Selling online in Algeria without coding: where to start in 2026.

23 mai 20269 minZakaria · dzecom

You run a shop in Algiers, Sétif or Oran. Your customers keep asking "and do you deliver?". You already sell on Facebook, but you spend 2 hours a day answering the same DMs. You know you need a real website — but the idea of learning Shopify, WordPress, or worse, actual code, freezes you.

Good news: you don't have to learn the tech. You just have to prepare 5 things. The rest — hosting, CIB payment, Yalidine delivery, confirmation emails — is the agency's job.

First, forget Shopify and WordPress.

You've probably been told "use Shopify, it's easy". That's not wrong — for someone who speaks English, has an international Visa, and wants to learn to set up a theme. For an Algerian merchant who just wants to sell caftans or car parts, it's not the right entry point.

Shopify doesn't natively support CIB or Edahabia. It bills in dollars. It doesn't connect to Yalidine. You'll end up installing paid plugins, asking a developer to make them work, and paying $30 / month for a half-broken result.

WordPress + WooCommerce, same: it's flexible, but it's a developer project. You shouldn't be spending your evenings on it.

What you need is someone who speaks the tech language for you and hands you a shop that works in Algeria. That's our job. But before we start, here's what you have to prepare.

5 things to prepare (before calling us).

1. Your product photos

The most important. No pro gear needed — a recent phone in good natural light covers 80% of cases. At least one photo per product, ideally 3 to 5 (front, detail, in context). Clean or solid background. If your products are in the shop window, shoot them there. If you really have no photos, we can organise a session for 10 000 DA.

2. Your prices and short descriptions

An Excel file or even a list on WhatsApp. One line per product: name · price in DA · 2 sentences of description · stock. We import that automatically, you don't have to retype anything. If it fits in your head, it fits in an Excel.

3. Your bank activation (the longest part)

To accept CIB and Edahabia, you need a SATIM merchant account. You request it from your bank (CPA, BEA, BNA, SGA, AGB — doesn't matter). Bring your commercial register, your tax card, and a template request we'll give you. Allow 2 to 6 weeks to get it. It's the slowest item, so start early.

4. Your carrier

Yalidine, ZR Express, Noest, Maystro, Ecotrack — 5 big carriers. You pick 1 or 2. Open an account with them (free, just an online form), grab your API key, and we hook everything up. Labels print from your dashboard, customers receive an SMS with their tracking number, and the COD cash is remitted to you weekly.

5. Your logo (or not)

If you have one, send it. If you don't, we make you one for 8 000 DA (logo + Facebook, Instagram, signage variants). A brand without a professional logo loses 30% of conversions at first glance. It's not luxury, it's revenue.

What we do for you (concretely).

  • The .dz or .com domain (we register it in your name)
  • Hosting and HTTPS (1 year, then 6 000 DA / year)
  • Site installation with your logo, your colours, your photos
  • CIB / Edahabia / COD integration (cash lands in your bank account)
  • Yalidine / ZR / Noest connection (auto labels + tracking)
  • Dashboard to manage your orders (in French, no code)
  • 1 to 8 hours of training to use it
  • One month of support to answer your questions

Realistic budget: what to expect?

We don't sell dreams. For an average Algerian merchant who wants a site that actually sells:

  • Boutique pack — 35 000 DA: up to 50 products, CIB, COD, 1 carrier. Delivered in 7 days.
  • Pro pack — 65 000 DA: unlimited products, CIB + Edahabia + COD, 5 carriers, mobile app. Delivered in 10 days.
  • Custom — from 90 000 DA: native app, ERP, multi-shop. Delivered in 30 days.
