Meet the teamEach market asks something different of a Shopify build. These pages cover what changes, country by country.
Selling in more than one GCC country is rarely one store with four currencies. These are the decisions that shape the build, and where each country differs.
Structure
Shopify Markets, available on every Shopify plan, lets one store sell to several countries with their own currency and prices. Separate stores make sense when catalogues, operations or legal entities genuinely differ. We settle this in discovery, because it is expensive to change later.
Payments
Shopify Payments is available to UAE-based stores on the Advanced and Plus plans. Stores based in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Qatar use third-party payment providers, and the provider decides which local methods the checkout offers. That makes the gateway an architecture decision, not a setting.
Tax
Saudi Arabia charges VAT at 15% and requires e-invoicing through ZATCA. The UAE charges VAT at 5% and is introducing e-invoicing for business-to-business transactions from January 2027. Kuwait and Qatar do not currently levy VAT. Where invoices are regulated, they usually come from your ERP or an e-invoicing provider, and the store has to hand over complete order and tax data.
Currencies
The Saudi riyal, UAE dirham and Qatari riyal use two decimal places; the Kuwaiti dinar uses three. Price display, rounding, discounts and ERP sync need testing in the theme and in every app that touches a price.
Cross-border
Shopify Managed Markets, which acts as merchant of record for cross-border sales, is not available to merchants based in the GCC. Cross-border pricing, duties and returns are designed with your payment and logistics partners rather than switched on.
Shopify is the platform; the work is making it fit how your business sells, invoices and grows across markets.
Shopify Markets set up for the countries you sell to, with the right currencies, prices and catalogues, so one team can run the region.

Maintenance and Support serviceOur case studies are from Canadian clients. We show them here for the problems they solved, which are the same problems a business selling across the Gulf has to solve.
A full rebuild of a Canadian stationery distributor’s store: a new identity, collections by category and brand, a complete wholesale journey, and three languages.
One store serving trade and retail customers in three languages, organised by category and by brand: the same structural problem as one store serving several Gulf markets.

Our team works from Markham, Ontario. We hold calls in the daily overlap between Toronto mornings and Gulf afternoons, and keep work visible in writing between them.
We review your store, systems, data and goals, and agree in writing what the project must achieve before anything is designed.
Store structure, markets, integrations and data flows are mapped and signed off, so design and development build on decisions rather than assumptions.
The templates that carry your revenue are designed in Figma for desktop and mobile, and approved before development begins.
Theme, apps and integrations are developed on a staging copy of your store, which you review as the work progresses.
Data migration, redirects and quality checks come before a monitored go-live, planned around your trading calendar.
After launch, the same team continues on an ongoing plan: improvements, new features and support.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar take their weekend on Friday and Saturday, and the UAE federal government works Monday to Friday. Standing calls therefore fall on Monday to Thursday, when every market and Toronto are at work.
We would rather tell you now than halfway through a project. This is where we are, and are not, the right partner.
