The solution was launched to boost the visibility of Egyptian handmade items and attract national and international clients for its local users.

Muqbis is an e-commerce solution launched to allow local artisans to showcase their products to an international audience. It was created, in 2021, by the Egyptian startup Muqbis.

To access its services as buyers, users need to visit its web platform where they can browse the various products ranging from pottery, embroidery, and jewelry to artwork and brass work. Once they select the items they need, they can create an account to finalize the purchase or log in if they already have a Muqbis account. As for artisans, they can register for an account that allows them to showcase their products to potential buyers.

On its front page, the solution showcases best sellers, best-rated items, and those with ongoing promotions, boosting the visibility of those items and ultimately sales. Payments can be made either with a banking card or in cash at delivery. However, for the time being, no mobile money solution is available.

Muqbis has a return policy that gives buyers 30 days from the reception date to return any defective items. Its only condition is that the item should be unused and still in the same condition as received. Let's note that in December 2022, the startup behind the solution raised funds to support its expansion.
