How long does a delivery app take?
A practical first version with all four parts usually takes 3 to 5 months. We recommend launching in one city and one merchant category, then expanding once demand is proven.
If your company is a courier serving other shops, the better fit is courier and delivery company software in Iraq, with cash collection and settlement with merchants.
How do FIB, ZainCash, Qi and delivery integrations work?
We start with the merchant account and provider requirements, then test payment creation and status verification before updating the order. Courier integration depends on its available interface, while payment and delivery fees are listed separately from store or app development.
FIB provides a web-payment integration with sandbox testing and production access requests; see the official FIB documentation. ZainCash provides transaction-status verification through its payment gateway; see the official ZainCash guide.
Qi capabilities and terms are confirmed with the provider before commitment. A customer returning to a success page alone is not proof of payment. Cash on delivery remains an option for your business.
