Sell online in Iraq · IQD
Create your online store in Iraq
Iraq is a big, young, mobile-first market: products are found on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and paid in cash at the door. A fast store and a short order form are what turn an ad into a delivered order.
How people buy online there
Cash on delivery
Almost every online order is paid at the door.
Facebook, Instagram and TikTok
Discovery and ads live there; pixels show what really sells.
Delivery by governorate
Baghdad, Basra, Erbil and the rest each get their own fee.
Confirm every order
A quick call or WhatsApp message before shipping saves wasted trips.
