( FAQ )

Ecommerce, answered.

Shopify or a custom store?

Shopify is the quickest route for most brands: stores start from OMR 100 and go live in one to two weeks. A headless or custom store makes sense when you need unusual checkout flows, deep integrations or full control of the experience. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start. Our guide compares Shopify, headless and custom stores.

Which payment methods can you support?

Cards, regional payment gateways, digital wallets and cash on delivery, depending on your country and provider. In Oman that usually means Thawani, OmanNet or Amwal Pay. Our guide compares payment gateways in Oman.

Can the store sync with our POS or ERP?

Yes. We integrate products, stock and orders with your existing systems so nothing is entered twice.

Do you migrate our existing products?

Yes. We move products, customers and order history from your current platform.

Do you support Arabic?

Yes. Stores can run in English and Arabic with right-to-left layouts and local currencies.

Who owns the store and the accounts?

You do. The store, the domain, the code and the accounts it runs on are in your company's name.

Do you manage the store after launch?

We offer a monthly care plan for updates, new pages, app changes and performance, while your team runs day-to-day orders.
