Why Jounieh businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Jounieh is a commercial centre in Lebanon with a population of roughly 102,000, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Businesses here work in retail, hospitality, tourism and services; many are based around the Jounieh bay area and the Kaslik district.
Logistics are supported by The coastal highway to Beirut, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Lebanese businesses are digital-savvy and entrepreneurial, and a large diaspora buys gifts and products for relatives. Dollar pricing, strong delivery apps and wallet payments define successful stores.
For a business in Jounieh, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own B2B ordering portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
What makes a Jounieh store feel local
Conversion in Jounieh depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Lebanese pound (LBP), formatted the way Jounieh customers read them.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Arabic, French and English where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Jounieh recognise: Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts) and Whish Money and delivery through Liban Post.
Domain, phone and contact
A .lb domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +961 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Holy Spirit University of Kaslik close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Jounieh.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Jounieh business
Jounieh businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom B2B ordering portal, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Lebanon — fashion, electronics, food and dining and cosmetics — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Jounieh clients
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Jounieh, so you see what to promote.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Content and design can follow how customers in Jounieh search and buy, including Arabic and French where you need it.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Jounieh team keeps its current way of working.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Customers in Jounieh can pay with Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts), Whish Money and OMT Pay, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Shipping rules can use Liban Post, Aramex and DHL as well as your own delivery staff in Jounieh.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Stock can be held in Jounieh or anywhere in Lebanon, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Checkout and payment methods for Jounieh
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Lebanon, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts), Whish Money and OMT Pay, and many also look for cash on delivery in USD, Apple Pay and Google Pay and PayPal.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in Lebanese pound (LBP).
Business buyers around the Jounieh bay area often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts). We support both flows.
- PayPal
- Cash on delivery in USD
- Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts)
- Whish Money
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- OMT Pay
Fulfilment options for Jounieh orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Liban Post, Aramex, DHL, Toters, Wakilni and Wishbox, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Jounieh.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Connectivity in the area — The coastal highway to Beirut — makes regional and national dispatch from Jounieh practical.
Selling online legally in Lebanon
Lebanon charges 11% VAT; since the financial crisis, businesses commonly price in US dollars while official rules specify Lebanese pounds.
On privacy we design around Law No. 81/2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data, which sets consent and data-processing duties; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Protection Law No. 659/2005 and the Electronic Transactions Law.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Lebanon.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Jounieh
Toters, Talabat and Zomato Lebanon are where many shoppers in Jounieh start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Jounieh
Popular online categories in Lebanon include fashion, electronics, food and dining, cosmetics, jewellery and home design. Local demand in Jounieh is shaped by retail, hospitality, tourism and services, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Jounieh, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Jounieh, connected to the systems you already use.
FMCG distributors
FMCG distributors get contract pricing plus quotes and approvals workflows tailored to their operations.
Industrial suppliers
We map how industrial suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Electrical and hardware traders
For electrical and hardware traders, we usually start with credit and payments, then add warehouse and inventory systems once orders are flowing.
Medical and institutional suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for medical and institutional suppliers in Jounieh, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
Add a mobile app for Jounieh customers
Phones carry most traffic in Lebanon. A dealer and sales-representative app lets buyers re-order in seconds, scan products, check statements and receive scheme announcements, while reps take orders at the counter even with patchy connectivity.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your B2B ordering portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+3 so offers reach Jounieh customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Arabic and French.
- Credit and payment gateways
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Logistics and freight partners
- CRM and lead management
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- BI and reporting tools
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
A phased launch plan for Jounieh
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Jounieh, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for LBP, Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts) and Liban Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Jounieh customers actually buy. |
We track order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity on a live dashboard from day one, so Jounieh results are visible, not promised.
How Jounieh clients work with us
Jounieh runs on UTC+3, which is 2h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Arabic. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your B2B ordering portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Jounieh clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
