Online Store with Cash on Delivery in Egypt
Sell the way most Egyptian customers still buy, with card payments alongside.
A Pashkateb storefront supports cash on delivery as a first-class payment method, with card payments through Paymob for customers who prefer to pay online. Crucially, stock is reserved the moment the order is placed — before anyone has paid — so you never sell an item you no longer have just because payment comes later.
Why cash on delivery still matters in Egypt
A large share of Egyptian buyers still want to see the product before paying. A store that forces online payment quietly loses a portion of its orders. The better answer is to leave both open and let the customer choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the store support cash on delivery?
Yes. Cash on delivery is supported at checkout and the customer can pick it instead of paying by card.
Can I offer card payments too?
Yes, through the Paymob gateway. The customer chooses whichever method suits them at checkout.
What happens to stock if a COD order is refused?
The quantity was held against that order, so cancelling it returns the stock to available and reporting reflects that.
