Why now

Selling online in Qatar needs a CR and a licence for every website. Most kabayan side-sellers aren't there yet.

Ang kwento ni Ate Weng

One app, the whole journey.

Scroll through how a Filipino side-seller goes from group-chat orders to a licensed online business.

01 · Ang simula

Ate Weng sells Filipino skincare from five group chats.

Orders, “GCash ok ba?”, payment screenshots and pickup questions, all after a full shift. Then a buyer asks the question she can't answer yet: “Licensed ka ba?”

What kabayan sell

Find your business among MOCI's 194 approved activities.

Every code on the official schedule, grouped the way kabayan actually sell. Your six-digit code decides your tier, your approvals and whether any physical facility is needed, so Address Gateway confirms it with MOCI before you commit. Tap a group to see its codes.

Not sure which code?

Four questions decide it. Answer them on WhatsApp and we map your code the same day.

Chat on WhatsApp

  1. 1What do I actually sell?

    Physical goods, a digital product, a service, or access to other people's products: each lands in a different part of the schedule.

  2. 2Do I ever touch the goods?

    If you hold stock, pack or ship, you are at least partly physical (Tier 2). If you never touch goods, Tier 1 or Tier 4 may fit.

  3. 3Am I the seller or the middleman?

    Selling your own goods is retail or wholesale. Connecting buyers and third-party sellers for a commission is Tier 3.

  4. 4Is my product regulated?

    Food, cosmetics, health products, medicines, telecom devices and controlled goods need the sector authority's approval before the licence can issue.

Your website, by law

Ten things your site must show before the first sale. Ours ships with all ten.

Article 5 of Decision No. 25 gives every licensed website legal content duties from day one. The Launch Kit site is built to this checklist, with Arabic invoices and a privacy notice added for the consumer and data-protection laws you trade under.

Source: Decision No. 25 of 2026, Art. 5 (Official Gazette No. 5 of 2026). The Arabic text is the only official version.

Honest numbers

Two government costs. That's it.

Formation QAR 3,000 is all-in: it covers the government fees for your CR (1 activity), Qatar Chamber, the eCommerce Licence and your tax card — no separate government bills from us. Your website, domain, hosting and email are the QAR 2,000 package.

  • eCommerce Licence: QAR 500 a year, one per website
  • The licence does not replace your CR
  • No shop needed for the online permit — but no home kitchen either

Mga kasabi-sabi sa group chat

What people say about the new licence, and what the record actually supports.

The licence is months old and the online service is weeks old. Anyone who guarantees you an answer the government has not published is guessing.

Sabi nila

“The new licence means you don't need a company anymore.”

The record

Article 3 requires registration in the Commercial Register. You need an entity and an active CR before you can apply.

confirmed

Sabi nila

“It costs QAR 500 to start an online business in Qatar.”

The record

QAR 500 a year is the eCommerce Licence fee only. CR formation, trade name, constitutional documents, approvals and domain are separate lines.

confirmed

Sabi nila

“You can use your .com domain.”

The record

Single Window currently accepts .qa and .com.qa. Register the Qatar domain before you build, not after.

confirmed

Sabi nila

“The licence gives foreigners automatic 100% ownership.”

The record

Ownership is decided during CR formation, by activity, legal form and approval, not by the licence.

general rule

Sabi nila

“The licence comes with three visas.”

The record

No visa quota is published anywhere. A licence, CR, establishment card, labour file, recruitment approval, work permit and residence permit are separate approvals from three ministries.

gray area

Sabi nila

“No physical location means I can store stock at home.”

The record

Not confirmed. The licence removes the premises requirement for the online permit; it does not turn a residence into an approved warehouse.

gray area
