Garida’s escrowed marketplace for Kurdistan
A multilingual multi-vendor commerce platform for Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Duhok, built around escrow, cash on delivery, vendor settlement, and moderated order handling.
Field notes
The platform describes a shared order path for card payments and cash-on-delivery promises, with funds held until delivery and a stated 48-hour dispute window. Its operational model is unusually explicit: orders move through 13 states and 33 permitted transitions, while 74 permissions are divided among five staff roles. Vendor terms shown on the page include a 10% commission, a 50,000 IQD minimum payout, and a 500,000-dinar ceiling for cash orders.
