Electronic Commerce is still not a popular venue in Jordan. There is not much information to be found on the operation of e-commerce in Jordan as a sector. However, there are websites that are starting to engage in e-commerce. The industry is expect to expand after the passing of the Electronic Transactions Law (discussed in more details in IT Legal Environment). The following are three examples of E-Commerce websites (note how the three websites are not registered as .jo but rather registered as a regular .com):
Zalatimo Sweets (URL: http://www.zalatimosweets.com)
Mazaiic (URL: http://www.mazaiic.com)
JorMall (URL: http://www.jormall.com)
Zalatimo Sweets and Mazaiic.com offer full e-commerce capabilities. Both websites contain shopping carts were customers can choose which products they want to buy. Both websites accept major credit cards and use Aramax for delivery. The websites deliver worldwide as well as domestically. Zalatimo Sweets is a producer and seller of Arabic sweets. Mazaiic.com is a reseller of antiques and crafts. Antique stores and Arabic Stores are two potentially very successful international e-commerce websites because they offer a product that would not be available anywhere else in the world. The antique stores in Jordan receive many tourists as customers and with the current slowdown in tourism the e-commerce option may prove successful.
JorMall website is a new website and is still not fully operational. It is designed so that local companies can sign up with it and use it as an e-commerce gateway to their stores. JorMall takes care of everything from online transactions to website designs. It is a virtual mall that is intended to be an easier way for businesses to get on the web and have their websites managed.
