Shopify Alternative for Online Stores in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

Get a complete online store — product catalogue, shopping cart, secure checkout and an order dashboard — built in minutes on Stunning, no code and no developer. Unlike Shopify, it's set up for the Gulf from day one: AED, SAR or EGP pricing, VAT-ready invoices, local payment gateways like Moyasar, Tap, PayTabs, Paymob and Tabby, and WhatsApp built in so customers can order and ask questions instantly. Describe your shop once. Stunning builds the store, the cart, the admin panel and the payment flow — live the same day.

How it works

  • Tell Stunning what you sell — products, categories, prices in AED, SAR or EGP
  • Stunning builds your store: catalogue, cart, checkout and order dashboard
  • Connect your payment gateway (Moyasar, Tap, PayTabs, Paymob or Tabby)
  • Connect WhatsApp so customers can order and message you directly
  • Go live — no developer, no monthly plugin bills, no waiting on a build queue

Who this is for

Retail shops, paint and hardware suppliers, restaurants taking online orders, fashion and sportswear brands, and any trading or e-commerce business in Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah or Cairo that wants to sell online without wrestling with a page builder. If your customers already order through WhatsApp and you want a real cart and checkout on top, this is built for you.

What makes Stunning different from Shopify

Shopify was built for a different market — different currencies, no VAT invoicing out of the box, no ZATCA e-invoicing, no WhatsApp, and you still need apps and themes to make it work for the Gulf. Stunning builds the whole system — store, cart, payments, invoicing and WhatsApp — around how you actually sell here. No app store, no monthly add-on fees, no code.

Frequently asked questions

How much does this cost compared to Shopify?

Stunning gives you the store, cart, payments and WhatsApp in one system, without stacking app fees on top like Shopify often requires. Ask us for current pricing for your business size.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

No. You describe your store and products in plain language, and Stunning builds the catalogue, cart, checkout and dashboard for you. No code, no theme files.

Does the store work in Arabic and English?

Yes. Your store, product pages and WhatsApp messages can run in Arabic, English, or both, so you can serve local and international customers from one site.

Can it handle VAT and ZATCA e-invoicing?

Yes. Invoices can be set up to include VAT, and for businesses in Saudi Arabia, Stunning can align with ZATCA e-invoicing requirements.

Which payment methods can my customers use?

Stunning connects with Moyasar, Tap, PayTabs, Paymob and Tabby, so customers can pay by card, local wallets or instalments, depending on what you enable.

Where is my store and order data kept?

Your products, orders and customer data stay in your own Stunning system. You control access, and it isn't shared with other merchants or third-party app stores.
