Services · Ecommerce development · Community membership sites
We deliver community management membership website development in Riyadh for compounds, gated villa projects and tower communities that charge for optional amenities. Families buy gym, pool and padel plans online, employers pay for staff memberships on one account, and parents enrol children in swimming or football by term. Every plan is paid with mada or Apple Pay, renews on time and produces a ZATCA invoice, so your clubhouse team stops chasing transfers and starts running facilities.
Part of our team works from Riyadh, so the planning sessions happen face to face, at your management office or ours. We walk the clubhouse with your leisure manager, sit with finance to see how memberships are reconciled today, and design the site around what we find rather than around a template.

What the site does
Membership in a Riyadh compound is shaped by a few local habits. Many households were placed there by an employer, so the company, not the family, often pays. Pools and gyms usually run separate ladies' and family sessions. Evenings are the busy time for most of the year, because daytime heat keeps people indoors until the sun drops. Relatives visit for long weekends and Riyadh Season events, and residents want to bring them to the pool without a negotiation at the gate.
A community management paid membership platform development project for Riyadh has to reflect those habits in its rules, not leave reception to apply them by memory. These are the capabilities we build most often for compounds in the north of the city, around the Diplomatic Quarter and along the main corridors out towards the airport road. Each is configured by your team from an Arabic and English admin panel.
An employer housing staff in your compound gets its own account. Its HR coordinator adds and removes employees, chooses which tier each household receives and pays one consolidated invoice by card, transfer or SADAD. When an employee leaves Riyadh, the coordinator ends the plan and the system handles the refund rules you agreed.
Company paid memberships stop living in email threads.
Facilities carry timetables for ladies' only, men's only and family sessions, and each tier states which sessions it includes. The booking screen only offers slots a member is entitled to, and staff can change timetables for Ramadan or summer without touching the code.
Session rules are applied by the system, consistently.
Padel has become a fixture in Riyadh communities. Court plans include a set number of prime evening bookings per week, with off peak slots open more widely and extra hours sold as paid add ons. League and coaching memberships can sit alongside casual court access.
Prime courts are shared fairly across members.
Residents sign in with Nafath, select their villa or apartment and upload an Ejar contract or title deed. Family members are added under the main account. Staff approve each household once, and renewals reuse the approval until the tenancy end date on file.
Resident rates go only to people who live in the community.
Members issue day or weekend passes for visiting relatives, within a guest allowance per tier, with extra passes sold at the price you set. The pass is a QR code sent by WhatsApp or SMS and expires automatically.
Guests arrive with a pass, not a phone call to reception.
Community management membership payment integration in Riyadh starts with a SAMA licensed gateway that tokenises mada and Apple Pay for recurring charges, plus Visa and Mastercard for expatriate cards. Tabby or Tamara can split an annual family plan if you choose. Every payment posts to the member record and to your accounting export.
Payments reconcile without a spreadsheet.
Tax invoices, refunds and credit notes are generated with the VAT breakdown and QR code Fatoora requires, integrated with ZATCA once your phase two wave applies to you. Corporate accounts receive invoices with their VAT number and cost centre references.
Finance closes the month with clean records.
Swimming, football, gymnastics and martial arts programmes run by term, with age groups, capacity limits, sibling pricing and a waiting list. Parents enrol from the portal and see attendance notes from coaches.
Academy places fill without paper forms.
Managers see active members by tier and by corporate client, renewals due this month, lapsed plans, academy fill rates and how often each court, pool and studio is used at each hour. Reports export to Excel or feed a Power BI dashboard for owners who manage several Riyadh communities.
Pricing and timetables follow real usage.
Households see plans, renewal dates, invoices and guest passes left, update cards, upgrade tiers and request a freeze during long summer travel under the notice terms you publish. Each change is recorded for your team.
Members serve themselves, with a clear record behind every change.
Who this suits
Riyadh has a wide spread of residential communities, from long established compounds housing expatriate families to new gated developments in the northern districts and serviced towers close to the business areas. The common thread is a set of facilities that not everyone uses and a membership process that still depends on forms and transfers. The four setups below are the ones we see most often across the city. Each changes who pays, how eligibility is proven and which facilities matter most, so the site we design for a corporate compound in the east of Riyadh looks quite different from one for a new villa project in the north.
Compounds where employers lease blocks of villas need memberships that follow the lease, not the individual. The site lets each corporate client manage its own households, sets tiers by contract and bills the company directly, while private tenants buy their own plans. Your leasing team can see which corporate accounts are using the facilities they pay for, which helps at contract renewal time.
Strong fit where most residents are company placed.
Developments in districts such as Al Malqa, Hittin and Al Narjis often open a clubhouse before every villa is occupied. Selling memberships from day one, including to residents of nearby communities at a non-resident rate, helps cover running costs while occupancy builds. Eligibility rules can tighten as the community fills. When the developer later hands operation to a management company or an owners association, member records, payment history and the merchant account move with a clear handover plan we agree at the start.
Useful while occupancy is still growing.
Residential towers close to Olaya and KAFD house professionals on short and long stays. Monthly gym and pool plans with simple sign up suit them better than annual contracts, and the tower operator may sell day passes to people working nearby during quieter hours.
Monthly plans and quick sign up matter most.
Some Riyadh communities have residents' clubs that run leagues, social events and children's activities with volunteer committees. A membership site gives the committee proper billing, member lists and clear accounts for the management company, without each committee member keeping their own spreadsheet. Committees can run seasonal memberships for a football league or a summer camp, close sign ups when places run out and publish results and photos to members only pages. When a committee changes, the new members inherit a working system rather than a folder of forms.
Gives volunteer committees proper tools.
Working together
Single communities usually choose a fixed scope project covering tiers, eligibility, billing, the portal and passes, with academies or gate integration added later. Operators with several Riyadh compounds often keep a monthly retainer for new sites and seasonal timetable work. Larger groups sometimes add a dedicated developer embedded with their IT team. Our Riyadh colleagues attend workshops and training in person, and the wider team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi handles the build.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Typical builds use Laravel or Next.js, a recurring billing layer from your chosen SAMA licensed gateway, and cloud hosting in a Saudi region when your policy requires it. Gate hardware, accounting and CRM links are agreed during discovery and fully documented.

We fix the timeline after the discovery workshop.
The schedule depends on how many tiers and facilities you have, whether corporate accounts are part of the first release, whether gates or turnstiles must be connected and how clean your current member data is. A single compound with standard tiers moves quickly; a group launch with academies and gate integration takes longer. We agree the first release in the workshop, write dates into the plan and keep later features in a second phase.
