E-commerce Development in Saudi Arabia

Geexar designs and builds online stores for merchants in Saudi Arabia from our Riyadh office: single-brand stores, multi-vendor marketplaces, wholesale channels, and the mobile apps that go with them. Stores are bilingual, Arabic and English, and designed for the phone first, because that is where most Saudi shoppers buy.

An online store in the Kingdom has requirements a generic template does not cover: local payment methods, cash on delivery where your customers expect it, VAT-compliant invoices, national address fields, and delivery through carriers that serve your cities. We list these at the start of the project so they are in the scope, not discovered after launch.

Store design. Home, category, product, cart and checkout designed for conversion, in right-to-left Arabic and in English.

Catalogue and search. Product structure, variants, filters and search that let a customer find an item in a few taps.

Payments. Connection to a licensed payment gateway so customers can pay with the methods common in the Kingdom, such as mada, cards and Apple Pay.

Shipping and orders. Shipping rules by city, connection to your delivery partner where it offers an integration, order tracking and customer notifications.

Tax and invoices. VAT handling and invoices prepared with ZATCA e-invoicing requirements in mind; your accountant confirms the final setup.

Admin panel and training. Products, prices, offers and orders managed by your own staff, with a training session at handover.

We start by writing down what you sell, how you deliver, and which systems the store must connect to. The design of the key pages is approved before development. The store is then built on a staging address where you can add products and place test orders, payment and shipping are connected and tested end to end, and we launch once a real order has gone through cleanly. After launch, a support plan covers updates, backups and small changes.

Online stores are quoted on scope. The cost is set by the number of product types, the integrations, whether a mobile app or a wholesale channel is needed, and how much custom logic the store requires. Tell us what you sell through a free consultation and we will send a written scope and price. If you also need customers, see our e-commerce marketing service.

A hosted platform is the faster and cheaper way to start selling a simple catalogue. A custom store is worth it when you need something the platform cannot do: your own checkout logic, a marketplace with several sellers, wholesale pricing, deep integration with an ERP or warehouse, or a design that is fully yours. We will tell you honestly which side of that line you are on.

That depends on the payment gateway you contract with. Gateways operating in Saudi Arabia generally offer mada, credit cards and Apple Pay, and many offer instalment options. We connect the store to the gateway you choose and test every method before launch.

In general, a commercial registration or the appropriate licence for your activity, a bank account for the payment gateway, and a store that displays the business information the E-Commerce Law requires. We are not legal advisers, so confirm the details for your activity with the Ministry of Commerce.

Yes. Products, customers and order history are migrated, and old addresses are redirected to the new ones so that search rankings and saved links keep working.

Yes, when it makes sense. An app pays off for stores with repeat customers. It shares the same products and orders as the website. See mobile app development.
