Services · Ecommerce development · Online stores
Codeeo provides ecommerce website development Saudi Arabia brands, retailers and distributors rely on to sell directly to customers in every region. We design and build Arabic first stores with full English, connect them to mada, Apple Pay, STC Pay, cards, Tabby and Tamara, issue invoices that satisfy ZATCA's Fatoora requirements, and set delivery rules that work from Tabuk to Jazan. The store is built to the e-commerce law from the first template, not patched after a complaint.
Our Saudi team works from Riyadh, with colleagues in Dubai and Karachi. Clients in the capital can meet us in person; everywhere else in the Kingdom, discovery and reviews run by video call with written notes after every session.

What the store includes
Selling online in Saudi Arabia means meeting a specific set of national rules and habits. The Ministry of Commerce enforces the e-commerce law and its disclosure duties. SDAIA supervises the Personal Data Protection Law. ZATCA requires electronic invoices through Fatoora, and VAT applies to most sales. Card and wallet payments run through gateways licensed by SAMA, and shoppers expect mada, Apple Pay and an instalment option at checkout. Addresses follow the National Address system, which makes delivery outside the big cities far more reliable when it is captured correctly.
On top of the rules sit customer expectations: Arabic first pages, quick mobile checkout, delivery dates that are honest, and the big national trading moments of Ramadan, Eid, Founding Day, Saudi National Day and White Friday. These are the parts we build into a Saudi store, starting with compliance, because it shapes everything else.
Seller identity, commercial registration, contact details, full prices including VAT, delivery terms and the return and cancellation policy appear where the regulations expect them, generated from settings your team controls. Verification through the Business Platform at the Saudi Business Center, which replaced Maroof, is planned into the launch checklist.
Compliance is part of the store rather than a footer someone forgets to update.
Marketing consent is captured separately from the data needed to fulfil orders, recorded with time and source, and easy to withdraw. Customers can view, correct and delete their data from their account, staff access is limited by role, and a register of processing is kept for your compliance lead.
Customer data handled the way SDAIA's rules expect.
A SAMA licensed gateway handles mada, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay, with STC Pay and SADAD where the gateway supports them and Tabby or Tamara for instalments. Each method can be enabled by product, basket value or region, and settlement reports reconcile payouts against orders.
Shoppers find the method they trust, and finance can account for every riyal received.
Tax invoices and simplified invoices are generated with the fields and QR code ZATCA requires, through your ERP or invoicing system when it is already integrated with Fatoora, or through a compliant invoicing service connected to the store. Refunds create credit notes automatically.
Online sales meet e-invoicing rules without manual steps.
Checkout captures the short National Address or a map pin, validates it, and passes structured data to couriers. Delivery promises are set by region, with faster options in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and the Dammam area and realistic dates for smaller towns, plus multiple couriers chosen by destination and parcel size.
Fewer failed deliveries and fewer calls asking for directions.
Brands with warehouses or stores in several cities can fulfil each order from the nearest location with stock. The store reads availability per location, splits orders where needed, and shows the customer one clear delivery estimate rather than a confusing list of parcels.
Faster delivery without holding duplicate stock everywhere.
Product content is structured in Arabic and English, with right to left layouts designed from the start. Search handles Arabic spelling variants, English and transliterated terms, so a shopper in Abha and one in Khobar both find the product using the words they normally type.
More searches end in a sale.
Campaign pages, limited offers and gift options for Ramadan, Eid, Founding Day, Saudi National Day and White Friday are built from templates. Hijri and Gregorian dates display correctly, and promotions are checked so reference prices are genuine, as Ministry of Commerce rules on discounts require.
Seasonal campaigns launch on time and stay within the rules.
Hosting, access control, logging, backups and vulnerability testing are set up and documented against the relevant National Cybersecurity Authority controls when your sector or corporate buyers require it. Card data stays with the gateway and never touches the store's servers.
A security position you can explain to auditors and partners.
For imported goods, product records hold origin, supplier and SABER conformity references, and restricted items can be hidden or limited by region. Your team sees which products still need documents before they can be published.
Nothing goes live without the paperwork it needs.
Who this is for
A store for the whole Kingdom is a different project from a store for one city. The business needs a plan for which regions launch first, how stock reaches customers far from the warehouse, and how compliance is kept current as rules change. These are the four starting points we see most at national level, with what the first release usually focuses on for each. The regions you open first, and the order you add the rest, are written into the plan so marketing, operations and finance can prepare for each step.
You sell well through marketplaces and delivery apps but own little of the customer relationship. We build a direct store that runs alongside those channels, with your own loyalty, customer accounts and data, and product pages written to rank in Arabic search. Stock is shared across channels so a sale on one updates the others. Campaign landing pages and bundles that marketplaces will not let you run become possible once the store is yours.
Your own store keeps the customer data marketplaces do not share.
Your shops trade in Riyadh, Jeddah, the Eastern Province and smaller cities, each with its own stock. The store fulfils from the nearest branch or warehouse, offers click and collect, and gives regional managers visibility of online orders in their area. We plan the rollout city by city so operations can keep up. Loyalty points earned in a branch in Abha can be spent online in the same account.
You already sell online elsewhere in the Gulf or beyond and now have a Saudi entity. The store needs Saudi payment methods, Fatoora invoicing, National Address delivery, Arabic content written for Saudi shoppers rather than translated, and hosting and data arrangements that suit the PDPL. We adapt your existing catalogue and brand rather than rebuilding them from scratch.
A Saudi commercial registration is usually needed before the store can trade.
Your customers are shops and businesses in many cities who order by phone and messages today. A trade store gives them their prices, minimum quantities, delivery days by route and invoices with their VAT numbers, while you keep the option of a consumer storefront on the same catalogue later. Sales reps can also place orders for customers through the same portal, so every order follows the same rules.
How we work together
Most clients start with a fixed scope first release, followed by a monthly retainer for new regions, campaigns, features and platform updates. Larger groups often take a dedicated team of designers and engineers that works with their own ecommerce staff over a longer programme. Workshops can be held at our Riyadh office; clients in other cities work with us by video call, with shared boards and written summaries. Scope, dates and responsibilities are always set down in writing first. Retainer work includes keeping disclosures, invoicing and privacy settings in step with regulatory updates, adding couriers as new regions open and training new staff on the admin. At handover your team receives written guides for products, promotions, refunds and regional settings.
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
We build on Salla, Zid, Shopify or WooCommerce when a managed platform fits, and on headless Next.js storefronts with Laravel or custom back ends when integrations or scale call for it. Hosting, monitoring and backups sit in accounts your company owns.

The e-commerce law, the PDPL, VAT and e-invoicing at minimum.
The store must show seller identity, prices including VAT, delivery terms and return and cancellation policies under the Ministry of Commerce regulations, and be verified through the Business Platform at the Saudi Business Center. Customer data falls under the PDPL supervised by SDAIA. Invoices must meet ZATCA's Fatoora requirements. Some sectors, such as food, cosmetics or medical products, add their own licensing on top, which we identify during discovery.
