Shopify for Riyadh brands,
Arabic-first from the first screen.
Saudi Arabia is the region’s largest e-commerce market, and Riyadh buyers are mobile-first and Arabic-first. A store that feels translated loses them. We build Saudi storefronts from the UAE, designed in Arabic from the start and set up for Saudi payments and tax.

What does a Riyadh brand need from a Shopify store?
An Arabic-first, mobile-first design; mada, Apple Pay, Tabby and Tamara at checkout; prices in SAR including 15% VAT; invoicing that meets ZATCA e-invoicing rules; and couriers with strong coverage across the Kingdom. ZaadCore builds these stores from the UAE and works with Saudi teams online.

Questions Riyadh:
Riyadh:
common questions.
Can a UAE agency build a Shopify store for a Saudi company?
Yes. The store belongs to your Saudi company, with your payment accounts and couriers. We build and support it from the UAE, working online with your team.
Does Shopify support mada payments?
Yes, through payment gateways that offer mada on Shopify. We choose and test the gateway for your business, alongside Apple Pay and credit cards.
Is a Shopify store compliant with ZATCA e-invoicing?
Shopify itself does not issue ZATCA e-invoices; they come from a compliant invoicing solution connected to the store. We confirm and connect the right one as part of the project.
Which couriers work with Shopify in Saudi Arabia?
Major carriers such as SMSA, Aramex and others connect through Shopify apps or APIs. We set up those you already have accounts with, including COD collection.
