## About

Open-source ERP platform covering CRM, accounting, inventory, HR, and sales

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, verified in February 2026: the website and account login work, but free trials are rejected and Enterprise purchases are blocked. The team contacted Odoo in April 2026, and the company replied that the matter is under internal review, attributing the block largely to banking partners refusing payments from Syria. A later note reports an Odoo advisor signaling openness to the Syrian market, but this is not yet verified.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-23 — Note. An Odoo Regional Business Advisor publicly announced on LinkedIn that Odoo is now officially open to be implemented in Syria. The post described the Syrian market as one of Odoo's key focus areas and indicated readiness to support Syrian businesses in their digital transformation. The announcement is significant given the banking-partner restrictions reported on 10 April, but has not yet been verified by end-to-end testing of trial signups, Enterprise purchases, or payments from Syria — pending retest before updating the public blocking status.

- 2026-04-10 — Note. A community member reported that an Odoo representative indicated the company faces banking-level restrictions on processing payments from Syria, citing banking partners such as Citibank as a barrier beyond Odoo's direct control. The bank's legal department is reportedly reviewing the matter. This report was submitted without supporting evidence.
- 2026-04-10 — Note. A community volunteer shared an update on Odoo's Syria access status after personally contacting Odoo management. The volunteer confirmed that the blockage is a compliance and internal policy issue rather than a technical one, requiring escalation to higher decision-making levels within Odoo. Syrian businesses are currently unable to purchase Odoo Enterprise despite active large-scale projects including one with approximately 500 users, forcing reliance on the community edition only. A direct quote attributed to an Odoo representative states that the primary roadblock is that Odoo's banking partners are blocking payments from Syria, making resolution not entirely within Odoo's control.
- 2026-04-06 — Company Responded. Odoo's support team responded to the unblocking outreach via albe@odoo.com. The reply confirmed that the topic is still under internal review at higher levels within Odoo, that the support team does not control this policy, and that at this time the restriction has not been lifted with no timeline available for when or if it would be. The response was a genuine human reply rather than an automated acknowledgment, and noted that the feedback has been communicated to the internal teams responsible for policy decisions.
- 2026-04-04 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer sent outreach emails to Odoo's support and privacy teams at support@odoo.com and privacy@odoo.com requesting a formal compliance review to enable access for users in Syria. The emails highlighted the commercial opportunity for Odoo in Syria's rebuilding market, noting growing demand for ERP systems among Syrian SMEs. The volunteer cited both the U.S. Treasury sanctions lift and the EU adoption of legislation lifting economic sanctions, with attached official documentation from both authorities.
- 2026-02-17 — Verified. Community testing from inside Syria reveals Odoo has mixed accessibility. The main website (odoo.com) loads fully, and account creation/login works with Syria set as the location. However, the free trial was rejected — the rejection page suggests possible causes including VPN/proxy use. Odoo's AI support bot confirmed there is no explicit block on Syrian users in their policies. Some localized features (e-invoicing, payroll, e-signatures) may not be available for Syria. Status confirmed as limited.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
