What we deliver

Built for the way GCC shoppers actually buy

GCC ecommerce is not the same as European or US ecommerce. COD rates are higher, mobile-first is non-negotiable, Arabic expectations are real, and payment rails are different. We build for this market because we work in it.

How it works

From brief to live store

Six stages, no black boxes. You see real progress at every step and have sign-off before anything goes live.

1

Discovery

We map your product catalog, target markets, regulatory requirements, and must-have integrations before writing a line of code. GCC ecommerce has regional specifics - payment methods, COD rates, Arabic search behavior - and we handle them upfront.

2

Stack selection

Shopify for speed-to-market and ecosystem depth. Custom Next.js for full performance control and complex business logic. We choose based on your scale, roadmap, and operational capacity - not what is easiest for us to build.

3

Design

High-fidelity Figma design optimized for GCC mobile users. Arabic and English layouts are designed together from the start - not translated from an English template as a second pass.

4

Build

Full storefront build including payment gateways, shipping logic, product management, and regional tax handling. Every integration is tested against live sandbox environments before handoff.

5

Launch

Full QA across devices and browsers, Core Web Vitals audit, SEO foundation including structured data, canonical URLs, and sitemap. We stay available through the first 48 hours post-launch.

6

Grow

Post-launch CRO analysis, A/B testing support, analytics dashboards, and ongoing feature development. Many clients stay with us as a long-term technical partner as their catalog and markets expand.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do you build Arabic-language storefronts?

Yes. We build bilingual Arabic/English storefronts with proper RTL layout support. Arabic is not an afterthought - we design and build both directions simultaneously so the experience is native in both languages, not a mirror-flipped version of English.

Which payment gateways do you integrate with?

We integrate with Tap Payments, Checkout.com, PayTabs, Stripe, and cash-on-delivery flows. For KSA we also support Mada card flows. We choose the right gateway based on your target markets, transaction volume, and fee structure.

Do you build on Shopify or custom?

Both. Shopify is often the right choice for D2C brands that need speed-to-market and a strong app ecosystem. A custom Next.js build is better when you need full performance control, complex pricing logic, or integrations that Shopify cannot handle natively. We advise you on which is right for your situation.

How long does a GCC ecommerce build take?

A Shopify build typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. A custom ecommerce platform takes 3 to 5 months. Timeline depends on catalog complexity, integration requirements, and how quickly decisions are made. We agree on scope and timeline before starting.

Can you migrate an existing store to a new platform?

Yes. We handle full migrations including product data, customer records, order history, SEO redirects, and URL structure preservation. We have migrated stores from WooCommerce, Magento, and older Shopify themes.

Do you work with brands outside Lebanon?

Yes. We work with brands across Lebanon, KSA, UAE, Kuwait, and internationally. Our team works remotely and our delivery process is built for distributed clients. Many of our ecommerce clients are Lebanon-origin brands expanding into the Gulf.

Why Voxire

Why MENA brands choose Voxire for GCC ecommerce

GCC ecommerce has regional specifics that generic agencies get wrong. We have built for the Gulf market and know what works.

GCC ecommerce without the guesswork

Mada card flows in KSA, COD rates in UAE and Kuwait, VAT configuration, Arabic RTL layout, Aramex integration, Snapchat Pixel setup - these are standard starting conditions on every GCC storefront we build. You do not pay us to learn the market on your project.

Lebanese brands in the Gulf is our specialty

We have helped Lebanese-origin brands establish their GCC digital presence: bilingual storefronts, regional payment methods, Gulf logistics partners, and the local SEO groundwork to compete with established Gulf brands. We understand the regulatory, cultural, and operational jump from Lebanon to the Gulf.

Optimized for Gulf mobile networks

GCC shoppers expect sub-2-second load times. We optimize specifically for the high-latency mobile conditions common across the Gulf - not just for a Google PageSpeed score measured from a US data center. Critical CSS, image optimization, and lazy loading are built into every storefront.

You own everything we build

No proprietary Voxire platform lock-in. When we hand over your store, you own the code, the admin credentials, the customer data, and the domain. Switching vendors later, if you ever choose to, does not require us to release anything or maintain our billing relationship. The store is yours.

Typical investment

Shopify GCC stores from $4,500. Custom headless storefronts from $12,000. Multi-market (KSA + UAE + Lebanon) builds scoped separately. Timeline: 6 to 14 weeks.
