Questions people ask first
Can my store charge in LYD?
Yes. Choose Libya as your store’s country and LYD as its currency.
Can I sell to other countries too?
Yes. Add markets for other countries, each with its currency and delivery fees, and show only the payment methods you can honour there.
Do I need to take card payments?
No. Your store takes cash on delivery and bank transfer, which is how most Libyan buyers pay.
