The Ramadan E-commerce Surge: A Regional Perspective

The spike in digital activity during Ramadan is not just a trend; it’s a fundamental shift in consumer habits. This is particularly evident in key markets like Jordan, where the blend of tradition and technology creates unique opportunities for merchants.

Eyad Musharbash, Group Chief Sales Officer at PayTabs, highlights this dynamic:

“ Ramadan in Jordan consistently accelerates digital payment adoption, with higher transaction volumes across retail, e-commerce, food delivery, and charitable giving. Consumers increasingly prioritize fast, secure, and contactless payment options, making Ramadan a key growth period for digital commerce.“

The Ramadan E-commerce Surge: Are You Ready?

During Ramadan, we see a massive spike in online activity. People are shopping for:

  • Food and Groceries: Bulk orders for family Iftars.
  • Fashion and Gifts: New clothes for Eid and presents for loved ones.
  • Charity (Zakat and Sadaqah): A significant increase in online donations.
  • Travel: Last-minute bookings for Eid getaways.

This heightened demand means your checkout process needs to be flawless. A slow, complicated, or untrustworthy payment page will send your customers straight to a competitor. This is where a robust payment gateway platform becomes your most valuable asset.

The Repeat Billingfeature is a powerful e-invoicing tool that helps you collect recurrent payments online effortlessly. Set up monthly or one-time Zakat deductions, manage membership fees for community centers, or handle subscription renewals with ease.

Whether they prefer to pay by card, or through other popular local methods, offering choice at checkout reduces cart abandonment and builds loyalty.
