Payments & Ecommerce in Lebanon 2026 — Merchant Guide

Lebanese buyers want to know how they will pay before completing an order. This guide helps you choose the right mix.

In Lebanon, full card checkout is not universal across every category yet. Successful merchants combine WhatsApp confirmation, cash on delivery (COD), and bank transfer — with clear USD and LBP pricing on the storefront.

Most common payment methods

  • WhatsApp: the customer orders on your store and you confirm payment in chat
  • COD: pay on delivery — always disclose fees upfront
  • Whish / OMT / bank transfer for confirmed orders
  • Cards — for larger merchants with an external payment gateway

Building trust

A professional PDF invoice, a stable store URL, and real product photos reduce fear of scams. LBeirut sends a structured WhatsApp order with a branded invoice automatically.

USD and LBP

Set your exchange rate in the dashboard and show both prices on product pages. Do not change the price on WhatsApp versus the store — that destroys credibility.
