E-commerce in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine
Tier 3 Levant markets — Stripe where available, bank transfer, Aramex, and honest COD workflows on Mrfqy.
Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine share complex payment landscapes — currency volatility, limited local acquirers, and high COD trust. Mrfqy classifies all three as Tier 3: Stripe where merchants can connect it, bank transfer instructions, COD, Aramex shipping, and manual order confirmation workflows. Honesty about partial coverage lets Levant merchants sell today without false integration promises. Lebanon lists Stripe and bank transfer with 11% VAT; Iraq offers COD and Aramex with 15% sales tax; Palestine supports Stripe and bank transfer with 16% VAT — all Tier 3 with honest partial coverage.
Tier 3 Levant on Mrfqy
Tier 3 means COD and bank transfer are first-class checkout methods, not fallback afterthoughts. Mrfqy dashboards label Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine clearly so customers know what to expect.
Stripe connectivity is available where merchant accounts qualify — useful for diaspora buyers paying in USD or EUR while you fulfill locally in LBP, IQD, or ILS-equivalent pricing.
Gateway expansion for local currencies remains on the Mrfqy roadmap; merchants who start now inherit catalog and fulfillment history when integrations mature.
Lebanon's pack: Stripe plus bank transfer plus Aramex. Iraq's pack: COD plus bank transfer plus Aramex for major cities. Palestine's pack: Stripe plus bank transfer with West Bank and Gaza shipping zones — Mrfqy labels each Tier 3 openly.
Stripe and bank transfer options
Connect Stripe in Mrfqy payments settings if your business qualifies — ideal for export-minded Lebanese brands and Iraqi merchants serving diaspora checkout.
Bank transfer instructions display at Tier 3 checkout with pending order status until you manually confirm payment — standard for B2B and high-ticket Levant orders.
