Checkout and cash on delivery

How a customer completes an order, and which payment methods your store can offer.


Buying from your store is designed along the shortest possible path: the customer buys without creating an account.

Guest checkout

The customer adds to cart, enters their details and address, picks a payment method, and confirms. No registration and no password.

Why that matters in the Egyptian market: every extra step before confirmation lowers completion, and creating an account is the largest extra step there is.

Before confirmation: the cart is re-checked

Before the order is recorded, the system re-checks the cart: are the products still available, are the prices still the same, are the quantities there?

If something changed, the customer is told before paying — not afterwards.

Payment methods

Cash on delivery

The primary method in the Egyptian market, and available in your store.

The order is recorded, and the customer pays the courier on delivery. Payment on the order is complete at that point, but the cash itself stays owed to you until it reaches you — and you follow that on the shipment itself. An important detail explained in Order, payment and return statuses.

Instapay

The customer transfers and uploads proof of the transfer, or pays a deposit. The request reaches your dashboard for review.

Card payments — via Paymob

Card payment is available in the system through Paymob.

Coupons

If you have an active coupon, the customer enters it at checkout and the discount is applied. The discount enters the net profit calculation on that order, so it is never lost from the maths.

Shipping

The shipping price is set by governorate, according to the rules you configure. The customer sees it before confirming.

After confirmation

The customer reaches a confirmation page carrying the order number and its details, and can follow it afterwards from the tracking page.
