Becoming a COD seller in Morocco: requirements and sign-up

Who this business suits, and who it does not

COD is a trade, not an investment. The work that decides the outcome sits entirely before the platform: finding a product people want, writing an advert that reaches them, and paying to put it in front of them. The platform handles everything that comes after. If the first half is not held up by someone, the second half has nothing to process.

What to have in place before applying

• A way of reaching customers — A page or account with an audience, an online store that gets traffic, an advertising account, or failing that a list of people you can contact. This is the one genuinely disqualifying condition, because no feature replaces it.
• An advertising budget — Money you accept spending before the first sale, and losing part of during testing. No amount can be quoted here: it depends on the product, the selling price and the channel chosen.
• A reachable phone — Even when the platform calls your customers, you are the one called when something goes wrong with an order, and your number is what identifies your account.
• Bank details in your own name — Withdrawals are paid into an account you hold. They are entered in settings after access is opened, not at application time.
• An email address you actually read — It is used to verify the account, for order notifications, and for the platform's announcements.
• Time every day — Following your orders, reading your reports, answering your account manager's questions and watching your returns. Not much time, but every day.

What gets reviewed in an application

The review looks at how serious and coherent the application is, not at past revenue. A beginner who explains clearly how they intend to get their first orders is easier to accept than a vague application promising large volumes.

Four things count: your identity and contact details, so it is clear who access is being granted to; how you plan to get orders, since the platform does not supply them; your grasp of the model, in particular that the confirmation and delivery fees are incurred before any cash comes in; and the absence of a plan plainly incompatible with selling physical goods in Morocco.

An application can be declined, or held while a detail is clarified. A refusal is not final: nothing stops you coming back with a clearer application, particularly once you have settled on a specific product and channel.

What it is honest to expect

No earnings can be quoted, and any page that quotes some should raise suspicion. A COD seller's result depends on their product, their selling price, their advertising cost and their delivery rate, and those four vary between sellers so much that two identical accounts on the platform can produce opposite outcomes.

What is certain is the shape of the start. You spend before you collect: advertising is paid up front, the confirmation and delivery fees are incurred at dispatch, and profit is credited only on delivery, several days later. The first weeks therefore consist of putting money out while waiting for information to come back.

You also have to accept that most products tested will not work. This is the part of the trade that costs the most patience: a product is judged on parcels that reached their destination, not on leads received, so each test takes days and costs a budget. A seller who plans their cash around that lasts longer than one who bets everything on their first choice.

After access is opened

1. Complete the profile and payment details — In settings: your information, your interface language, and the account your withdrawals will be paid into. Without payment details a balance can build up but cannot leave.
2. Note your public ID — In the form XXXX-XXXX. It is used to identify yourself to support and to attach a payment to the right account.
3. Browse the catalogue before choosing — The 1 products in the public catalogue, with their platform price and stock. Picking a product whose stock is low before launching a campaign is a common and avoidable mistake.
4. Run a first order by hand — A lead typed in manually, confirmed, dispatched and paid for teaches more about the chain than any amount of reading. It is also the fastest way to check that your selling price leaves a real margin.
5. Connect a source of orders afterwards — A YouCan store connection, import from Google Sheets, a webhook or the REST API. Do this after confirming that a product sells, not before.
6. Use your account manager and the tickets — An account manager looks after a group of sellers, and support requests are opened from the account and tracked through to their answer. The academy also offers free courses.
