e-commerce
across the Kingdom
E-commerce & Retail in Saudi Arabia is being rewritten by Vision 2030 — and the operators that come out ahead are the ones with software that integrates with the local stack (Mada, Nafath, ZATCA, Salla / Zid, WhatsApp Business) instead of fighting it.

The e-commerce problem.
Salla and Zid don't scale past SAR 5M/yr — serious merchants need a custom stack with Tabby, Tamara, Mada, ZATCA and ERP sync.

How a e-commerce engagement runs.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute discovery call to scope the problem, then a fixed-price proposal with milestones. No retainers, no surprise invoices.
e-commerce in major Saudi cities
Local Saudi stack wired in by default
Every Saudi engagement ships with the local payment, compliance and identity rails integrated from day one — no surprise vendor selection at the end of the build. Saudi operators expect Mada + Apple Pay as the default checkout, Tabby and Tamara as BNPL options, ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing on every invoice, and Arabic-first UX with proper RTL — and that's exactly what gets delivered.
Why Saudi operators choose e-commerce builds
- Senior delivery — the engineer who scopes the work is the same one who ships it. No junior hand-offs, no agency layers, no account managers between you and code.
- Fixed SAR pricing per milestone — invoiced in SAR for KSA entities, with ZATCA-compliant tax invoices end-to-end. No surprise change-orders, no time-and-materials drift.
- Saudi rails by default — Mada, Tabby, Tamara, STC Pay, ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing, Nafath SSO and bilingual EN/AR with proper RTL are part of the base scope, not phase 2 upsells.
- KSA business week — Sun–Thu working pattern, WhatsApp-first communication on +44 7782 267774, and async standups that respect Riyadh time. Most operators get a same-day response inside business hours.
- Full code + IP transfer on completion — production-grade Next.js / Postgres stack, documented, in your GitHub, with deployment that you own. No vendor lock-in.
