WooCommerce & WordPress Development in Saudi Arabia
WooCommerce and WordPress development for Saudi businesses by a senior developer: Arabic-first, right-to-left stores, local payments (mada, Apple Pay, STC Pay, Tamara and Tabby), ZATCA e-invoicing, and experience on Saudi sites including the Jahez Group corporate and investor-relations website.
Saudi companies are building fast, and a lot of that growth needs a credible, fast website in Arabic and English. I work directly with Saudi teams as a senior developer. For the Jahez Group corporate and investor-relations website I worked on the custom WordPress theme (see the Jahez Group case study), and I have delivered sites for companies in sports, retail, real estate, marketing and consulting.
WooCommerce development for Saudi stores
Most Saudi WooCommerce work comes down to five things, and I plan each one before writing code:
- Payments: mada, Apple Pay and STC Pay through a local gateway such as MyFatoorah, plus buy now, pay later with Tamara and Tabby. The Gulf gateway comparison covers the options side by side.
- ZATCA e-invoicing: Phase 2 integration, QR codes and testing, plugin or custom build; see the ZATCA guide for WooCommerce.
- Arabic and RTL: an Arabic-first checkout, mirrored layout and natural Arabic typography, with English as the second language; see the Arabic RTL checklist.
- Prices and tax: SAR pricing and 15% VAT shown the way Saudi shoppers expect.
- Speed on mobile: the store is measured on mobile before and after every change.
For an existing store, start with a technical assessment. KNET for Kuwait and UAE e-invoicing are in the WooCommerce Gulf guides.
The services are the same as everywhere: technical assessments, speed fixes, custom WordPress, WooCommerce and ongoing support.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build Arabic-first websites?
Yes. I design Arabic-first with correct right-to-left layout and typography, adding English as the second language rather than the other way round.
Can the site support ZATCA e-invoicing?
I build the store with ZATCA requirements in mind and integrate it with the compliant invoicing or ERP tools your business uses. I do not issue the e-invoices myself. My guide to ZATCA for WooCommerce covers what stores need to do.
What are your working hours?
I work in the evening Saudi time. Most coordination runs by email and WhatsApp, and I reply within one business day. Calls are by arrangement.
Can you take over or fix an existing Saudi site?
Yes. I start with a technical assessment of the site, then fix, rebuild or support it.
