What makes DzStore different
Four things every Algerian merchant needs that international platforms can't deliver
- Cash on delivery, native
- Cash on delivery isn't a paid app — it's the default. Your customers see the cleanest checkout in the market, you see the cleanest order management.
- Yalidine, Maystro & +90 carriers built-in
- Generate shipping labels with one click across 90+ Algerian carriers. No copy-paste, no third-party plugins, no developer required.
- Arabic-first, not translated
- RTL works correctly everywhere. Numbers, currency, names, addresses. Built for Arabic, French and English from day one.
- 0% commission, ever
- Free forever for your first 3 orders/month. PRO is 1,000 DZD/month during the launch offer — 50% off the regular 2,000 DZD/month. Early adopters keep the launch price for life.

But what about…
Isn't Shopify bigger and more trusted?
Globally, yes. For selling in Algeria with cash on delivery, Shopify charges $39+/month, doesn't ship with Yalidine, has half-broken Arabic, and Shopify Payments isn't even available here. You'd spend weeks fighting it before realizing it doesn't fit. DzStore works on day one.
WooCommerce is free, isn't it?
The plugin is free. Then you pay for hosting, security, premium plugins, a developer, and a Yalidine integration that probably doesn't exist. Real cost is 50–500 USD/month. DzStore is actually free, no hosting, no setup, ready in seconds.
What about YouCan?
YouCan is excellent — for Moroccan merchants. They prioritize Morocco's market, their carrier integrations are Moroccan-first, and their support is in their time zone, not ours. DzStore is built in Algeria, by Algerians, for Algerian wilayas and Algerian carriers.
I sell on Instagram DMs — why change?
Most Algerian micro-sellers do, and it works at low volume. But hand-written order books and screenshot confirmations break the moment you grow. DzStore turns the chaos into real orders, real tracking, and real growth — without losing the Instagram traffic you already have.
