Salla and Zid Store Development

Horizon Tech works on existing Salla and Zid stores: theme customization with real CSS and JavaScript so your store matches your brand instead of a stock template, iOS and Android apps that read from your store through the platform APIs, and integrations with accounting systems, shipping carriers and marketing platforms via API and webhooks. Small changes start around SAR 1,500 and ship within days, a full theme customization from SAR 6,000, and a connected mobile app from SAR 18,000. What separates us from a freelancer is documented code and continued ownership after handover.

What we do on a Salla or Zid store

Theme customization beyond the settings panel

Direct work on the template — colors, fonts, layout and landing pages — so your store stands apart from the thousands running the same stock theme.

A mobile app connected to your store

An iOS and Android app reading products and orders straight from your store, so you never run two inventories. Published under your name with review requirements handled.

Accounting system integration

Orders and invoices synced with your accounting system in line with e-invoicing requirements, so nothing is keyed in twice.

Shipping carrier and tracking integration

Waybills created automatically on order, shipment status updated in the store, and the customer notified without your involvement.

Post-order automation

Automated WhatsApp confirmation and tracking messages, abandoned-cart follow-up, and store data piped into a single reporting dashboard.

Whatever the platform will not do

The features you need that exist neither in the store nor in the app marketplace — built as an external service connected through the API.

Process

How we work — step by step

1

Store review

We look at your store and current plan and separate what a platform setting can solve from what genuinely needs code — and tell you plainly when a request is not worth customizing.

2

Scope and fixed price

A written list of what will and will not be built, at a fixed price rather than an open one, before any work starts.

3

Build on a staging copy

We work on a separate copy or theme, so your live store keeps selling uninterrupted during development.

4

Review and deployment

You review and approve the result, then we deploy to the live store during a low-traffic window.

5

Handover and documentation

You receive the code and documentation of what changed and where, so any developer after us can continue without depending on us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does Salla store customization cost?

Small changes — colors, fonts, section order, an extra landing page — start around SAR 1,500 and ship within days. A full theme customization in your brand identity runs SAR 6,000 to 20,000. An accounting or shipping integration runs SAR 5,000 to 18,000 depending on the system. The price is set after a store review and is fixed, not open-ended.

Do I need a mobile app if I already have a Salla store?

Not always. A responsive store is enough for most merchants in their first year. An app earns its cost once you have repeat customers you want to reach with notifications instead of paid ads. A practical rule: if more than a third of your sales come from returning customers, an app starts paying for itself.

How are you different from a freelancer on Khamsat or Mostaql?

A freelancer is usually cheaper, and that is a sensible choice for simple tweaks. The difference shows in three places: we hand over documented code someone else can continue, we work to a written contract and scope rather than chat messages, and we remain accountable after delivery. If your request is a one-off simple edit, a freelancer may genuinely suit you better — we will say so.

Can you migrate my store between Salla and Zid?

Yes — products, categories, customers and past orders, with a plan for redirecting old URLs so you do not lose the search visibility you built. Migration needs planning because the data models differ between platforms, so we always start with an inventory of what will move and what cannot.

Will theme customization break when the platform updates?

It can, if the work relied on undocumented internals. That is why we build on officially supported interfaces wherever possible, document anything we had to modify directly, and offer a maintenance agreement covering fixes when platform updates affect the work.

Will you work on a store another team manages?

Yes, and we do not ask for more access than the task requires. We work on a staging copy first and hand your team documentation of what changed, so the store stays under their control rather than ours.
