Your online store in Maysan, with fees that cover your cost in each area
Madar lets you sell from and to Maysan through a ready online store. Your shoppers order from Ali Al-Gharbi in the north to Qalat Saleh in the south and pay cash on delivery. You give each of the 7 areas its own delivery fee, and the delivery company you use carries the parcel.
Maysan between the Tigris and the marshes
Maysan lies in south-eastern Iraq on the Tigris. It holds part of the southern marshes and a number of oil fields, and it borders Wasit, Dhi Qar and Basra. The road from Baghdad reaches it through Wasit and Ali Al-Gharbi. Its towns are spread around the governorate's centre in more than one direction, with Ali Al-Gharbi to the north and Qalat Saleh to the south. Long distances and some country roads lie between them, and some villages are far from the main roads. So do not stop at one fee for the whole governorate: give every area far from your warehouse a fee that covers your real cost.
How do you price delivery to the far areas of Maysan?
Start with one fee for the governorate, say IQD 8,000 as an example, and watch your cost to Amarah, the governorate's centre, and compare the other areas with it. Then raise the fee for farther areas such as Ali Al-Gharbi and Qalat Saleh in line with what the company charges you. Give Dur Al-Naft its own fee if the cost of reaching it differs. Ask the company whether it reaches the far areas before you set their fee. Madar does not deliver orders: you hand the parcel to the company, or send it with one tap if you linked your account with Al-Waseet, Modon Express or Hi Express on Pro, and Madar keeps the fee and the order status.

Questions about selling in Maysan
How do I find the far areas in Maysan so I can raise their fee?
Measure from your warehouse: Amarah is the governorate's centre, Ali Al-Gharbi lies to the north and Qalat Saleh to the south. Ask your delivery company what it charges to reach each of them, then give the areas that cost you more a higher fee in Madar and leave the rest on the governorate's general fee.
I sell from Basra. Can I take orders from Maysan?
Yes. Maysan's shoppers can order from your Basra store like anyone else, and Maysan borders Basra, Dhi Qar and Wasit. You set the delivery fee for Maysan, and you can give its areas their own fees in your delivery settings, then give the order to your delivery company.
A shopper lives in a remote village that is not on Maysan's list. How do they order?
A shopper in Maysan chooses Other and completes the order, because the list of every governorate in Madar ends with that option. You set a separate fee for Other that covers your cost to the farthest village you reach, and change it in your delivery settings whenever you need.
