How Much Does an Online Store Cost on Salla, Zid or Zammit?
Solvia Agency · Updated August 2026
Opening an online store in the Gulf has two cost layers people often mix up: the platform subscription you pay Salla, Zid or Zammit, and the build cost of designing, stocking and launching the store itself. Here is the honest 2026 breakdown.
Layer 1: platform subscription (yearly)
| Platform | Entry plans | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Salla | Free – ~SAR 2,340/yr for Plus | Largest Saudi ecosystem, huge app store |
| Zid | ~SAR 1,600 – 5,000/yr | Strong retail tooling & integrations |
| Zammit | From ~$20/month | Popular for Egypt & multi-market sellers |
Plus payment gateway fees per transaction (mada, Apple Pay, Tamara, Tabby, typically 2-3% + fixed fee).
Layer 2: store build cost (one-time)
| Tier | Typical range (SAR) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| DIY / freelancer | 500 – 2,000 | Template as-is, your time, no gateway help |
| Professional launch | 2,000 – 5,000 | Themed design, products uploaded, gateways & shipping connected |
| Custom brand store | 5,000 – 12,000+ | Custom theme, full catalog, launch campaign |
What quietly raises the cost
- Product count and content: writing 100 good product descriptions is real work, and it drives SEO sales later.
- Payment gateway paperwork: commercial registration and bank steps stall many launches, ask who handles them.
- Post-launch support: a store with nobody to fix issues in week two is how launches die.
