit. Scaanme matches that reality: a low flat cost, a store that loads on any phone, no commission, and settlement in fresh dollars, by Whish or OMT, or cash on delivery. Any e-invoicing or VAT obligation stays the registered merchant's own separate affair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a payment gateway to start selling?

No. Scaanme does not process payments, so you settle directly with the customer in fresh dollars, by a Whish or OMT transfer, or cash on delivery. Scaanme never takes a commission on the sale.

Which currency can I show prices in?

You type the price into each product yourself, exactly the way you already quote it to customers, whether in dollars or on request. The store does not lock you into one currency, so you stay in step with how the Lebanese market actually prices things.

Does Scaanme take a commission on my sales?

Never. Scaanme charges a flat subscription only and takes no percentage of your sales. Store plans start at $10 per month, and in a tight economy that predictable cost is the whole point.
