Why sell on Circle Souq

Word of mouth, made visible

  • Trusted by her friends

    Buyers see how many women in their circle ordered from you. It's the recommendation that already sells for you, now in one place.

  • Nothing new to learn

    Every order opens a WhatsApp chat with you, with the item, the gift-wrap request and the delivery address already written.

  • Demand with a date

    Buyers plan weddings, baby visits and Eids in Nizam and add your products to those occasions weeks ahead.

Questions

Seller questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Listing is free during the beta. If we introduce seller fees later, we'll tell you in advance and you can leave at any time.

Do I need a licence?

Yes, to go live. You can apply while your licence is being issued and we'll hold your place.

How do customers pay?

The way they do today. Orders and payment happen between you and your customer on WhatsApp. Nizam takes nothing from your sales during the beta.

Can I promote my listing with influencers?

Yes. Anyone advertising for you in the UAE needs a UAE Media Council advertiser permit, and we only feature creators who have one.
