Market context
Online buying in Afghanistan runs mostly through phones, classifieds and social media rather than full online stores. Listings, news and ads appear in Dari and Pashto, often with English alongside, and prices are quoted in afghanis (AFN). Cash on delivery settles most orders, and mobile money such as Roshan's M-Paisa and the HesabPay wallet covers much of the rest, since PayPal and Stripe do not support Afghan accounts. Most people go online through mobile data from operators such as Roshan, AWCC and state-owned Salaam, so pages are best reviewed in their mobile versions.
Leelam.af is the largest classifieds marketplace, listing used cars, phones, electronics, rentals and jobs by city, which makes it the practical source for comparing asking prices in Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar. Ad checks usually centre on domestic news sites such as TOLOnews, Pajhwok Afghan News and Ariana News, and on Facebook, where many shops sell through pages instead of their own websites. Google is the search engine in everyday use, for Dari and Pashto queries in Arabic script as well as for English ones.
Connectivity is the main practical constraint. Fibre internet was cut province by province from mid-September 2025, and internet and mobile data went down nationwide for about 48 hours from 29 September to 1 October 2025, so scheduled monitoring should expect gaps and retry rather than read missing pages as a change in the market. Afghanistan has no general data-protection law.
Domestic flights stand in for long road journeys between Afghan cities, so airfares are the clearest travel prices to compare. Kam Air links Kabul with Herat, Kandahar, Mazar-i-Sharif and Khost, and flies abroad to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Jeddah, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait, Islamabad, Delhi and Tashkent, while the state-owned Ariana Afghan Airlines serves several of the same cities. Demand on the Saudi routes rises around the Hajj and Umrah seasons, so fares to Jeddah and Riyadh follow the religious calendar rather than school holidays. Checking airline sites from inside Afghanistan shows which fares, currencies and payment options local buyers are offered for these routes.
Measured
Measured from our gateway in the Netherlands. Results describe the test, not a reserved exit, city or network. How we measure
In Afghanistan: Check how display and sponsored placements render for Afghan visitors on TOLOnews, Pajhwok Afghan News and Ariana News, and confirm Dari and Pashto creatives show the right script and landing page.
Ad verification proxies in AfghanistanIn Afghanistan: Track asking prices for used cars, phones and rentals on Leelam.af across Kabul, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif, useful for cost-of-living and humanitarian price monitoring where official retail data is thin.
Market research proxiesIn Afghanistan: Review how Dari and Pashto Facebook pages, posts and ads appear to viewers inside Afghanistan, where many shops and service businesses sell through Facebook instead of their own websites.

print(response.json())Most orders are paid in cash when the courier arrives. Mobile money is the main digital option: Roshan's M-Paisa and the HesabPay wallet let people pay and send money from a phone without a bank card, with amounts in afghanis (AFN). PayPal and Stripe do not support Afghan accounts, so card-only checkouts leave most local buyers without a way to pay. When reviewing a checkout for Afghan visitors, confirm which of these options actually appear.
Start with Leelam.af, the largest classifieds site, which lists cars, phones, electronics, property and jobs by city, so asking prices in Kabul and Herat can be compared directly. For ad placement, check TOLOnews, Pajhwok Afghan News and Ariana News in both Dari and Pashto. Many sellers work only through Facebook pages. Plan for outages: internet and mobile data were cut nationwide for about 48 hours in late September 2025.
Usually both, weighted by region. Dari is the common language of Kabul, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif and of most business content online, while Pashto dominates in the south and east, including Kandahar, Jalalabad and Khost. Both use Arabic script, but spelling and vocabulary differ, so keywords and ad copy should be written separately for each language. Check each version from inside the country to see which language local results favour.
