Subscription billing for Jeddah stock software that sells to traders and importers.

We offer inventory management subscription website development in Jeddah for software companies that sell stock control tools to importers, wholesalers, souq traders and retail groups along the Red Sea coast. The site explains your plans, takes payment by mada, card or Apple Pay, renews each subscription on schedule, issues Fatoora compliant invoices and lets every customer manage their own account. Your product team keeps building features while the subscription runs itself.

Jeddah customers buy in a city shaped by the port and by the seasons of Ramadan, Hajj and Umrah. Their stock needs rise and fall through the year, and your plans should be able to follow them without a renegotiation each time.

What we build into the platform

Subscriptions that bend with the trading calendar.

A wholesaler in Al Balad, an importer clearing containers through Jeddah Islamic Port and a mall brand with outlets on Tahlia Street all use inventory software differently, and they all want to pay differently. Some pay monthly by mada from the owner's phone. Some want one annual invoice their accountant can file. Many add staff and locations before Ramadan and remove them after the pilgrimage season.

The platform we build treats those patterns as normal rather than as exceptions handled by email. Plans can be changed, paused or extended by the customer, inside rules you control, and every change is billed and invoiced correctly. That is the difference between inventory management subscription platform development in Jeddah and simply adding a payment page to a product site. Here is what usually goes into a Jeddah build.

Explain your project
  • Seasonal add-ons and temporary seats

    Extra users, extra locations or a higher item limit sold for a set period, for example the weeks around Ramadan or the Hajj season, then removed automatically when the period ends. The charge is prorated for the days used and shown as its own line on the invoice.

    Customers scale up for the busy season without changing their base plan.

  • Plan pause for quiet months

    If your commercial policy allows it, a customer can pause a subscription for a set number of months, keep their data, and resume with one click. You decide the limits, the reduced charge if any, and how often a pause may be used.

    Seasonal traders stay customers instead of cancelling.

  • Mobile first checkout

    Many Jeddah shop owners subscribe from a phone between customers. The checkout is short, right to left first, and accepts Apple Pay with mada, mada cards through a SAMA licensed gateway, credit cards and STC Bank (formerly STC Pay) where your gateway supports it.

    A trader can sign up and pay in a few minutes on a phone.

  • Pricing in plain Arabic

    Plan names and limits written for traders rather than software buyers: shops, warehouses, staff and items, with a simple comparison and examples of which plan suits a single shop, a wholesaler or an importer with branches in Makkah and Madinah.

    Fewer pre-sales calls asking which plan to choose.

  • Annual plans with flexible payment

    Annual subscriptions paid upfront, by bank transfer against an invoice, or through Tabby or Tamara if your merchant agreement with them covers business software. Each option is shown only to the customers you decide should see it, and renewal reminders go out early enough for a transfer to clear before the year ends.

    More customers commit to a year at a time.

  • Fatoora invoices and credit notes

    Every charge, seasonal add-on and refund produces a ZATCA compliant simplified or standard tax invoice, depending on whether the buyer is VAT registered, with the QR code and the fields your phase requires. Credit notes for refunds and downgrades reference the original invoice, as the rules expect.

    Customers and their accountants get valid documents for every payment.

  • Dunning that respects the season

    Payment reminders and retry schedules that you can soften during Ramadan or the pilgrimage peak, when traders are busiest and least likely to read email. Messages go by email and SMS, in Arabic or English, with a direct link to pay.

    Fewer accounts restricted at the worst possible moment.

  • Multi branch account control

    One owner pays for all branches, while each branch manager sees only their own location inside the product. The account area shows the owner which branches are active and lets them add one in Makkah or Madinah from the same screen. Invoices can be split by branch for groups that account for each shop separately.

    Groups with several shops manage one subscription, not several.

  • Product sync and usage limits

    Your software reads plan limits from the billing system in real time. When a customer reaches their item or location limit, the product shows an upgrade prompt that leads straight to the right plan, already filled in. Limits can be soft for a few days, so a trader in the middle of a busy week is not blocked from receiving stock.

    Upgrades happen at the moment the customer needs them.

  • Referral and reseller codes

    Many Jeddah software sales still happen through accountants and IT shops who recommend tools to traders. Referral codes track which partner brought each customer, so you can pay or thank them according to your own agreement. Partner reports show sign ups, renewals and cancellations for each code.

    Word of mouth becomes measurable.

Who this is for

Jeddah software businesses that get the most from this.

These four situations cover most of the Western Region software vendors we speak to. Each starts with a working inventory product and a billing process that has outgrown spreadsheets and bank transfer screenshots sent over WhatsApp. What differs is the customer base and how seasonal it is, and that shapes where the first release puts its effort.

Jeddah also has a mixed workforce. Shop staff may read Arabic, English, Urdu or Bengali, while owners and accountants usually work in Arabic. The account area and emails are written so the person paying and the person using the stock screens can each follow what is happening.

01

A stock app for souq and high street shops

Your customers are single shop owners in Al Balad, the Bab Makkah markets or neighbourhood shopping streets who decide quickly and pay monthly. The site needs a short Arabic sales page, a mobile checkout, a free trial if you choose to offer one as part of your product, and gentle dunning. Anything that looks like enterprise software scares these buyers away.

Keep the first release small and very clear.

02

Inventory software for importers and distributors

Importers working through the port need landed cost features, multi warehouse stock and supplier records, and they buy annually after a demonstration. We build a sales led route with booked demos, quotes accepted online and annual invoices, alongside the same billing engine the smaller customers use. Their buyers often ask for a trial period on real data before signing, and the platform can run that as a time limited plan that converts to paid on approval.

03

A platform for groups serving pilgrims

Retail and hospitality groups with outlets in Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah carry stock that sells hardest during Umrah and Hajj. Seasonal add-ons, multi branch accounts and usage based charges per outlet suit them well, and their finance teams expect standard tax invoices with full VAT details. Usage can be counted per outlet per month, so a branch that opens only for the season is billed only while it trades.

Seasonal billing rules are the heart of this build.

04

An established vendor moving off manual billing

If you already have hundreds of customers paying by transfer and reminders sent by staff, the main job is migration. We import plans, prices and renewal dates, invite customers to add a payment method in stages, and keep invoiced accounts where they make sense, so nobody's service is interrupted. We also clean up old plans that no longer make sense, mapping each one to a current plan so your price list becomes something your sales team can explain.

From a billing spreadsheet to a subscription platform, in six steps.

  1. 01Map plans and seasonsOn video calls we list every plan, add-on, discount rule and seasonal pattern your Jeddah customers follow, and decide which belong in the first release.
  2. 02Choose payment partnersWe compare gateways for mada recurring support, Apple Pay, STC Bank and settlement terms, and agree whether Tabby or Tamara fit your customers.
  3. 03Design the buying pathPricing, checkout, account and upgrade screens designed Arabic first for phones, then for desktop, and tested with a few of your real customers.
  4. 04Build billing and invoicingRecurring charges, seasonal add-ons, pauses, proration, dunning and Fatoora invoicing built and run through test renewals covering a full trading year.
  5. 05Connect the productAccount creation, plan limits, upgrade prompts and usage reporting linked to your inventory software, so billing and product never disagree.
  6. 06Migrate and go liveExisting customers moved in batches, outside the busiest season, with clear notices in Arabic and English and close monitoring of the first renewals.

Questions Jeddah software companies ask us.

It depends on how many plans, seasonal rules and integrations you need.

A focused site with monthly and annual plans, one gateway and Fatoora invoicing moves faster than a platform with seasonal add-ons, pauses, referral tracking and a migration of existing customers. We agree the timeline after discovery, when those choices are made, and write the dates into the scope. We also plan launch and migration around your customers' calendar, so nothing changes for them in the middle of Ramadan or the Hajj season.
