Connect Tap, Moyasar, HyperPay, SMSA, ZATCA VAT, and Unifonic SMS from one Mrfqy dashboard built for KSA merchants.

Saudi Arabia is one of Mrfqy's Tier 1 markets — meaning full payment, shipping, and compliance integrations out of the box. The Kingdom's e-commerce volume keeps climbing, driven by Mada card adoption, BNPL appetite, and social commerce on TikTok and Snapchat. But launching successfully still requires matching local expectations: Arabic-first checkout, transparent VAT display, reliable last-mile delivery, and SMS order updates customers actually read. The KSA country pack sets SAR as your store currency automatically and surfaces ZATCA e-invoicing hints when you register for VAT.
Connect Tap, Moyasar, and HyperPay
Saudi shoppers expect Mada, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and increasingly BNPL at checkout. Mrfqy's KSA country pack supports Tap, Moyasar, and HyperPay — three gateways widely used by Saudi merchants. You connect merchant credentials in the payments panel, enable the methods your audience prefers, and run a small test transaction before going live.
Do not launch with cards only. Many first-time buyers still choose cash on delivery for fashion, home goods, and higher-ticket items. Mrfqy lets you toggle COD alongside online gateways, set minimum order values, and add COD fees if your courier charges extra for collection.
If you sell to both Saudi nationals and expatriates, keep checkout bilingual EN/AR. Mrfqy storefronts switch language without breaking RTL layout — a detail that matters when Instagram ads drive mixed audiences in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Mrfqy's Saudi Arabia pack is Tier 1 — Tap, Moyasar, and HyperPay appear in your payments catalog alongside COD and bank transfer. Settlement happens in SAR; configure tax display to show whether your listed prices include the 15% VAT rate ZATCA expects on B2C sales.

Set up SMSA and Aramex shipping zones
Delivery speed and tracking links determine whether customers reorder. SMSA is a go-to domestic carrier for many Saudi D2C brands; Aramex covers heavier parcels and some cross-GCC routes. In Mrfqy, define shipping zones by region — Riyadh, Makkah, Eastern Province, and remote areas often need different flat rates that reflect actual courier invoices.

How to launch your online store in Saudi Arabia | Mrfqy
Show estimated delivery days on product pages, not only at checkout. During peak seasons like Ramadan and White Friday, cut-off times shift. Add a banner in Arabic explaining order-by dates for guaranteed delivery before Eid.
Print shipping labels directly from Mrfqy when your carrier integration supports it. Fewer copy-paste errors mean fewer WISMO ('where is my order?') messages on WhatsApp.
Weight-based surcharges for furniture and appliances should be reflected in governorate zones — SMSA and Aramex invoices rarely match a single flat SAR fee across Najran and Riyadh alike.
Configure governorate-level zones in Mrfqy so Riyadh customers never subsidize remote delivery fees.
Display ZATCA VAT correctly
Registered Saudi businesses must issue compliant tax invoices. ZATCA requirements evolve, but the customer-facing basics stay constant: show whether prices include 15% VAT, display your VAT registration number on invoices, and keep order records that match what buyers saw at checkout.
Mrfqy order exports include line items, tax breakdowns, and payment methods — useful for your accountant and for ZATCA e-invoicing workflows. Set your store's tax display preference once in settings rather than editing product prices manually every quarter.
If you are testing product-market fit as an unregistered seller, consult a Saudi tax advisor before scaling paid ads. Compliance early prevents painful retroactive adjustments when revenue grows.
Mrfqy stores your VAT registration hint from the country pack — ZATCA e-invoicing applies to VAT-registered merchants, and national ID collection at checkout supports compliance workflows your accountant may require.
Mrfqy invoices show VAT lines clearly — reduce disputes by matching checkout display to printed documents.
Send order updates via Unifonic SMS
Email open rates lag behind SMS in Saudi Arabia for transactional messages. Unifonic integrates with Mrfqy so you can notify customers when an order is confirmed, shipped, or out for delivery — in Arabic, within seconds of status changes in your dashboard.
Keep messages short and actionable: order number, status, and tracking link. Avoid marketing fluff in transactional SMS; Saudis flag promotional texts as spam quickly, and carrier filters may block repeated offenders.
Pair SMS with WhatsApp for high-touch categories like custom abayas or furniture. Mrfqy does not replace WhatsApp relationship selling — it gives you reliable automated updates so your team focuses on pre-sales conversations.
Unifonic is the native SMS provider in the Saudi country pack — connect it once and Arabic templates fire on confirmed, shipped, and delivered order states without manual copy-paste.
Enable Unifonic in Mrfqy notifications settings — one template covers confirmed, shipped, and delivered states.
Your Saudi launch checklist
Week one: register on Mrfqy, select the Saudi Arabia country pack, upload 10–20 hero SKUs with SAR pricing, and connect at least one payment gateway plus COD. Test checkout on a real phone in Arabic RTL.
Week two: configure SMS sent SMSA or Aramex zones, enable Unifonic SMS, and share your store link via Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok Shop if applicable. Pin the link in bio and use UTM tags to see which channel converts.
Week three: review first-order feedback, adjust remote-area shipping fees, and enable Moyasar or HyperPay if you started with only Tap. Scale ad spend only after fulfillment SLAs are stable — Saudi customers punish slow delivery with public reviews.
Document your gateway test transaction IDs and SMSA zone table in Mrfqy order notes during week one — you will reuse those settings when you duplicate the store for a second Saudi brand under the same account.
