Algeria has 69 wilayas since law 26-06 of 4 April 2026 (Journal officiel n° 25 of 5 April 2026). Eleven new wilayas were carved out of ten existing ones and numbered 59 to 69 by presidential decree 26-206 of 25 May 2026 (Journal officiel n° 40). The country now counts 1,541 communes. This page gives the official list, the numbers, the communes each new wilaya took from its parent, the plate codes that start on 1 January 2027, and what changes when you ship a parcel to Bou Saâda, Barika or Aflou. Short version for sellers: on 14 October 2026 the courier booking systems still use the 58 former codes, so nothing changes on your labels yet.

Every wilaya number, commune list and date below was read in the Journal officiel itself, not in a news article. Where a name has several spellings, the table uses the one printed in the decree.

Orders have come in from your ad. You confirmed some and shipped the parcels. A few days later, some customers have received their orders, other parcels have returned, and the courier still holds part of the money. Was the campaign profitable? Can you increase advertising without running out of money to buy stock?

To answer, you need three separate figures: what you sold, what remained after costs, and what money you received. A rising order count alone cannot answer those questions.

This guide explains a practical way to sell in Algeria: identify a clear need, make an honest offer, follow a group of orders until their outcomes are known, then decide using the numbers. It is for beginners planning a first test they can evaluate, and merchants receiving orders without knowing where their margin goes.

No method guarantees success for every product. There are steps that reveal what customers want, where sales fall through, and whether more orders will leave money after expenses.

An unanswered confirmation call, a buyer who did not prepare the cash, a parcel left at a stop desk: each needs a different follow-up. WhatsApp integration for e-commerce in Algeria is useful when the message matches the order's actual progress.

DZBuild's WhatsApp Sender sends automatic order updates in Arabic or French, adds a tracking button, and brings buyer replies back to the merchant. It is available from the Pro plan, with prepaid message credits. Developers can use the same templates and balance through the DZBuild API.

A landing page is one page that sells one product, with the order form on the page itself. Your buyer in Algeria pays cash at the door. Ask only for name, phone, wilaya, commune and address. Show that wilaya's delivery price before the buyer presses the button.

DZBuild publishes this article, and we sell one of the tools named in it. Every competitor price below was read from that company's own page on 7 September 2026 and carries that date.

PPSpy reads public Shopify stores and estimates how much each one sells. It costs 39 to 299 US dollars a month, and the stores it tracks almost never deliver to an Algerian door.

DZBuild publishes this article. We sell an Algerian store platform, so we are one of the options near the end. Every PPSpy, DSers and Shopify figure below was read from that company's own page on 7 September 2026, and the links are in the last section.

Yes, WooCommerce supports cash on delivery. It ships a payment method called Cash on delivery, it is free, and you switch it on in two clicks.

In Algeria that setting does one small part of the job. It puts a pay-on-delivery option in front of the buyer, and nothing else.

The rest is four separate builds. A price for each of the 58 wilayas, a home rate and a stop desk rate. A way to hand the parcel to your courier. A way to get the delivery status back. A stock rule that waits for your confirmation call.

Choosing an e-commerce platform in Algeria is not the same decision as choosing one in France or the Gulf. The orders arrive as Facebook and Instagram messages, they are paid in cash at the door, and they leave on a Yalidine or ZR Express parcel that someone has to book by hand. A platform that cannot do those three things is not cheap — it is unusable.

This article compares the platforms an Algerian merchant can realistically use in 2026, with every price and every number dated so you can re-check it yourself. It is published by DZBuild, and it shows how each daily job, from the first order to the returned parcel, is done on a DZBuild store.

Most Algerian merchants think of delivery refusals as "annoying." The reality: a 30% return rate is a business-threatening financial leak — one that can be cut to 10% or less with the right systems.

This guide gives you the exact numbers, the root causes, and five operational systems that reduce your refusal rate from the industry average to best-in-class.

Cash on Delivery customers are different. They haven't paid yet, they're more likely to abandon, and they need more trust-building before they convert. But here's the opportunity: with the right retargeting strategy, you can recover 35% of abandoned COD orders.

Cash on Delivery dominates Algerian e-commerce, accounting for ~80% of all transactions. But with COD comes a unique challenge: returns. A customer who hasn't paid upfront is more likely to refuse delivery, change their mind, or provide a fake address.
