Salla and Zid Store Design: Packages, Prices and Timeline (2026)
We set up your store on Salla, Zid or any platform you choose in your brand identity, and hand it over ready to sell after a full test order. The prices are in numbers, include 15% VAT, and what each price excludes is written under it.

In short
Three packages: theme setup in 3–5 days, store setup in 10–14 days, store launch in 14–21 days; live prices below.
The platform subscription is in your account and your name, so the store is fully yours.
Want a store without platform commission? A WooCommerce store on your own domain is priced below too.
What delays launches most: product data and photos. Prepare them first.
Salla and Zid store design prices (all packages, incl. 15% VAT)
The three packages are the same for Salla, Zid and any other platform such as Shopify; you choose the platform at checkout. Prices include 15% VAT, the tax invoice is issued instantly, and work starts after we receive your data.

What do you need before opening a Salla or Zid store?
Six things, and most delays come from the fourth:
1
Commercial registration or freelance licence
The platforms ask to verify the business, and customers trust a verified store. If you have neither, start there before the design.
2
A platform account in your name
The Salla or Zid subscription sits in your account, not ours, so the store stays yours whoever runs it.
3
Logo and brand colours
In a clean file. If you have no identity yet, brand identity design is in the store at a published price.
4
Product data and photos
Name, price, description, sizes and photos for each product, in one file. This is what delays store launches most.
5
Bank account and payment gateway
The gateway is activated in the business name with its bank account; we configure the connection.
6
Shipping method
A courier, branch pickup or your own delivery. We set it up in the store and run a full test order before handover.
Salla or Zid?
Both platforms are Saudi, connect to local payment gateways and couriers, are managed from a phone, and have an app marketplace. We do not recommend one before we know your products, expected volume and the apps you need (POS, accounting, subscriptions, services). What matters in practice: choose the theme that fits your products rather than the prettiest one, understand the fees of the plan you will subscribe to, and confirm the shipping and payment apps you need exist. Our packages are identical for both, so the decision is about your business, not the price.

Who is this for?
Retailers and brands in Saudi Arabia opening their first online store, physical shops adding online sales, and international brands that want a local store on a Saudi platform with local payment and shipping, set up by a team in Riyadh that works in English and Arabic.
Mistakes that kill new stores
Launching without a full test order: a payment gateway that fails or shipping that is not configured means the first customer leaves. We buy from your store as a customer before handover.
Weak product photos: in a store the photo is the product. One good photo beats five poor ones.
Descriptions copied from the supplier: they do not sell and do not rank on Google. Write for the person buying from you.
No clear return policy: the legal pages (terms, returns, privacy) are a trust condition and a payment-provider condition.
Relying on the platform for visitors: the platform hosts the store; it does not market it. Visitors come from ads, search and WhatsApp.
Abandoned carts with no message: one WhatsApp message an hour later brings back part of the sales that would have been lost.
How we set up your store, step by step
01We receive your dataLogo, products, photos and access to your platform account.
02Theme in your brandColours, logo, banners and the core pages.
03Categories, products, payment, shippingWe upload the products and connect payment, shipping and the legal pages.
04A full test orderWe buy from your store as a customer until the order arrives, and fix what breaks.
05Launch and trainingGoogle indexing, a WhatsApp button and a 30-minute training on running the store.
After launch: how does the store sell?
A ready store is half the way. The other half: campaigns measured by sales on Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and Google, WhatsApp with OPT-WA for order confirmations and abandoned carts, and the OPT-RET loyalty programme that brings the customer back for the second and third purchase. All from one team at published prices, with one report that says how much the store sold from each channel.
Ready to start? Send your business name and the platform you prefer (or leave it to us), and we reply with the package and the requirements.
We have three packages incl. 15% VAT: theme setup (your brand theme and the core pages in 3–5 days), store setup (categories, up to 30 products, payment and shipping in 10–14 days), and store launch (up to 100 products, Google indexing and training in 14–21 days). The live prices are in the table on this page. The platform subscription itself is paid in your name to Salla or Zid and is not part of these prices.
What do I need to open a store on Salla or Zid?+
Business verification with a commercial registration or a freelance licence, a platform account in your name, a bank account in the business name to activate the payment gateway, and your product data and photos. Platform requirements change, so we review them with you at the start.
Salla or Zid: which is better for my store?+
Both are mature Saudi platforms with local payment and shipping integrations. They differ in themes, apps and subscription plans, and in what suits your products specifically; we recommend one after we know your products and expected volume. Our packages and prices are the same for both.
I already have a Salla store. Can you improve it instead of building a new one?+
Yes. The theme setup package works for existing stores: we reset the theme, banners and core pages in your brand without rebuilding the store.
Is a Salla store or a custom store on my own domain better?+
For a fast start with standard products: Salla or Zid. For a brand with sales volume, a special need or no appetite for platform commission: a WooCommerce store on your own domain, or an integrated store connected to couriers and your systems by quote. The table on this page compares them line by line.
How long until the store is live?+
Theme setup 3–5 days, store setup 10–14 days, store launch 14–21 days. The clock starts after payment and receiving the product data, photos and platform access.
Do you photograph products and write descriptions?+
The setup packages do not include them; data and photos come from you. If you want them, commercial photography and content management are in the store at published prices and we schedule them with the store project.
