What you can sell
DZBuild keeps no list of approved categories and reviews no product before it goes live. The rule is Algerian law: if you may legally sell it in Algeria, you may sell it from a DZBuild store. What the platform does decide is how you sell it, because a store is created as either a physical-products store or a digital-products store.
Allowed products
Anything legal in Algeria, physical or digital.
Physical goods are clothing, electronics, cosmetics, home items, anything a courier carries to the buyer. These stores collect a wilaya, a commune and an address at checkout, and the buyer pays on delivery. See Cash on delivery and the couriers overview.
Digital goods are e-books, courses, software, accounts, activation codes and downloadable files. These stores run the Digital theme, skip the address fields entirely, and hand the buyer the item instead of shipping it. See Digital theme.
The terms of service put the legality of your products, the accuracy of your descriptions and prices, order fulfilment, delivery and after-sales on you (section 5). DZBuild is the shop software, not the seller.
Banned products and use
Section 7 of the terms forbids using the platform to sell illegal, counterfeit or dangerous products, to defraud, deceive or impersonate anyone, to send spam, or for any activity contrary to Algerian law. A violation ends in account suspension or closure with no compensation.
Nothing else is filtered. There is no category whitelist, no per-product review and no approval queue between hitting Save and the product appearing on your storefront.
Digital sellers carry one extra obligation (section 6): deliver exactly what the product page describes, immediately after payment, through the platform's delivery mechanism, and handle your own buyers' complaints.
One store, one kind of product
Step 3 of store creation asks for the type of products and offers two choices:
| Choice | Hint shown under it |
|---|---|
| Physical products | Clothes, electronics, products that need delivery |
| Digital products | E-books, courses, software, codes |
Physical is preselected. The choice is a mode, not a skin: a digital store loses shipping rates, courier integration and cash on delivery, and gains secure storage, digital orders and its own payment settings. The Digital theme page describes the switch and its confirmation dialog in full.
One store runs one mode at a time. To sell both kinds, open a second store on the same account and set it to the other type. Each store carries its own subscription, so a second store means a second plan. See Multi-store.
Delivering digital goods
Two paid monthly add-ons carry this section: Secure Storage holds the items, and Payment Gateway publishes the methods your buyers pay through. Prices for both are on the Digital theme page.
A digital store holds three kinds of item in its secure storage: files (PDF, ZIP, RAR and similar, up to 20 MB each), accounts (an email and a password) and activation codes. You load stock in bulk, one item is allocated per order, and the dashboard tracks what is sold and what is left.
Download links are deliberately short-lived. Each one allows 3 downloads and stops working 30 days after delivery. Neither number is a setting you can change from the dashboard.
Buyers pay through the methods you publish yourself. The digital payment settings let you add a method of type Redot Pay, CCP, BaridiMob or Custom, with your own account details, the account holder's name, a currency and its conversion rate to the dinar, an optional extra fee in percent (dinar methods only), and a choice between requiring a payment receipt or confirming automatically. Those accounts are yours: this is how your buyers pay you, and it has nothing to do with how you pay your own DZBuild subscription, which is covered in Subscriptions.
Recurring digital products do not exist yet. There is no way to bill a buyer every month. Sell each period as its own product, for example a one-month access product beside a three-month one. Recurring billing is planned with no date attached.
Paperwork and account checks
DZBuild asks for no identity document, no registre de commerce, no bank statement and no tax number. There is no document upload anywhere in signup or the dashboard, and no manual account review sitting between you and your first sale.
The only check at signup is a numeric code emailed to the address you registered with. Enter it and the account is live. Signup also wants an Algerian phone number, in the same format the storefront requires. See Create an account.
No verification does not mean no rules. The terms require that you have the legal capacity to run a commercial activity (section 2) and keep you responsible for what you sell (section 5).
Money never sits with DZBuild either. On physical orders the courier collects the cash and pays you directly on the courier's own schedule. On digital orders the buyer pays into the account you published. There is no payout account for DZBuild to verify, and no commission on any of it.
Where your buyers can be
Algeria, for now. Checkout accepts only an Algerian phone number: 10 digits starting with 0, or 12 digits starting with the 213 country code. A foreign number is rejected on the physical checkout and on the digital one, so a buyer abroad cannot complete an order even when the payment method you offer would have worked. Physical stores are further tied to Algeria by the courier network and the wilaya and commune address fields.
Selling to buyers outside Algeria is planned. No date has been announced.
Card payment at checkout for your buyers is also planned, with no date. Today physical buyers pay cash on delivery, and digital buyers pay through the manual methods you configure.
Frequently asked
Q: Do I need a registre de commerce to open a store? A: No. DZBuild never asks for one, and no part of signup or the dashboard requests a document. The terms do require that you are legally able to trade, and the legality of your activity stays yours.
Q: Can I open a store using someone else's registre de commerce? A: Nothing in the product checks a registration, so the platform will not stop you. Whether trading under someone else's registration is lawful is a question for Algerian law, and section 5 of the terms leaves that responsibility with you.
Q: How long does account verification take? A: There is nothing to wait for. No document review exists. The email code arrives within seconds; if it does not, check the spam folder and request a new one.
Q: Does DZBuild take a commission on my sales? A: No. There is no percentage on sales and no transaction fee. The subscription plan is the whole cost. Prices are on Subscriptions.
Q: Can I sell to customers in France, Canada or the Gulf? A: Not yet. Checkout requires an Algerian phone number, so orders from abroad cannot go through. Expansion beyond Algeria is planned without a published date.
Q: Can I sell one product that renews every month? A: Not yet. Recurring billing for buyers is not built. Publish each period as a separate product and let the buyer repurchase when it ends.
