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.

Yes, there is a free cashier program for Algerian shops: DZBuild POS. It runs on Windows 10 and 11 and handles the till, stock, customer credit (kridi), suppliers and the invoices Algerian law asks for. It costs 0 DA, needs no licence key, no subscription and no account, and it keeps selling with no internet connection. Download DZBuild POS for free.

We build it at DZBuild and publish its source code under the GPL-3.0 licence. This guide covers version 1.1.0, released on 10 October 2026: the till, the 2025 stamp duty rule on cash, kridi, the 25 trade templates, and the tools for pharmacies, butchers, jewellers and phone shops that the download page does not list.

For an Algerian online store, start with a photo of the actual product. Use ChatGPT or Gemini when you want to describe an edit in conversation, Photoroom for a dedicated product-background workflow, and Canva when the photo needs to become an advertising layout. Choose the result by how faithfully it shows what you will deliver.

A brighter image is easy to like. An extra pocket, a changed shade or an accessory you do not include is easy to miss. With payment on delivery, that difference can become the buyer's first complaint when the parcel arrives.

You can now design your DZBuild store by describing what you want. Copilot is inside Customize: tell it what you sell, choose a visual direction, and ask it to adjust colours, text and home page sections using your existing store. This guide shows how to build your online store’s design with AI in Algeria, then review it on a phone and refine it without writing code.

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.

A catalog export, an order notification or a tool for an agency managing client stores starts with the same question: how does the app get the store owner's permission to access the right data?

dzbuild.dev is DZBuild's developer portal. It brings together the e-commerce API, app starters, installation guides and resources for coding assistants. This guide follows a practical first project: an app that lets a merchant download their product catalog as CSV, with permission to read products only.

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.

You have made a useful PDF, a template or a small design pack. Selling it in Algeria comes down to three questions: what does the buyer receive, how do they pay, and when can they open it?

This guide takes one product from an idea to a working sales process, with a sample offer, a payment comparison and a realistic setup budget.

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.
