Thinking about opening your own store on MnBaladna, but want to see what it will look like first? That is exactly what Makhzan MnBaladna is for. It is our demo store: a sample supermarket, set up with real product pages and categories, that shows merchants how their own store on MnBaladna can look and work.

Please note: Makhzan MnBaladna is a demo store for demonstration purposes only, not a shop for real orders.

What is Makhzan MnBaladna?

Makhzan MnBaladna is a demonstration store run by MnBaladna. It is set up like a typical Arab supermarket, with categories such as Arabic sweets, cheese and labneh, beans and grains, beverages and cleaning products. It runs on its own web address, makhzn.mnbaladna.com, just as your store could, so you can click through it the way your customers would.

Why this matters for store owners

• See before you sign up. Get a realistic picture of your future store before you register.
• Understand the customer experience. Browse categories, open product pages and see how photos, descriptions and prices are shown.
• Plan your own catalogue. Use the demo as a reference for how to structure your categories and product information.
• See your own web address in action. Every merchant, on any plan including the commission-based option, gets its own webshop on a subdomain like makhzn.mnbaladna.com, or can connect its own domain.

What you can explore in the demo store

When you visit Makhzan MnBaladna, take a look at:

• The store homepage with categories and featured products.
• Product pages with photos, descriptions and prices, for example this demo product page.
• Language options: the store can be viewed in English, Arabic, Dutch and German, so your customers can shop in the language they prefer.
• The overall layout your customers will see on their phone or computer.

How to get your own store

1. Register on the MnBaladna vendor sign-up page and choose the plan that suits you: a commission-based, pay-as-you-sell option (commission varies by business type), or an annual subscription from €199 per year with a free 3-month trial. Compare them on the price plans page.
2. Complete your store page with your logo, cover image, address and opening hours.
3. Add your products by CSV upload, one by one, or from the ready-made product library. See how to add products to your store.

Frequently asked questions

Is Makhzan MnBaladna a real shop?

No. Makhzan MnBaladna is a demo store that shows how a store on MnBaladna looks. It is not a shop for real orders and not a supplier. Payments there run in test mode, so it is safe to explore: nothing you try in the demo is a real order or payment. To buy groceries, visit web.mnbaladna.com and choose a local store near you.

Can my store look like this?

Yes. Your store uses the same platform, with your own name, logo, products and prices. Every merchant gets a branded store page, a product catalogue, order and delivery management and a POS system. Restaurants, bakeries, butchers and other shops can all use the same setup.

Does MnBaladna supply products to stores?

No. Makhzan is only a demonstration. As a store owner, you sell your own products at your own prices.
