WhatsApp Store for Qatar
Turn your Instagram and WhatsApp following into real orders: a branded WhatsApp store where Doha customers browse in Qatari riyals and send the finished order straight to your WhatsApp.
Qatar shops from the phone, and in Doha the buying conversation almost always ends up on WhatsApp. Scaanme gives your business a branded WhatsApp store: customers in West Bay, Lusail, Al Wakrah, and across Doha browse your products with photos and prices in Qatari riyals, then send the complete 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. You settle the way Qatar already pays: cash on delivery, a bank or Fawran transfer, or your own payment link.
Get Started FreeComplete orders land in your WhatsApp
Customers browse your storefront, choose their items, and the full order arrives in your WhatsApp, itemized and ready to confirm, price, and deliver anywhere from West Bay to Al Wakrah.
Your prices in Qatari riyals
Your customers see product prices in the Qatari riyals they think in, so your storefront reads as local from the first glance rather than a foreign catalog priced only in dollars.
Zero commission on sales
Scaanme charges a flat subscription and never takes a cut of your sales. Every riyal a customer pays goes to you.
No payment gateway, pay the Qatar way
Scaanme does not process payments. You settle directly with the customer: cash on delivery, a bank or Fawran transfer, or your own payment link.
Serves Arabic and English from one link
Your store renders fully right-to-left with natural Arabic and serves both Qatari and expat customers from the same link, matching how Doha actually shops.
Works with the free WhatsApp Business app
No WhatsApp Business API and no approval process. Orders arrive in the free WhatsApp Business app you already use on your phone.

What is a WhatsApp store?
A WhatsApp store is a browsable online catalog whose checkout is a WhatsApp message instead of a card payment page. Customers open your store link, browse your categories and product photos, choose what they want, and the finished order is sent to your WhatsApp chat, itemized and ready to confirm. The shop is a link; the checkout is a conversation. That structure removes the usual friction: there is no account for the customer to create, no app to download, and no abandoned card checkout. The moment an order arrives, you are already talking to the buyer in the channel where the sale actually closes, so you can confirm the details, agree on delivery across Doha, and settle payment your own way.
Why Doha businesses sell on WhatsApp
Qatar is a small, dense, high-income market that shops on the phone and likes to talk before it buys. Since the 2022 World Cup, Doha's hospitality, retail, and home-business scene has grown fast, and many of the new brands are born on Instagram: home bakers, bukhoor and oud houses, abaya and gift-hamper studios, and karak and gahwa corners taking delivery orders across West Bay, Lusail, The Pearl, and Al Wakrah. WhatsApp is where those buying conversations already happen, and premium gifting around Ramadan, Eid, and Qatar National Day pushes the volume higher. A WhatsApp store keeps that trusted conversation and adds a real catalog, so the order arrives itemized instead of as a stack of screenshots, and you settle by cash on delivery, a bank or Fawran transfer, or your own payment link.
