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.

A WordPress store costs about 3,200 to 5,700 DZD in cash for its first year if you host it in Algeria and use only free software. It costs about 28,000 DZD in that first year once you buy a theme and a page builder licence, and it costs more hours than dinars either way.

What the auto-entrepreneur card actually is​

The auto-entrepreneur status lets a physical person run an individual economic activity without creating a company and without a commercial register (registre de commerce). It's managed by ANAE (Agence Nationale de l'Auto-Entrepreneur) through the portal anae.dz, where you register, declare revenue, and pay tax — all online.

The overwhelming majority of e-commerce in Algeria runs on cash on delivery. That makes sense: trust in online payment is still limited, and COD is what lets customers buy without friction. But that same advantage carries a hidden cost: a significant share of orders get rejected at delivery, and you absorb the round-trip shipping cost every time it happens.

"How much money do I need to start?" is the first question every Algerian who wants to sell online asks — and the honest answer is: far less than you think, but more than zero.

The exact figure depends on one decision: are you dropshipping (selling other people's stock) or selling your own product (buying inventory up front)? This guide breaks down both, in real Algerian dinars, with the full cost stack nobody warns you about — store, courier, confirmation, advertising, and the working-capital buffer that quietly kills under-funded stores.

Cash on Delivery still dominates Algerian e-commerce — but electronic payment is growing fast. BaridiMob alone has over 16 million accounts. Dahabia cards are now in the hands of most Algerian postal account holders. CIB cards are spreading with bank digitization programs.

Adding e-payment options alongside COD doesn't replace what's working. It converts the 15–20% of buyers who prefer to pay upfront — and eliminates refusal risk entirely for those orders.

Live commerce — selling products in real time via video — is the fastest-growing sales channel in Algeria right now. Algerian sellers on Facebook and Instagram Live are regularly pulling 30 to 100+ orders from a single one-hour session.

This guide gives you everything to start: setup, live structure, product presentation formula, and how to manage the order chaos that comes with a successful live.

Hundreds of thousands of Algerians sell online. The vast majority — especially those operating via Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — do so without official registration.

This guide is not about judgment. It explains what Algerian law actually requires, what the real enforcement risks are, and a practical path to operating legally when you're ready to scale.
