Daftra or Dashing: which one fits your shop?
Daftra is a cloud suite for the Gulf and Egypt. Dashing fits a one-branch shop, especially in Iraq: the cashier works offline on every plan including the free one, Kurdish is built in, and you start at no cost with a flat yearly price if you outgrow it.
Where Dashing is better
Offline selling and the books are in the free plan, not behind the top tier. Kurdish exists. The Basic plan of Daftra caps invoices at 100 a month; Dashing never caps selling. Daftra charges extra per user, branch and warehouse; Dashing's free plan has unlimited users, and the yearly plan is one flat price. Debt statements go to the customer as a WhatsApp link in one tap.

Common questions
Does Daftra work in Iraq?
Its pages carry Iraq WhatsApp lines, but we found no Iraq tax or currency handling on its site (2026-10).
Is Dashing really free?
Yes, for one branch, with no card and no expiry. It is not a trial. A second branch needs the yearly plan.

Both, but Daftra only on Premium; Dashing on every plan.
