National video membership platforms built for Saudi law, payments and Arabic.

Codeeo delivers video streaming membership website development in Saudi Arabia for media groups, content owners, sports bodies, education providers and public entities that want to sell video access directly to viewers across the Kingdom. We build the paid web platform: plans and tiers, gated libraries and live streams, checkout on Saudi payment rails, renewals, e-invoicing, a member account and the admin behind it. A national service has to satisfy PDPL, ZATCA, SAMA rules and the E-Commerce Law at once, and it has to work as well in Tabuk and Najran as in the three big cities.

We treat compliance and payments as product features rather than paperwork at the end. They decide whether members can join, whether renewals succeed and whether your finance and legal teams can sign the platform off.

National platform capabilities

What a Kingdom-wide membership service has to get right.

Selling video memberships across Saudi Arabia is a different brief from launching in one city. Members pay through national systems such as mada and STC Bank, every charge must produce a Fatoora e-invoice, personal data falls under the Personal Data Protection Law, and demand rises sharply in Ramadan, during national sporting events and on public holidays. The audience spans the dialects and tastes of Najd, Hejaz, the Eastern Province and the south, and it expects Arabic first interfaces that read naturally from right to left. The capabilities below are the ones national clients rely on. We prioritise them in discovery against your launch date, the regulatory checks your counsel asks for and the cities where your first members live, and we keep later items on a roadmap tied to real membership data.

Explain your project
  • PDPL-ready member records

    Consent captured separately for the service, marketing and analytics, a privacy notice in Arabic and English, and tools for members to view, export or delete their data. Data collection is limited to what the membership needs, and transfers outside the Kingdom are switched off unless your adviser approves them under SDAIA guidance.

    Privacy obligations are met by design, not by policy alone.

  • Saudi payment rails

    mada, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and STC Bank through a SAMA licensed gateway, Tabby and Tamara for annual plans where you want instalments, and SADAD bill payment for institutional buyers if your gateway offers it. We confirm recurring support for each method during onboarding and design a fallback for those that cannot renew automatically.

    Every common way Saudis pay online is available at checkout.

  • Fatoora e-invoicing

    Simplified tax invoices for individual members and standard invoices for companies, generated for every charge, renewal, upgrade and refund in the format ZATCA requires, with the integration phase your business falls into handled from the start. Invoices are stored in the member account and synced to your ERP.

    Tax compliance holds up as the member base grows.

  • Identity and age assurance

    Content rated for adults can sit behind an age check, and organisations that qualify can integrate Nafath for verified sign in where the service justifies it. For most consumer plans, a verified phone number and date of birth are enough. The level of assurance is chosen per tier, not for the whole site.

    Stronger checks only where content or regulation calls for them.

  • Content classification and regulator reporting

    Each title carries an age rating, content descriptors and the territories it may be shown in. Editors cannot publish a title without them. Reports on what was published, when and to which tiers can be exported if the General Authority of Media Regulation or another body asks for them.

    Your editorial controls are visible and auditable.

  • Capacity for Ramadan and national events

    Evening peaks after iftar, national team matches and holiday premieres can multiply traffic in minutes. We use a CDN with delivery close to Saudi viewers, queue sign ups during spikes so the payment gateway is not overwhelmed, and load test the checkout and player against your forecast before each season.

    The busiest nights become your best sign up nights.

  • City by city rollout tools

    Plans, promotions and content rails can target regions, so a launch can begin in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam and extend to Makkah, Madinah, Abha or Tabuk as local content and marketing follow. Regional landing pages share one membership system, so a member who moves cities keeps the same account.

    Expansion is a settings change, not a new build.

  • Security aligned with NCA controls

    Role based admin access with multi-factor sign in, encrypted storage, audit logs, vulnerability scanning and a documented incident process, mapped to the National Cybersecurity Authority's Essential Cybersecurity Controls where your organisation is required to follow them.

    Security reviews by your own team or a regulator go faster.

  • Fair renewal and cancellation

    Renewal terms shown before purchase, reminders ahead of each charge, cancellation online in a few clicks and access kept until the paid period ends. The terms each member accepted are stored with their record, in line with the disclosure duties of the E-Commerce Law.

    Members trust the service enough to stay.

  • Arabic search visibility

    Public title pages, trailers and plan pages are built for search in Arabic and English, with structured data for videos, fast loading and clean URLs. Members only content stays gated while its description remains visible to search engines, so a viewer searching for a series in Arabic lands on a page that explains which plan includes it.

    Search brings new members to the plan page.

Who this is for

National organisations that sell video directly to viewers.

Video streaming subscription website development in Saudi Arabia makes most sense for organisations with content people already value and an audience in more than one region. The four groups below are the ones we build for most often. Each has a different buyer, a different peak season and a different regulator to keep in mind, so the first release is scoped differently in each case. What they share is scale: a national platform must serve members in several regions, through several payment methods, under the same set of rules.

01

Media groups and content owners

Broadcasters, production companies and rights holders with series, documentaries or film libraries can sell memberships directly instead of only licensing to large platforms. We build tiers by catalogue depth, windows that move new releases between tiers, multi-DRM for licensed content and reports rights holders can audit. The direct relationship with members, and the data that comes with it, stays with you. Over time that data shows which genres and regions justify new commissions.

Direct members are an asset no licence fee replaces.

02

Telecom, bank and loyalty partners

Many Saudi memberships are sold through partners who bundle them with a mobile plan, a card or a loyalty programme. We add partner codes, bulk activations, partner reporting and an API that lets a partner confirm eligibility, while the member still signs in to your platform and stays your customer after the bundle ends.

Bundles bring volume; your platform keeps the member.

03

Sports federations, leagues and clubs

Federations and leagues with rights to their own competitions can sell season memberships, match passes and archive access nationally. We design for match day peaks, rights that vary by competition, and supporter tiers. Live streaming capacity is sized for the biggest fixtures, and blackout rules apply where a broadcaster holds exclusive rights.

Rights contracts shape the product more than design does.

04

Education, training and public bodies

Professional bodies, training institutes and government entities producing public education or continuing development content can offer paid or sponsored memberships nationwide. We build organisation accounts, Arabic first libraries, watch records and procurement friendly invoicing, with security mapped to NCA controls where the entity requires it. Sponsored plans let a body cover the cost for certain groups while others pay their own way.

Public entities often need hosting inside the Kingdom.

How we take a national membership platform from plan to launch.

  1. 01Regulatory and commercial discoveryWe map plans, buyers, rights, cities and the regulatory questions for your counsel, with workshops in person in Riyadh or by video call from anywhere else in the Kingdom.
  2. 02Onboarding with third partiesGateway application, recurring payment approval, Fatoora integration, Ministry of Commerce store registration and any media registration start early and are tracked weekly.
  3. 03Arabic first product designPlan pages, checkout, member accounts, partner flows and admin tools are designed right to left first, tested with Saudi users, then mirrored for English.
  4. 04Build on stagingDevelopment runs in short cycles on a staging platform your team can use throughout, while the library is encoded, rated and mapped to tiers.
  5. 05Compliance, security and load testingPrivacy flows, invoices, security controls and peak traffic are tested and documented, so legal, finance and security teams can sign off with evidence.
  6. 06Phased national launchWe launch in the first cities, watch payments, renewals and playback closely, then extend region by region as content and marketing are ready.

Technology

What we build this with.

National builds typically combine a Next.js front end, a headless CMS for Arabic and English metadata, a managed video platform with multi-DRM, a SAMA licensed gateway, Fatoora integration and links to your ERP or CRM. Hosting regions, including options inside the Kingdom, are chosen with you against PDPL and NCA requirements.

Questions national clients ask before committing.

Data protection, e-commerce, tax, payment, cybersecurity and possibly media rules.

The Personal Data Protection Law, supervised by SDAIA, covers member data and consent. The E-Commerce Law sets disclosure and cancellation duties and calls for registering the online store with the Ministry of Commerce. ZATCA requires Fatoora e-invoices, payments run through a SAMA licensed gateway, and NCA controls apply to many organisations. Media content may involve the General Authority of Media Regulation. We build the features; your counsel confirms which duties apply.
