Before selling your first digital card in Saudi Arabia, you need to align two aspects together: a clear e-commerce business setup for the customer, and your right to sell the card you will be listing. Setting up a store and accepting payments does not, by itself, prove that the supplier allows you to resell every code in their catalogue. On the other hand, having permission from the supplier does not exempt you from business setup requirements, store obligations, and customer rights.

This is a pre-launch decision checklist, not legal advice or a specific digital card licence. Requirements vary based on your business structure, the products, and their sourcing method. Start with official sources, then consult a specialist if your case is unclear.

What should you arrange regarding your business and store?

Review the E-Commerce Law and its executive regulations from the Ministry of Commerce, and the store verification service via the Business Platform (Baladi / Business Platform), then verify the appropriate legal form for your business, its details, bank account, and authentication requirements at the time of application. Do not rely on outdated advice telling you to verify your store via "Maroof"; the Ministry of Commerce announced the transition of verification to the Business Platform.

Customers need to know who is selling to them, how to contact the store, what they will receive, when they will receive it, and how issues are resolved. Establish privacy, complaints, exchange, and refund policies tailored to your product and applicable consumer rights, and review the e-commerce store compliance checklist before launching. Do not use the phrase "Digital cards are strictly non-refundable" as a blanket rule without reviewing product condition, regulations, and appropriate policy.

Regarding tax and invoicing, review your business obligations in the E-Commerce Tax Guide provided by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA). Do not apply a tax threshold or rule from another merchant's experience to your store; this is dictated by your own status, turnover, and supply model.

Do you have the right to sell every card in your catalogue?

Ask the supplier about the source of the codes and the resale agreement for each product and market, and retain their response and documentation. Pay attention to account region, currency, expiry date, and the procedure for resolving used or invalid codes. Purchasing a code does not automatically grant you a licence to resell it; the issuing party's terms may vary from one card to another. For example, the Roblox card terms specific to Saudi Arabia include restrictions that must be reviewed for the relevant product and market.

If you do not obtain verified documentation for a specific product, do not compensate for the gap with marketing copy. Leave the product out of the launch and start with another card whose terms you fully understand.

Separate three distinct approvals

Before publishing a product, maintain three separate lines in your launch sheet: store business status and its official verification source, your right to resell this specific product backed by supplier or issuer documentation, and what you promise the customer on the page and in your policies. Approval to open a merchant account does not mean the card issuer approves reselling their codes, and a supplier invoice does not automatically outline customer rights if delivery fails. Link each line to a document, review date, and a point of contact who can address questions.

If the supply or region field remains blank, publish the remaining clear products and postpone this one. This step does not hold back your entire project; it is a strategy to launch a leaner catalogue you can properly service. When the terms of the card issuer or your supplier change, review the page description before advertising it again. You can build the product on Salla and test its flow after resolving these points, but do not rely on the checkout page to explain your commercial rights or store policy to the customer.

Pre-listing decision example

Suppose you found a gaming card with a specific value from a supplier. They confirmed the price and quantity, but did not specify whether it is for a Saudi account or another country, nor whether you have the right to resell it. This card is not ready to be listed—even if the purchase button works. Request the regional details, commercial rights, and dispute process, then write the product description once verified. Afterwards, set up a single card on Salla and test the checkout and delivery journey instead of uploading dozens of codes at once.

If your business documents and product details are clear, start setting up your card store on Salla with a small, testable step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is opening a store on Salla enough to sell any digital card?

No. Creating a store is an operational step. You also need to verify your business status, store compliance requirements, card origin, resale rights, and terms of use. Review current legal requirements before listing.

Are all digital cards non-refundable?

It is incorrect to generalize. Draft a clear policy reflecting the code's status and applicable consumer rights, and review regulatory and supplier terms. If the product description or region was incorrect on the store's end, resolve the issue fairly.

Can I copy another supplier's terms and conditions?

No. Product terms, regional restrictions, and supply methods can vary significantly. Request the specific documentation for your own card, and display clear, applicable terms to the customer for their order.

Once the primary checkpoints are verified, launch your digital card store on Salla and add the first product you have confirmed. If you are ready to open your account now, register directly.
