A Shopify developer for Saudi Arabia
Arabic-first Shopify stores for one of the fastest-growing ecommerce markets in the region.
Arabic first, not Arabic as an afterthought
Saudi shoppers expect an Arabic storefront that reads naturally, local cards like mada at checkout, and delivery to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam in days. Stores that start in English and bolt on Arabic later usually end up with broken layouts and a checkout that feels foreign.
I build Saudi stores Arabic-first, with English as the second language, and set up payments and invoicing for local rules. Related: SaaS developer in Saudi Arabia and Shopify Markets.
What Saudi stores need to get right
- Arabic-first design — right-to-left layouts, Arabic fonts and copy written for Saudi shoppers.
- Local payments — mada, STC Pay, Apple Pay, Tabby and Tamara through a supported gateway.
- Delivery partners — SMSA, Aramex and regional couriers with city-level delivery times.
- VAT and e-invoicing — 15% VAT and invoices set up to support ZATCA e-invoicing through the right app or ERP.
- Selling from the UAE — if your business is in the UAE, a Saudi market with SAR prices and cross-border duties handled.
- Ramadan and White Friday — campaign pages and a store that holds up under seasonal peaks.
