ورد الإمارات

A marketplace
of her making.

Goods and services, made and sold by women artisans across the Emirates. Direct from her workshop to yours.

Why sellers choose WARD.

A marketplace that treats you as the maker, not the supplier.

01

Zero listing fees

Free to list, edit, and pause. We earn when you earn — a fixed commission on completed orders, nothing before.

02

Weekly payouts

Every Friday, your week's earnings land in your account. No 30-day holds, no hidden reserves, no surprise deductions.

03

Bilingual reach

Your storefront renders in Arabic and English. Buyers see your story in whichever they read best — we handle the switch.

04

AI advice, not autopilot

Pricing suggestions, demand signals, burnout warnings — delivered as advice, never enforced. You stay in charge.

Meet the makers.

One-hundred and fifty women across the Emirates. Here are six to start.

FAQ · الأسئلة الشائعة

01

Is a WARD voucher the same as a wallet?

+

No. A WARD voucher is prepaid store credit, redeemable only on the WARD marketplace. It is not a wallet, investment, donation, or financial product — there is no withdrawal, no interest, no transfer.

02

How does a seller get paid?

+

When a buyer completes an order, her share is calculated server-side and reserved in the immutable ledger. Every Friday, we batch weekly payouts to her bank account — minus the transparent WARD commission.

03

Who verifies the sellers?

+

Every seller is interviewed by the WARD team and their identity + Emirate residency is verified before her storefront is published. Only approved artisans appear in the marketplace.

04

Does WARD support Arabic checkout?

+

Yes — the entire marketplace, including checkout, seller dashboards, and voucher flows, is available in Arabic and English with RTL layout support. Language switches mid-session without breaking the cart.
