The True Cost of Building an E-Commerce Website in Iraq
When selling on Instagram and Facebook starts to take off, every merchant has the same thought: *"I need an e-commerce website to get organized."*
Then reality hits:
"A freelance developer quotes $500 to $1,500, an agency asks for 2 months, plus annual cloud hosting bills, domain registration, SSL certificates, and recurring maintenance fees every time a plugin breaks."
After paying all that, the site is often slow on Iraqi mobile networks, and local shoppers don't have credit cards to navigate complex desktop checkouts.
Why a Traditional Website Struggles in Iraq
Building a full website from scratch can work well in other markets, but it isn't built around how people actually shop in Iraq:
