Horizon Tech builds custom e-commerce stores covering product catalogues, cart, Saudi payment gateways (Mada, Apple Pay, cards, Tabby and Tamara), inventory management, shipping integrations and a live sales reporting dashboard. A mid-sized store is delivered in 4 to 10 weeks starting around SAR 25,000. We focus specifically on reducing cart abandonment through fewer checkout steps and a fast mobile experience.
Categories, variants (size/colour), multiple images, and fast search and filtering that reach the product in seconds.
Mada, Apple Pay, credit cards, and instalments via Tabby and Tamara, with a secure checkout experience.
Stock tracking, low-stock alerts, and order states from received to delivered.
Automatic shipping cost calculation, label printing and in-store shipment tracking.
Discount coupons, offers, abandoned-cart recovery and suggested products to raise order value.
A dashboard showing sales, best-selling products and traffic sources so you decide on numbers.
Quantity pricing, configurable products, subscriptions or pre-orders — what off-the-shelf plugins cannot do.
Existing inventory, an accounting system, or point of sale in branches — so the store is not an island with double data entry.
When the shape of the purchase itself differentiates you, not just products in a template shared by thousands of stores.
Commissions, seller wallets and settlements — logic no single-store platform provides.
We understand your products, their variants and shipping to design the right catalogue structure.
We shorten the path from landing page to completed payment to as few steps as possible.
Building the store, connecting payments and shipping, and testing every payment path for real.
Full test orders from purchase through refund to confirm every case behaves correctly.
We launch the store and train you to manage it, add products and track orders.
| Store type | Price range | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Small store (up to 50 products) | SAR 25,000 – 50,000 | 4 – 6 weeks |
| Medium store (catalogue + offers + reports) | SAR 50,000 – 120,000 | 6 – 10 weeks |
| Multi-vendor marketplace | SAR 120,000 – 300,000+ | 3 – 6 months |
| Store + mobile app | From SAR 90,000 | 3 – 5 months |
Cost is driven by product count, variants, number of payment gateways, and shipping integrations required.
| The mistake | What it costs, and what we do instead |
|---|---|
| Hiding shipping cost until the last step | The biggest cause of cart abandonment in Saudi stores. We show shipping early so the customer is not surprised after filling in their details. |
| Forcing account creation before purchase | Loses a large share at checkout. We allow guest checkout and offer the account after the order, not before. |
| No mada | mada is the most widely used payment method in Saudi Arabia. Its absence is not a missing option — it is losing customers who were ready to pay. |
| Computing tax at display time instead of storing it | Produces halala-level differences that accumulate and surface at reconciliation. We store net, tax and total as fixed values at issue. |
| Allowing orders to be deleted after invoicing | Breaks the invoice sequence and collides with e-invoicing requirements. An issued invoice is an untouchable record; corrections are new linked notes. |
A small store of up to 50 products ranges from SAR 25,000 to 50,000, a medium store with catalogue, offers and reports from SAR 50,000 to 120,000, and a multi-vendor marketplace from SAR 120,000 upward. The number of payment gateways and shipping integrations clearly affects price.
Yes. We integrate all common Saudi payment methods: Mada, credit cards and Apple Pay, plus instalments through Tabby and Tamara, and we test every payment path for real before launch.
Ready platforms are faster and cheaper to start but tie you to their templates, monthly fees and a share of your sales. A custom store costs more upfront but gives you full control of the experience, unlimited integrations and ownership of your data — the right choice if you have an unconventional sales model or high volume.
Yes. We build the store on an API that serves both web and app, so a Flutter app can be added later on the same database without a rebuild.
By cutting checkout to three steps, allowing guest purchase without registration, showing shipping cost early, speeding up mobile pages, and enabling abandoned-cart reminders. Together these make the largest difference to completion rate.
Yes. The dashboard is designed for you to run it: add products, images, variants, prices and coupons and track orders with no technical background.
Three routes with very different economics: a ready platform such as Salla or Zid with an annual subscription and light customization, effectively from around SAR 3,000; a fully custom store at SAR 25,000 to 90,000; and a multi-vendor marketplace from SAR 90,000 upward. Choose by product count and how distinctive your operation is, not by budget alone — a custom store on an inadequate budget is worse than a well-executed ready platform.
Start with the ready platform if you sell standard products through a conventional sales process — it is faster, cheaper, and enough for most stores in their first year. Move to custom when you hit a real limit: pricing or shipping with unusual logic, deep integration with internal systems, or a buying experience you want to differ from every other store. A practical signal: if you are paying for four or five plugins monthly to cover gaps, you are near the switching point.
We support mada, Apple Pay and Visa/Mastercard, plus the buy-now-pay-later services common locally such as Tabby and Tamara. Adding mada specifically is not a detail — it is the most widely used payment method in Saudi Arabia, and its absence loses a large share of buyers at checkout. We also integrate cash on delivery where it suits your business, with attention to its effect on return rates.
Yes. E-commerce stores in Saudi Arabia are required to be formally documented and to display business details and clear exchange and return policies, alongside e-invoicing requirements. We build the store with those pages and fields ready from the start rather than bolted on later. The registration itself is completed by you as the licence holder; we prepare everything the process requires on the technical side.
The four biggest causes in Saudi stores: surprising the customer with shipping cost at the last step, requiring account creation before purchase, too many checkout steps, and slow mobile performance. We address them with a fixed structure: show shipping early, allow guest checkout, cut checkout to three steps, and optimize specifically for mobile — because most Saudi traffic is mobile. Then we add abandoned-cart follow-up over WhatsApp or email.
A typical custom store launches in four to ten weeks. What delays launch is rarely the code — it is content: product photos, descriptions and categories. We enter a first batch of products, prepare a bulk import file, and train your team to add the rest, because depending on us for every new product slows you down and costs you unnecessarily.
