Simple Process
How KraftSouq Works

Discover Skilled Artisans

Secure Payment with Protected Settlement
Pay safely using Visa, Mastercard, Thawani Pay, or Flutterwave. Your funds are conditionally held and only released to the artisan after service confirmation.
Confirm Service & Rate
Review the completed work, confirm satisfaction, and release payment. Rate your artisan to build community trust and help others make informed decisions.

Real Stories
Trusted by Communities
From Muscat to Nizwa — hear from customers, artisans, and community leaders across Oman.
“I hired a plumber through KraftSouq and was impressed — the artisan arrived on time, did quality work, and I only released payment after I was 100% satisfied. That's how it should always work.”
Fatima Al-Balushi
Homeowner, Muscat
“As an electrician, I was tired of chasing payments. KraftSouq guarantees I get paid once the job is confirmed — no more awkward conversations with customers. My income is now predictable.”
Khalid Al-Harthi
