Black Friday in Morocco: get your online store ready in 3 weeks

Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November. In Morocco the event has become part of online shopping habits, but consumers have grown wary of "fake discounts", as several Moroccan outlets have reported. For an online store, it can be a very profitable week, provided the site holds up, payments work and offers are credible. Here is a 3-week checklist.

Week 1: the technical side

  • Mobile speed: most purchases happen on phones. Compress images, lighten product pages and test on a mobile connection. See fixing a slow website.
  • Hosting: check with your host that the site can take a traffic spike, especially on shared hosting.
  • Updates and backups before the rush, never during. See update WordPress safely.
  • Payments: test a full card order (CMI) and a cash-on-delivery order. See CMI card payments.
  • Stock: make sure quantities are accurate so you don't sell what you don't have.

Week 2: offers and pages

  • Real discounts: show the price you actually charged before. Inflated discounts destroy trust, and shoppers compare.
  • A dedicated Black Friday page, fast, with the best offers on top and simple filters.
  • Clear terms: offer dates, delivery times by city, returns policy.
  • Payment methods visible on the product page.
  • Reassuring contact: a visible WhatsApp button and phone number.

Week 3: communication and orders

  • Tell existing customers (email, WhatsApp for those who opted in, social media).
  • Prepare answers to common questions (delivery, returns, sizes): an AI agent can handle them. See WhatsApp chatbot in Darija.
  • Organise confirmation of cash-on-delivery orders to limit refusals.
  • Coordinate with your courier to absorb the volume.

Costly mistakes

  • Changing the site or installing a plugin the day before.
  • Discounts on out-of-stock products.
  • An untested card payment.
  • Customer messages left unanswered during the peak.
