Salla store design
Salla store setup and design for an Arabic storefront
Salla store setup and Salla store design can cover Arabic storefront layout, product and category organisation, and payment and shipping configuration. We confirm platform access and the required tasks before work begins.
Salla store setup: design, products and checkout
Salla is a hosted platform: you open an account, pick a theme and add products. That is enough for a store that works, and it looks like hundreds of others. A visitor who sees the same layout everywhere does not remember your name or trust that you are bigger than the next shop.
We work on the gap between a ready-made store and one that sells: a clear identity on the home page, a layout that gets a visitor to a product in two taps, and product pages that answer the questions before they are asked.
What we do in your Salla store
- Home page design around your brand: banners, section order, best-seller blocks, category images.
- Theme customisation within what Salla allows: colours, fonts, sections, and small code additions where the theme permits.
- Product upload: names, descriptions, photos, prices, options such as colour and size, and stock. We load them in one batch from a file rather than one at a time.
- A category tree that follows how your customer thinks, with filters for size, colour and price.
- Store pages: about, returns policy, shipping and contact.
- Payment: activating the payment methods your Salla account offers, such as cards, cash on delivery and instalment services, as the platform makes them available to you.
- Shipping: connecting carriers to zones and rates, then placing a real test order through to the shipping label.
- Ad measurement: Meta, Snapchat and TikTok pixels and Google Analytics 4, so you know which ad brought the order. See conversion tracking.
- Search basics: page titles, descriptions and clean URLs set on every page before launch. For monthly work, see SEO.
Buying on a phone
Most store orders now come from phones, so we design for the phone first and then check the desktop. We test that the button sits under one thumb, that images do not slow the page, and that the step from cart to payment does not ask for more details than it needs. Every extra field at checkout costs you orders.
How we work with you
- A 20-minute call. What you sell, to whom, and which platform you are on now, if any.
- A written quote. It sets the scope, timeline and deliverables.
- A design you approve. You see the home page, a product page and the cart on mobile and desktop, and ask for changes before build.
- Build and test. We build the store and ask you to place a complete test order, from choosing the product to payment and shipping.
- Launch and handover. Your domain and ads go live on your approval, and your team receives a handover file and training videos on managing products and orders.
If your store sits on another platform
We move products, categories and images to Salla, and keep important old links alive with redirects so you do not lose your Google rankings. Read store migration and the checklist in before you move your store.
Salla, Zid or Shopify
Salla and Zid are Saudi platforms built for Arabic merchants, and they suit anyone who wants to launch quickly and work with local payment and shipping companies. Shopify offers more apps and control, and suits a brand planning to grow or sell in several countries. If you have not decided, describe your products and customers on the call and we will recommend a platform. The full comparison is in Salla, Zid or Shopify, and the other two platforms have pages: Zid stores and Shopify stores.
Who this suits
- A merchant opening a first store who wants a professional launch.
- A store running on a stock theme that needs a clearer identity and better conversion.
- A brand selling in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf that wants an Arabic-first platform.
- A team that wants to take over the store knowing how to manage products and orders.
The written quote
The written quote fixes the store’s scope and schedule: the number of products loaded, the design pages, payment and shipping methods, tracking and training.
