If you’re planning to start selling online, Ramadan is the perfect time, as many types of businesses see a significant surge in demand during this season. You can easily set up your store using the Online Store feature in the Labamu app.
Just make sure to run your online business with commitment and consistency, so it can continue to grow in the months ahead — and possibly even until next year’s Ramadan.
Here are some online business ideas for Ramadan that could bring you significant profits to consider.
Online Business Ideas for Ramadan
1. Baking Ingredients
Eid al-Fitr is synonymous with a variety of cookies, such as nastar, kastengel, snow cookies, and more. This makes the baking ingredients business highly sought-after during Ramadan.
Since the beginning of Ramadan, many people have already started purchasing ingredients for baking cookies. Although the cookies are usually made around a week before Eid, bakers typically prepare the ingredients 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 above, cookies are a must-have in every home during Eid. If you’re skilled at making various types of cookies, you can start a business selling traditional Eid cookies now.
You can sell using a pre-order system, where customers order now and receive their cookies a few days before Eid, or you can sell several types of cookies that are ready in stock. If you accept pre-orders, make sure you can prepare and deliver them on time.

3. Cookie Jars
In addition to baking ingredients and cookies, you can also sell cookie jars. As the demand for cookies increases, the demand for cookie jars is likely to rise as well.
In addition to plastic jars, you can sell glass jars, which have a higher selling price. However, since they are fragile during shipping, make sure to package them securely — for example, by using bubble wrap or even wooden packaging.
4. Muslim Clothing
Eid is closely associated with Muslim clothing, as most people choose to wear these outfits on the holy day.
You can start selling Muslim clothing on your online store from the beginning of Ramadan, as many people prefer to buy their Eid outfits early to have a wider selection.
Make sure your online store offers a wide variety of Muslim clothing, including options for women, men, children, babies and toddlers, as well as matching outfits for couples or for parents and children.
5. Hijabs and Accessories
In addition to Muslim clothing, hijabs and their accessories are also in high demand during Ramadan leading up to Eid. You can sell various types of hijabs, from square scarves and pashminas to ready-to-wear or bergo-style hijabs.
Nowadays, many hijab suppliers offer the option to add your own brand to their products. This way, the hijabs you sell can look more exclusive.
6. Prayer Essentials
Many people like to have new prayer essentials for Eid, such as mukena, sarongs, and prayer mats. You can take advantage of this by selling them online.
In fact, you can combine these prayer essentials with Muslim clothing and hijabs in a single online store, giving customers more options and allowing them to shop for multiple items at once.
However, if you prefer to focus solely on selling prayer essentials, that’s perfectly fine. You can offer a variety of styles and options, ranging from affordable to premium prices.
7. Fruits
Fruit consumption increases during Ramadan, as more people prepare juices or fruit salads to enjoy after breaking their fast.
So, if you decide to sell fruits during this month, you are likely to earn significant profits.
Find the best fruit suppliers so you can sell high-quality fruits that keep customers coming back to your online store.
8. Ready-to-Cook Seasonings
Did you know that ready-to-cook seasonings are in high demand during Ramadan, especially as Eid approaches? This presents a great opportunity to sell them online.
You can purchase ready-made seasonings from the market, such as those for rendang, gulai, soto, soups, or even fried and grilled chicken, and then sell them online in your store.
Many mothers are likely to be interested in buying, as ready-to-cook seasonings are much more convenient to use.
9. Frozen Food
Frozen food is a go-to solution for busy mothers and people living alone, such as college students. This is because frozen food can be easily prepared into a variety of dishes according to personal taste.
You can either make various types of frozen food yourself or become a reseller of well-known frozen food brands. However, make sure to have a freezer at home so the frozen products last longer and stay fresh.
10. Cooked Dishes
Not everyone has extra time to cook during Ramadan, especially those who live alone, for whom cooking can feel impractical. You can take advantage of this by selling a variety of ready-to-eat dishes.
In addition to selling ready-to-eat dishes in the evening for iftar, you can also sell them during suhoor, as many people prefer not to cook at that time but still want warm, freshly prepared meals.
11. Iftar Snacks
While hunting for iftar snacks on the streets can be fun, many people simply don’t have the time to do so. This is where your online store comes in, offering a convenient option for purchasing snacks to break the fast.
The iftar snacks you can sell include fried foods, traditional wet cakes, and a variety of sweet drinks such as fruit cocktails and jelly drinks. However, make sure to use packaging that is safe for long-distance delivery to ensure the products reach your customers in perfect condition.
12. Hampers or Gift Parcels
The main difference between hampers and parcels is their size. Hampers tend to be larger because they usually contain many items in one big container, while parcels typically include just one or two items, making their packaging smaller.
Despite their differences, both hampers and parcels are popular during Ramadan and leading up to Eid. You can choose to sell just one of them or offer both.
Create several examples of beautiful hampers or parcels to serve as visual references for potential customers when they consider using your service.
13. Basic Food Packages
As they are basic necessities, the demand for these items is always high.
However, during Ramadan, basic food packages become even more in demand, as many people wish to share or give charity to those in need by providing these packages.
You can sell a variety of packages, ranging from small ones that include only sugar, instant noodles, tea, and coffee, to larger packages that also contain rice, syrup, and more.
14. Ketupat and Woven Coconut Leaf Holders
Ketupat is one of the essential dishes for Eid al-Fitr. Although many people still make it themselves, there are already plenty of services that prepare ketupat for sale.

If you can make delicious ketupat, you can set up an online store selling them specifically for the upcoming Eid celebration. You can sell them individually or offer special promotions for bulk purchases, such as 10, 20, 30 pieces, and so on.
In addition, you can sell high-quality woven ketupat leaves for those who still want to make their own ketupat.
15. Kurma
Ramadan wouldn’t feel complete without consuming dates. Although this traditional Middle Eastern food is available year-round, its consumption significantly increases during the fasting month.
You can sell a variety of dates that are popular among many people, such as Sukari, Medjool, Ajwa, or even the premium-priced Prophet’s dates.
