Selling online in Egypt: COD, InstaPay, and cards
The payment mix Egyptian shoppers actually use — and how to accept all of it.
Card-only checkout leaves money on the table in Egypt. A big share of shoppers prefer cash on delivery, and many pay by InstaPay or a mobile wallet. Meet them where they are.
Ebni’s store supports the full local mix out of the box:
- Cash on delivery — the default many customers trust.
- InstaPay and Vodafone Cash — with a copyable number and QR at checkout, verified manually.
- Cards — via Paymob when you want online capture.
You keep 0% commission on your orders — you pay your payment provider’s standard fee, nothing to Ebni beyond your plan. Add governorates and shipping zones, send WhatsApp order confirmations, and print Arabic invoices — all built for the local reality.
Offering every method is not just convenient — it is conversion. A shopper who does not trust cards will still complete cash on delivery; one without a card at all will pay by wallet. Removing that one point of friction is often the difference between a sale and an abandoned cart.
