Companies Using eNamad

I pulled eNamad from our October 2026 crawl expecting a security product, because that's where our category tree puts it. It isn't one. eNamad is the trust seal Iran's government issues to online businesses, and the count shows which sites hold the licence a shop needs before it can take card payments online. A domain counts when a page links to or loads an image from a *.enamad.ir address, uses eNamad's widget, or carries the meta tag eNamad uses to check domain ownership. That gives 26,579 domains in October, 8,084 of them matched to a company.

A payment licence in a security category

The seal comes from the Center for e-Commerce Development under the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade. Zarinpal's guide says Central Bank and Shaparak rules don't allow an internet payment gateway without it, and Persian Wikipedia says payment providers have to check it before issuing one. So the seal sits in front of the payment step. It doesn't test a site's security. In our table it ranks 2nd of 17 in Security Testing & Compliance with 20.76%, behind KnowBe4's DNS verification records, and the ranking says more about the category than about eNamad.

Sales signal: a domain showing the seal belongs to a business that passed identity, phone and address checks and qualifies for a payment gateway. For Iranian payment, logistics or hosting firms, that's a qualified list. Sellers outside Iran should check what sanctions rules allow before contacting anyone on it.

What the count measures

I reopened a random sample of 200 domains. 186 loaded from outside Iran, and 160 of those 186 showed a seal link to trustseal.enamad.ir. Eleven carried only the ownership meta tag, which eNamad offers next to an email code or an uploaded file (a guide from Tashilgostar shows the format). The other 15 showed no seal link or ownership tag in their raw HTML, some of them JavaScript-built pages. Seal ids are per business, so I read them too: 234 ids on 233 domains, counting the top companies, and no id sat on two unrelated sites.

Checking each seal against eNamad itself was harder. The record pages on trustseal.enamad.ir didn't answer from outside Iran. So I compared ids with a public copy of eNamad's register from June 2026. 47 of the 160 sampled seals match that domain's entry, all valid into 2027 or later, and 3 more match the same business on a sister domain. The other 110 aren't in the copy, which is incomplete: Cafe Bazaar and Saman Electronic Payment show seals but are missing from it.

"Our category tree files eNamad next to vulnerability scanners. The count is a list of Iranian sites that passed a government identity check and are allowed a payment gateway." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: treat this as a list of seal holders, not of verified-current licences. About one domain in 17 in our sample carried only the ownership tag.

The rise is on our side

The chart reads 6,075 in June, 20,404 in July, 22,697 in August, 24,330 in September and 26,579 in October. Most of that rise is on our side. The domains we crawl turn over every month, with dead sites leaving and new ones arriving, and our detection widened while our coverage of Iranian hosts filled in. The steadier fact is persistence: 95.64% of live domains were detected again in the 45 days before our data date.

Sales signal: size Iran's seal-holding online sellers at roughly 26,000 domains in our crawl. Don't pitch it as a fast-growing segment on this chart.

Small companies, big names on top

43.17% of matched companies have 1 to 10 staff and 33.79% have 11 to 50. The 2010s account for 46.42% of known founding years and the 2020s for 23.02%. The top of the named list reads like a map of Iran's consumer internet: Digikala, Divar, Cafe Bazaar, Tapsi, Snapp and Faradars. Telecoms show the seal on business sites (Irancell, Hamrahe Aval), and universities such as Isfahan, Yazd and Tabriz carry it too. Payment providers display it as well, among them Saman Electronic Payment, Parsian E-Commerce and Irankish.

Sales signal: the enterprise rows are few, 173 companies above 1,000 staff, but the named ones are the gateways, telcos and platforms small merchants depend on. Partnerships start there.

Almost entirely Iran

6,067 of the 8,084 matched companies are based in Iran. The United States has 66 and the United Arab Emirates 42, and some foreign rows are LinkedIn location errors. Industry is flat: IT services lead at 5.11%, retail is 4.41%, financial services 3.28% and education 2.70%. No sector dominates, which fits a licence that every Iranian business taking payments online needs.

Sales signal: segment by industry, not country. Education and e-learning (1.92%) and travel (1.65%) are distinct pockets inside a single national market.

Drops and dead sites

Since March 2026, 2,495 domains have dropped eNamad, and 223 of them still show it on another hostname. I also tested the 1,188 live domains we hadn't detected again in 45 days. 313 no longer resolve, 92 return a suspended or missing-page code, and 129 load without the seal. That's 534 domains, 1.96% of the live list, still counted until our crawl reaches them again. Another 287 timed out or refused us, which can mean a dead site or one that blocks foreign visitors, and 367 still show the seal.

"When an Iranian shop drops eNamad, it isn't moving to a rival seal. No other badge gets it a payment gateway." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: refresh this list before outreach. About 2% of rows are dead or have removed the seal.

The stack around it

WordPress runs on 59.37% of live eNamad domains and Elementor on 44.36%. Logo Manager For Enamad, a WordPress plugin for placing the seal, lists 5,000+ active installations. ArvanCloud (9.59%) beats Cloudflare (7.17%), Google Analytics is on 32.93%, and consent tools are close to zero (Complianz 0.05%). The two-star seal needs a valid SSL certificate, which our HTTPS adoption analysis tracks across the wider web. Samandehi, a separate registration badge, appeared on 41 of the 186 sampled pages that loaded.

Sales signal: WordPress agencies, hosting firms and CDNs selling inside Iran will find their buyers here.

What it costs

Zarinpal's June 2026 guide puts the issuing fee at about 175,000 toman plus about 20,000 toman for the postal address check. For a shop, the alternative is no payment gateway at all.

Sales signal: price won't be the objection.

Key takeaways

1. 26,579 domains show eNamad in October 2026, a licence count rather than a security-tool count.

2. 160 of 186 sampled pages showed a seal link; no seal id was shared by unrelated sites.

3. 6,067 of 8,084 matched companies are Iranian, and 76.96% have 50 staff or fewer.

4. About 1.96% of live domains are dead or have removed the seal.

How to use this list
