For those looking to start an online business, Ramadan is the perfect time, as many types of businesses thrive during this month. You can use the Online Store feature in the Labamu app to set up your business easily.

Make sure to run your online business with dedication so that it can sustain beyond Ramadan—even until the next fasting month.

Here are some profitable online business ideas for Ramadan that you might want to consider.

Online Business Ideas for Ramadan

1. Baking Ingredients

Eid al-Fitr is synonymous with various types of cookies, such as nastar, kastengel, snow cookies, and more. This makes the business of selling baking ingredients highly profitable during Ramadan.

From the beginning of the fasting month, many people start stocking up on ingredients for making cookies. Even though cookies are usually baked around a week before Eid, bakers tend to prepare their ingredients well in advance.

Moreover, as Eid approaches, the prices of baking ingredients tend to rise, allowing you to earn even greater profits.

2. Cookies

As mentioned earlier, cookies are a must-have in every home during Eid. If you’re skilled at baking, you can start a business selling traditional Eid cookies.

You can sell them through a pre-order system, allowing customers to order in advance for delivery a few days before Eid. Alternatively, you can also offer ready-stock cookies for immediate purchase. If you choose the pre-order system, ensure that you can fulfill and deliver orders on time.

3. Cookie Jars

In addition to baking ingredients and cookies themselves, selling cookie jars can also be a profitable business. As the demand for cookies rises, so does the need for cookie jars.

Besides plastic jars, you can offer glass jars, which have a higher selling price. However, since they are fragile and prone to breaking during shipping, make sure to pack them securely. Use bubble wrap or even wooden packaging for extra protection.

4. Muslim Clothing

Eid is closely associated with Muslim clothing, as most people prefer to wear traditional attire on this sacred day.

You can start selling Muslim clothing online from the beginning of Ramadan, as many shoppers prefer to buy their Eid outfits early to have a wider selection.

Make sure your online store offers a variety of options, including clothing for women, men, children, babies, and toddlers. You can also sell matching outfits for couples, as well as coordinated sets for parents and children.

5. Hijabs and Accessories

In addition to Muslim clothing, hijabs and their accessories are also in high demand throughout Ramadan and leading up to Eid. You can sell various types of hijabs, including square hijabs, pashminas, and instant hijabs (bergo).

Many hijab suppliers now offer private labeling services, allowing you to brand the hijabs with your own logo. This can make your products appear more exclusive and help establish your brand in the market.

6. Prayer Essentials

Many people prefer to have new prayer essentials for Eid, such as prayer mats, mukenas (women’s prayer garments), and sarongs. This creates a great opportunity for you to sell these items online.

You can combine prayer essentials with Muslim clothing and hijabs in one online store, allowing customers to find everything they need in one place. This can encourage them to purchase multiple items from your shop.

Alternatively, if you want to focus solely on prayer essentials, that works too! Offering a variety of styles and price ranges—from budget-friendly to premium—can attract a wider audience.

7. Fruits

Fruit consumption tends to rise during Ramadan as more people prepare fresh juices or fruit salads (sop buah) for iftar.

If you choose to sell fruits this month, there's a high chance of making a good profit.

Make sure to find a reliable supplier that provides high-quality fruits, ensuring customer satisfaction and repeat purchases from your online store.

8. Ready-to-Use Cooking Spices

Did you know that pre-made or ready-to-use cooking spices sell like hotcakes during Ramadan, especially as Eid approaches? This presents a great opportunity for you to sell them online.

You can source ready-made spice blends from local markets, such as rendang, gulai, soto, soup, or even fried and grilled chicken seasonings, and offer them in your online store.

Many homemakers will likely be interested in purchasing these spices since they make cooking much more convenient.

9. Frozen Food

Frozen food is a lifesaver for busy moms and individuals living alone, such as college students or workers in dorms. Its convenience makes it a go-to choice for preparing various meals quickly and easily.

You can either produce your own frozen food products or become a reseller of well-known frozen food brands. However, make sure to have a proper freezer at home to keep your products fresh and prevent spoilage.

10. Ready-to-Eat Meals

Not everyone has the time to cook during Ramadan, especially those who live alone, as cooking for themselves may feel impractical. You can take advantage of this opportunity by selling a variety of ready-to-eat meals.

Besides offering meals in the evening for iftar, you can also sell them during suhoor. Many people prefer freshly made, warm food for suhoor but may not have the energy to cook early in the morning.

11. Takjil (Iftar Snacks)

While hunting for iftar snacks on the streets is fun, many people don’t have the time to do so. This is where your online store can come in handy, offering a convenient way to buy takjil for breaking their fast.

Some popular takjil options you can sell include fried snacks, traditional wet cakes, and various sweet beverages like fruit ice and jelly drinks. However, make sure to use secure packaging that keeps the food intact during delivery.

12. Hampers or Gift Parcels

The main difference between hampers and gift parcels is their size. Hampers tend to be larger since they usually contain multiple items in a big package, while gift parcels typically include one or two items in a smaller package.

Despite their differences, both hampers and gift parcels are highly sought-after during Ramadan and ahead of Eid. You can choose to sell just one or offer both to cater to different customer preferences.

Create some attractive sample hampers or parcels to showcase your offerings, making it easier for potential buyers to visualize their orders.

13. Basic Necessities Package

As essential goods, basic necessities are always in high demand.

However, during Ramadan, their sales skyrocket as many people choose to give back by donating food packages to those in need.

You can offer various package options, from small bundles containing sugar, instant noodles, tea, and coffee to larger packages that include rice, syrup, and other essentials.

14. Ketupat and Woven Wrappers

Ketupat is a must-have dish during Eid al-Fitr. While many people still make their own, there are now plenty of services that offer ready-made ketupat.

If you can make delicious ketupat, consider opening an online store selling them specifically for the holiday. You can sell them individually or offer special discounts for bulk purchases (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 pieces).

Additionally, you can sell high-quality woven ketupat wrappers for those who prefer to make their own from scratch.

15. Dates

Ramadan wouldn’t feel complete without consuming dates. Although this Middle Eastern delicacy is available year-round, its demand significantly increases during the holy month.

You can sell various popular types of dates, such as Sukari dates, Medjool dates, Ajwa dates, or even the highly sought-after Prophet’s dates, which come at a premium price.
