WooCommerce Gulf Guides: Payments, E-Invoicing and Arabic Stores
Guides for WooCommerce stores in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE: payment gateways, KNET, ZATCA and UAE e-invoicing, and Arabic RTL checkout.
By Amr Osama, senior web developer. Last updated 30 October 2026.
Quick answer: what these WooCommerce Gulf guides cover
These WooCommerce Gulf guides cover the three things that decide whether a store can sell in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE: which payment methods shoppers expect, which e-invoicing rules apply, and whether the checkout works properly in Arabic.
Each guide is written from the engineering side, with sources and the decisions a store owner or developer has to make. They are general information, not legal or tax advice.
The guides
Payments
- WooCommerce payment gateways for the Gulf: what works in each country and how to choose a gateway.
- KNET payment for WooCommerce: how to accept payments in Kuwait, from bank requirements to going live.
- MyFatoorah for WooCommerce: one plugin for KNET, mada, Benefit and Apple Pay, with the webhook and test steps.
- Tamara and Tabby on WooCommerce: buy now, pay later setup for Saudi Arabia and the UAE, including order statuses and capture.
E-invoicing
- ZATCA e-invoicing for WooCommerce: what Saudi stores need to do.
- UAE e-invoicing for WooCommerce: who must comply, the 2026 and 2027 dates, penalties and a build checklist.
Arabic stores
- Arabic RTL WooCommerce checklist: layout, typography and checkout details for right-to-left stores.
