FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How pricing works
GCC localization starts with an infrastructure audit of your current payments, logistics and tech stack. Scope and fees are confirmed after that audit. For reference, specialist D2C agency retainers in the UAE typically range from AED 8,000 to AED 35,000 per month, depending on scope.
01
Which GCC markets do you cover?
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, with most entry projects starting in the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
02
Which payment options matter most in the GCC?
Cards, Apple Pay and BNPL options such as Tabby and Tamara are expected. In Saudi Arabia, mada debit cards are widely used, and cash on delivery is still common in several markets.
03
Do you help with shipping and fulfilment?
Yes. We connect brands with vetted 3PL and last-mile delivery partners for the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
04
Do we need an Arabic version of our store?
For Saudi Arabia it is strongly recommended. Arabic UX, right-to-left layouts and localized product content build trust and help you rank for Arabic searches.
05
Can you help negotiate software pricing?
Yes. We use our agency relationships to secure better pricing and onboarding for tools such as Klaviyo, Yotpo and loyalty apps.
