The key step: one product
Don’t start with 20 products. The pick decides 80% of the outcome: price 1,500–8,000 DZD, 2–4× margin, solving a clear problem or unavailable in shops. Avoid electronics (thin margins, brutal competition).
Setup in a day
With a local platform, build the store in Arabic, add the product, connect Yalidine (API ID + Token once), enable order confirmation. No developer, no hosting needed.
Confirmation cuts losses
Algeria’s COD refusal rate is ~32%. A confirmation call within 60 minutes drops it to ~11% — a direct saving on wasted parcels. Make it a routine from day one.
