## Who it’s for

- Shops moving online
- Local brands
- Instagram sellers wanting their own store
- Distributors selling to shops (B2B)

## Problems it solves

- Selling through Instagram DMs wastes time and loses orders
- Selling items already out of stock
- Shipping costs differ by governorate
- No Google visibility

## Modules

- **Catalogue**: Categories, variants, images and Arabic search.
- **Checkout**: Cash on delivery and local gateways.
- **Shipping**: Rates per governorate, courier integration.
- **Stock sync**: Shared stock with the shop and POS.
- **Promotions & coupons**: Discounts and timed campaigns.
- **SEO & speed**: Product pages that rank and load fast.

## Platform store or custom-built?

**Hosted platforms suit a quick start with few products. A custom store fits when you need stock and POS sync, local payments, full control over speed and search visibility, and no per-order commission.**

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the store connect to Instagram and Facebook?

Yes, via product catalogues and shoppable links.

### Does it support wholesale?

Yes, with special prices for approved trade accounts.

### How long does a store take?
