Because of the Africa’s highest Internet penetration rate, eCommerce is small but growing in Morocco. On a global scale, mobile phone are being more and more widely used for digital purchases. One major hurdle, however, is a lack of online payment systems. There is a high instance of credit card fraud in Morocco and several U.S. companies have blocked access to Moroccan Internet Service Providers (ISP). Most transactions made online in Morocco still have the payment executed offline. Restrictions on outbound hard currency cash flows also limit international purchases. Internet payment systems such as PayPal are available.

International e-commerce sales potential
Selling in Morocco is worth considering for many international e-commerce sellers. A well thought out international sales strategy should help you overcome the initial burden of translating and localizing your online store.
If you’re a global online merchant already exporting to Morocco, you may be happy with your sales figures. However, you may have noticed that your Moroccan, and your international traffic in general, converts at a much lower conversion rate than your domestic traffic, even in markets that share the same language. The likely reason being, many of the components of localization, beyond translation alone, have not been optimized.
Currently, international online retailers must do a great deal of manual work, matching product categories, attributes, sizes, etc. It’s not uncommon for them to not even be sure if they’re doing it correctly. Instead, trying to localize their online stores by themselves, e-commerce sellers find it time-consuming and confusing.
Luckily, thanks to the developments in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), online merchants don’t have to spend a lot of time on e-commerce translation & localization when launching your stores abroad. Combining machines’ capabilities and the intelligence of the human brain is often the easiest and fastest way to make the most of your international sales potential in Morocco.
