Can you convert my existing Shopify store to support Arabic?

Yes. We can add proper RTL Arabic support to your existing store — but depending on your theme, it might be faster and cleaner to rebuild key sections rather than patch them. We'll audit your store and recommend the most cost-effective approach.

Do you integrate Tabby and Tamara for buy-now-pay-later?

Absolutely. BNPL is a major conversion driver in the GCC — especially in Saudi Arabia. We integrate Tabby, Tamara, and other local payment options and place them where they actually influence the purchase decision, not buried in the footer.

How long does a Shopify build take for the Middle East?

A new custom Shopify store typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A theme-based build with MENA customizations can be done in 2-4 weeks. We'll scope it properly before we start — no surprises.

Do you only build Shopify stores or do you also handle marketing?

We do both — and that's the point. Most Shopify agencies build your store and hand you the keys. We build the store and then drive traffic to it, set up email flows, run ads, and optimize for conversions. The store is the foundation. Growth is the goal.

What about Shopify Plus for high-volume MENA brands?

We work with Shopify Plus for brands that need advanced checkout customization, multi-currency support, and higher API limits. If you're doing significant volume across multiple GCC markets, Plus is usually the right move — and we'll tell you honestly if you're not there yet.

Shopify Experts for MENA eCommerce

The Shopify Agency That Builds Stores for How the Middle East Actually Shops

A luxury skincare brand in Riyadh launched their Shopify store with a beautiful theme from the Shopify marketplace. English-only. No RTL support. No Tabby. No COD option. No Arabic product descriptions. They spent AED 120K on Meta ads driving traffic to a store that was essentially broken for 60% of their target audience. Conversion rate? 0.4%. They came to us after three months of bleeding money.

That's the picture most Shopify stores in the Middle East face — built with global templates that don't account for how MENA shoppers actually buy.

The promise: we build Shopify stores specifically for Middle Eastern commerce. Arabic RTL that actually works. Tabby and Tamara BNPL at checkout. COD workflows that reduce failure rates. Mobile-first design — because over 80% of MENA eCommerce happens on phones. And conversion optimization based on how your customers behave, not how American shoppers do.

The proof: 150+ eCommerce clients across the GCC, $23M+ in revenue driven, and stores that convert at 2-4x the rate of generic Shopify templates in the region.

The push: every day your store isn't optimized for the Middle East, you're paying for traffic that bounces. That skincare brand? After we rebuilt their store, conversion rate hit 2.8% in 60 days. Same traffic, 7x more sales.

What we do for Middle East brands

Arabic RTL Shopify Builds

We build Shopify stores with proper right-to-left Arabic support — not hacked CSS overrides, but structural RTL that works on every page, every device, and every theme section.

MENA Payment Gateway Integration

Tabby, Tamara, Apple Pay, COD, and local card processors — all integrated and tested. We set up payment options based on what your specific market expects at checkout.

Mobile-First Conversion Optimization

Over 80% of MENA eCommerce traffic is mobile. We design every element for thumb-friendly navigation, fast load times on regional networks, and one-tap checkout flows.

Custom Theme Development

We build custom Shopify themes when off-the-shelf won't cut it. Tailored to your brand, your market, and your customer journey — not someone else's template.

Speed Optimization for MENA Networks

Page speed isn't just a Google ranking factor — it's the difference between a sale and a bounce in markets where mobile networks vary. We optimize images, code, and assets for real-world MENA conditions.

Post-Launch Growth Marketing

A store launch is day one, not the finish line. We connect your Shopify store to Klaviyo, Google Ads, Meta, and your analytics stack — then manage the growth from there.

How we work

Step 01

Store Audit and Strategy

We audit your current store (or plan your new one) against MENA eCommerce best practices. Layout, payments, speed, Arabic support, mobile UX — everything gets reviewed.

Step 02

Design and Build

We design and develop your Shopify store with MENA-specific features built in from the start — not bolted on later. Arabic RTL, local payments, mobile-first layouts, and brand-aligned aesthetics.

Step 03

Test Across Markets

We test on real devices, real networks, and real payment flows across UAE, KSA, and other target markets. If it doesn't work on a phone in Jeddah, it doesn't ship.

Step 04

Launch and Grow

We launch your store and immediately connect it to your marketing channels — ads, email, SEO. Then we optimize continuously based on actual conversion data from real MENA shoppers.

Why Middle East brands trust us

GOSH Digital builds and optimizes Shopify stores from our Dubai headquarters for eCommerce brands across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. We know that a Shopify store built for the US market will underperform in the GCC — different payment expectations, different checkout behavior, different language needs, different mobile network speeds. Every store we build is designed for the way Middle Eastern shoppers actually browse and buy.
