What is different about building for Saudi Arabia?
- Arabic first. Design the Arabic, right-to-left version first; most consumers search and buy in Arabic.
- mada. Local debit cards cost far less per transaction through Saudi gateways such as Moyasar, PayTabs, Tap or HyperPay; see the payment gateway comparison.
- WhatsApp. Customers expect to reach a business on WhatsApp, so forms and booking reminders connect to it.
- VAT. Saudi VAT is 15 per cent; stores need VAT-inclusive prices and compliant invoices.
- Data protection. The Personal Data Protection Law applies to customer data; keep forms minimal and hosting documented.
