Your store is set up for Tunisia
When you choose Tunisia at sign-up, Omniterra sets your currency to TND, your time zone to Africa/Tunis and your storefront language to Arabic. Everything can be changed later.
Taxes
19% standard tax is preset, and prices include tax, as shoppers in Tunisia expect. You can change the rate and the tax display at any time.
Payments
Cash on delivery is a common way to pay in Tunisia, so it is switched on by default — with optional COD fees, order limits, regions where it is not offered, a “Refused on delivery” status and COD Guard, which scores every COD order for risk.
Card payments work through your own Stripe or PayPal account where they are available, with card fields, Apple Pay and Google Pay directly in your checkout. Bank transfer is built in, and there is no commission from us on any sale.
Shipping and couriers
Couriers commonly used in Tunisia are ready in your admin — DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, DPD, GLS — with tracking links filled in where we know the format. Add your own rates, free-shipping threshold and local carriers.
Checkout that feels local
The address form skips the region field, which is not used for addresses here, and phone numbers are checked against the +216 format.
