Sell online in Saudi Arabia · SAR
Create your online store in Saudi Arabia
Saudi shoppers buy a lot online, on their phones, mostly in Arabic — and they find stores through Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram. Build a store that is Arabic first and ready for those ads.
How people buy online there
Arabic first
Shoppers expect a store that reads right to left, not a translated one.
Snapchat and TikTok
Ads and influencers there drive many orders; install their pixels from day one.
Cash on delivery still matters
Many buyers still like to pay at the door for a store they don’t know.
Fast delivery expected
Show a clear delivery time to each city.

The legal side
Individuals can sell under a freelance document (freelance.sa) for many activities; companies register with the Ministry of Commerce. VAT (15%) registration becomes mandatory above an annual threshold — check ZATCA for the current rules.
This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change; check the official source for your situation.

Can I sell to other countries too?
Yes. Add markets for other countries, each with its currency and delivery fees, and show only the payment methods you can honour there.
Can I add Snapchat and TikTok pixels?
