@nachu

for as you know there is none...

but there is..

and if your thinking it should be done by minimum of 10 people... your wrong!

Thats why ecommerce website were created, and why online & social media marketing exist to help everything running a good business

Thanks :)

@ Jay420,

These kind of facilities would be a work of minimum 10 people. and putting up online payment is not very easy in Qatar and tough to do it (you need a Trading bank account under your company name and approval from ministry). if you notice, you dont see much (infact none) people are doing online payment websites locally.

just put up online store that caters paypal & credit card payment. and then ship thru lbc/fedex satin.

it will be difficult if you'll be asking for some bank deposit or something sometimes ending up not ordering

I think the best way to find out the people who does the same business and propose them with ur ideas, business and the profit out of it. they might take up ur goods and in return you get a good profit. it’s much better than looking for an individual customers.

i know selling to individual customers could give you much more benefit. but since its cloths and other accessories, most of the people prefer to try and then buy if they like it. so i think retail shops are the best to approach.

kabayan, its not easy as you think.

having that kind of visa has many obstacles for business here, also. this is not our country. so we have to abide with their rules.

Anyway, let me know in a way i can help. We're into web development.

Just send me a pm.

you cant import anything to qatar unless you have "Registered Trading Company" and you have import license for the same. thats why i asked u ..

so you have find someone who is doing this business already, so that you could make partnership with them (if you can offer good return).
