How to create your free lifetime store on Mrfqy in under an hour
Signup to first sale on Starter — no credit card, no trial expiry. Step-by-step for Arab merchants launching in 2026.
Most platforms give you fourteen days, then a paywall. Mrfqy Starter is different: a free lifetime store you keep forever — up to fifty products, bilingual storefront, and local payments for your country. This guide walks from account creation to sharing your first product link, realistic for a Saturday morning in Cairo, Riyadh, or Casablanca.
Step 1 — Create your account
Visit mrfqy.com and click Start free. Enter email, choose a password, and verify your inbox — no credit card field exists on Starter signup.
Pick your store name and subdomain — yourstore.mrfqy.com goes live immediately. You can rebrand later; subdomain is permanent on Starter until you upgrade to custom domain on Pro.
Select store country — Egypt, Saudi, UAE, Morocco, and twenty-two Arab markets configure VAT, currency, and default payment pack automatically.
Accept terms and land in onboarding wizard — store basics, first product prompt, payment toggle.
Step 2 — Add your first products
Start with five to ten hero SKUs — photos on neutral background, price in local currency, Arabic title primary with English optional.
Use variant matrix for size/color if fashion; single SKU fine for accessories or digital goods.
AI copy assistant drafts descriptions — edit for brand voice before publish. Slug and SEO fields help Google and social previews.
CSV import supports one hundred rows on Starter — bulk upload if migrating from Instagram catalog spreadsheet.
Step 3 — Choose theme and publish
Browse theme presets — fashion lookbook, minimal electronics, grocery grid. Live preview shows Arabic RTL and English side by side.
Drag sections: hero, featured collection, testimonials, newsletter. No code — publish toggles storefront live on subdomain.
Upload logo and brand colors — header, buttons, and checkout inherit palette.
Mobile preview mandatory — most Arab shoppers buy on phone; fix image crop before announce.
Step 4 — Enable payments
Egypt Starter includes Paymob and cash on delivery — connect merchant credentials from payments settings.
GCC stores enable Tap, Moyasar, or HyperPay per country pack. Test one EGP or SAR transaction before marketing.
COD builds trust for first-time buyers — set minimum order or fee if returns worry you.
Receipt emails send automatically on paid orders — bilingual template from store settings.
Step 5 — Shipping zones
Define zones by governorate or emirate — Cairo flat rate, Upper Egypt higher, remote areas explicit.
Connect Bosta, Aramex, SMSA, or manual rates. Free shipping threshold optional above basket value.
Delivery time estimate on product page reduces WhatsApp 'when arrives?' messages.
Print label from order detail when carrier integrated — otherwise mark shipped manually.
Step 6 — Share and first sale
Copy one-page checkout link for hero product — paste in Instagram bio and WhatsApp status.
Place test order yourself with real payment method — refund after confirming email and fulfillment flow.
Pin store link in Telegram channel; add UTM on ads when you scale to Pro pixels later.
Starter stays free after first sale — no automatic upgrade charge ever.
Your free lifetime store is yours to keep — grow to fifty products, validate demand, upgrade to Pro only when custom domain and advanced analytics justify it. Start free at mrfqy.com today.
