Custom E-Commerce Website Development Service for Arabic Markets

I. Project Overview

Tailored for businesses targeting the Middle Eastern market, this service offers e-commerce platform development based on WordPress + WooCommerce, featuring Arabic RTL (right-to-left) layout support. The platform integrates localized payment and logistics solutions while adhering to Islamic business practices and regional regulations.

II. Core Functional Modules

2. E-Commerce Feature Extensions

• Customize WooCommerce product catalogs for Middle Eastern specialties (e.g., thobes, spices)

• Develop appointment-based shopping (common for luxury apparel/jewelry)

• Integrate regional payment gateways: PayFort, CashU, Mada credit cards

3. Localized Service Integration

• Connect regional logistics APIs (e.g., Aramex, Naqel) for real-time shipping calculations

• Develop VAT-compliant invoicing (supports Saudi/UAE tax rates)
