Quick answer

Who builds e-commerce stores across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC?

Ijjad builds custom, Arabic-first e-commerce websites for SMEs, founders, and multi-country retailers across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the GCC. Payment, courier, invoicing, and operating integrations are selected after discovery and depend on merchant eligibility, provider coverage, approved accounts, technical access, and applicable obligations.

  • Payment routes selected from buyer demand, merchant eligibility, and provider access.
  • Tax and invoicing requirements validated with qualified advisers before implementation.
  • Custom stack only: Next.js storefronts with purpose-built checkout, CMS, payment, and operations integrations.
  • Staging and acceptance tests defined around the provider environments actually available.

How we ship stores

From catalog to a tested launch workflow

Provider access, staging availability, acceptance scenarios, and manual fallbacks are confirmed in the delivery plan.

  1. 1

    Discovery + catalog audit

    3-5 days

    We map catalog scale, target markets, payment rails (Mada / STC Pay / Tabby / ZainCash / COD), and ERP/courier integrations. If you have an existing store, we audit the catalog data quality first.

    Deliverable: Discovery doc + 24-hour proposal.

  2. 2

    Architecture + design

    1-2 weeks

    Custom architecture, design tokens, Arabic-first checkout UX, and per-country trust signals. Hosted platforms are not part of Ijjad delivery scope.

    Deliverable: Architecture plan + approved design.

  3. 3

    Build + provider integration

    Confirmed after access review

    Build the catalog, checkout, admin, and only the payment, invoicing, courier, or operations integrations approved in discovery. Provider onboarding, credentials, documentation, and test environments are tracked dependencies.

    Deliverable: Preview builds plus an agreed staging environment.

  4. 4

    QA + acceptance

    Defined in the delivery plan

    Test the agreed checkout, invoice, refund, failure, courier, and reconciliation scenarios with available provider environments. Provider certification or production approval remains controlled by that provider and is not promised by Ijjad.

    Deliverable: QA evidence, known limitations, and client acceptance record.

  5. 5

    Launch + 30-day ops

    1 week + ongoing

    DNS cutover, GA4 + e-commerce events live, daily WhatsApp during first 2 weeks, 30-day post-launch conversion baseline. Optional growth retainer stacks on top.

    Deliverable: Live store + 30-day delta report.

Typical end-to-end timeline: Confirmed after discovery and provider-access review

First-party testimonials

What retailers say after launch

These anonymized quotes are published by Ijjad. They are not native reviews from Google, Clutch, or another independent platform.

Ijjad replaced an unclear website with a focused experience that gives prospects a much clearer path to contact us. The team understood our regional market and kept the work tied to the business goal.
Business Owner, Riyadh
We needed a website and mobile app on a tight scope. Ijjad gave us a practical plan that made sense for a startup, and Karam stayed directly involved through the important decisions.
Startup Founder, Amman
Ijjad rebuilt the storefront around Mada checkout and a mobile-first customer flow. The result is easier for our team to manage and clearer for customers to use.
E-Commerce Manager, Jeddah
We launched our online catalog with cash-on-delivery and ZainCash in one checkout. The reconciliation dashboard gives our team a clearer way to manage orders, and the Arabic checkout feels native rather than translated.
Retail Founder, Baghdad
The trilingual MVP treated Sorani Kurdish as a first-class language from the start rather than an afterthought. Ijjad also kept the page weight small for customers accessing it outside Iraq.
SaaS Founder, Erbil
We needed governorate-level shipping rules, RFP-friendly service pages, and a site that loads well on mobile connections in southern Iraq. Ijjad delivered those requirements and walked our team through the cash-on-delivery operations before launch.
Logistics Operator, Basra

FAQ

E-commerce — the questions retailers actually ask

Which e-commerce stack does Ijjad build?

Ijjad only builds custom e-commerce websites and custom e-commerce systems. We do not build or configure Salla, Zid, Shopify, or WooCommerce stores. Hosted platforms can be useful for some merchants, but Ijjad is the fit when performance, ownership, SEO, checkout control, and integrations matter.

Do you integrate Mada, STC Pay, Tabby, Tamara, and ZATCA?

Those payment and invoicing flows can be scoped when they fit the merchant and market. Delivery depends on merchant eligibility, provider coverage, approved accounts, documentation, credentials, sandbox access, and the applicable tax and invoicing requirements. The merchant should validate legal and tax obligations with qualified advisers; Ijjad implements the approved technical requirements.

What about ZainCash, FastPay, COD for Iraqi e-commerce?

Wallet, card, and cash-on-delivery flows are selected from buyer demand, merchant eligibility, provider availability, settlement requirements, and courier operations. A named provider or real-time automation is included only after its current coverage, API, credentials, and test access are confirmed.

How long does an e-commerce build take?

Timeline depends on catalog and migration work, checkout and payment providers, shipping, tax and invoicing requirements, integrations, languages, content readiness, testing, and approvals. The proposal should state milestones, preview cadence, staging ownership, dependencies, and acceptance checks instead of promising a date from SKU count alone.

How does this page differ from the country-specific e-commerce pages?

This page is the multi-market hub. The Saudi page covers local checkout and invoicing dependencies, the Jordan page covers local and regional payment and courier access, and the Iraq page provides a payment-route discovery matrix. Use the country page when the launch is single-market.

Can you build a multi-vendor marketplace?

Yes, when discovery supports a custom marketplace. Scope can include vendor onboarding, commission rules, dashboards, customer-facing vendor pages, order routing, catalog governance, disputes, and settlement logic. The architecture depends on the catalog, operating model, integrations, risk, and ownership requirements.

What about post-launch &mdash; cart abandonment, retention, ad campaigns?

Abandoned-cart, email, SMS, loyalty, and retention workflows are added only when they fit the scope, consent requirements, provider access, and operating plan. Paid media is handled by specialist partners; Ijjad focuses on the storefront and measured on-site journey.

Do you handle inventory, warehouse, and logistics integrations?

Yes, when discovery supports them and the merchant or provider can supply suitable documentation, credentials, data, and test access. ERP, warehouse, and courier capabilities vary by account and geography, so rates, labels, tracking, returns, inventory, and manual fallbacks are confirmed before an integration is promised.
