Your online store in Al-Qadisiyyah, from Al-Diwaniyah to Afak and Dagharah
In Al-Qadisiyyah you can set up an online store with Madar whose orders come from Al-Diwaniyah, Afak, Dagharah and the rest of Iraq, all paid in cash on delivery. Each of the governorate's 9 areas gets a delivery fee of its own, and you hand the order to your delivery company.
An agricultural governorate on the road south
Al-Qadisiyyah is an agricultural governorate in the Middle Euphrates. Its capital, Al-Diwaniyah, is about 180 km south of Baghdad. The governorate lies between Babil to the north and Muthanna and Dhi Qar to the south, and it borders Najaf and Wasit. The road that links Baghdad and Al-Hilla with the southern cities passes through it. Outside Al-Diwaniyah are towns such as Afak and Dagharah. On the edges of the governorate, as in much of Iraq, an address is described by area and nearest well-known landmark, not by street and house number. For a merchant this means a shopper's address may need a phone call to confirm, and one fee for the city centre will not always replace a fee for the farther towns.
How do you price delivery between Al-Diwaniyah and the other towns of Al-Qadisiyyah?
Start with one fee for Al-Qadisiyyah, such as IQD 8,000 as an illustration. Then separate the city centre, Al-Diwaniyah, from farther towns such as Afak and Dagharah, and make the towns' fee a little higher based on your real cost. When an address is on the outskirts, ask the shopper for a clear landmark when you confirm the order. Madar does not deliver parcels: 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 follow the order, the fee and the status in your dashboard.

An example delivery fee setup for Al-Qadisiyyah
This is an illustrative example with numbers of our own, not any delivery company's price. We start with a general governorate fee of IQD 8,000, then adjust two areas.
For every detail of fees in Madar, read:
Delivery fees| Area | Delivery fee (example) |
|---|---|
| All areas of Al-Qadisiyyah | IQD 8,000 |
| Afak (close to your warehouse) | IQD 6,000 |
| Umm Al-Khail (far from your warehouse) | IQD 10,000 |
The numbers are for illustration only. You change them in your delivery settings, and the real fee is your decision.
Questions about selling in Al-Qadisiyyah
How do I handle repeated area names such as Al-Hamzah and Al-Askari in Al-Qadisiyyah and Babil?
Each governorate in Madar has its own list and its own fees, so Al-Hamzah and Al-Askari exist in both Al-Qadisiyyah and Babil without their fees mixing. In Al-Qadisiyyah, Al-Diwaniyah can have one fee and Afak and Dagharah a higher one if they cost more to reach.
I sell from Al-Hilla. Do I need a warehouse in Al-Diwaniyah?
No. You can sell to Al-Qadisiyyah from any warehouse: your Madar store takes its orders, and you can set a fee for the governorate and separate fees for areas such as Al-Diwaniyah and Afak. If you do keep stock in Al-Diwaniyah, add a warehouse there to track the quantity of each product, and give the order to a delivery company that reaches the address.
A shopper's address in Dagharah is unclear. What do I do before delivery?
If a shopper's address in Dagharah is unclear, call the shopper to confirm the address and a nearby landmark, then edit the order's details in your Madar dashboard, where full order editing is available. After that, give the parcel to your delivery company. If the company cannot reach the shopper, record Delivery failed so the order's record stays clear.
