Before choosing a platform for your store, make sure it offers you 7 ready and built-in things: a truly Arabic interface, one-click payment, instant integration with more than 100 shipping companies, a rich community of merchants and service providers at lower prices, fast integration with ads, complete clarity with no hidden fees, and a website that doesn't crash during peak seasons. Salla outperforms many platforms by offering you these basics as an integrated solution that lets you manage your entire business without leaving the platform, with free marketing and zero commission on sales.

The Scenario

Imagine spending thousands on Snapchat and TikTok ads, bringing excited customers to your store. The customer browses the products, selects what they want, reaches the payment page... and is suddenly shocked by how limited or complicated the payment options are! They close the page and leave. You look for a solution only to discover that your platform takes a percentage of every sale, or that the shipping options are limited and expensive. The customer is frustrated, and your budget has gone to waste on top of your monthly subscription!

The Real Problem

The problem is that you compare platforms based on the number of features they advertise, without asking the most important question: Do these features work together, or is each one separate? A platform that gives you one tool for shipping, another for payment, and a separate system for cashier is actually entangling you in a technical maze. As a merchant, you should focus on sales and marketing, not on integrating systems. When "features" are just scattered add-ons, you will pay hidden costs for every integration, and you will discover that parts of your store clash instead of integrate, wasting your time trying to make different systems work together.

Introducing the Solution

This is where Salla comes in to change the game. Salla doesn't just launch a feature, but rather an integrated solution that serves the merchant and simplifies their life. Instead of searching for parts and assembling them, Salla provides you with an integrated environment where everything communicates seamlessly with everything else. From payments to shipping, advertising, and even managing your branches, it is all in one place and with no hidden fees.

The feature that no one can compete with is that 1 out of every 2 people in Saudi Arabia has previously purchased from a store on Salla, meaning your store is trusted by the buyer from day one, and the customer's details are saved and ready, making your conversion speed much higher and the payment experience take seconds.

The 7 Basics (How does it work?)

These are the seven basics that make Salla the strongest integrated solution:

First Basic: Ready-to-use payment gateways with no commission percentage

Activate Mada, Apple Pay, and credit cards with a click of a button. Most importantly: flat fees (1 SAR) on every sales transaction in paid packages, without taking a percentage of your sales or profits.

Second Basic: Instant integration with more than 100 shipping companies

With the click of a button, your store is linked to more than 100 local and international shipping companies (including 9 discounted shipping labels issued directly by Salla). Options to suit every customer and budget.

Third Basic: Integrated cashier system (Salla Point)

If you have physical branches, Salla Point connects your stores with your online store. One inventory, unified reports, and all managed from the same control panel with no extra fees.

Fourth Basic: Direct integration with advertising platforms

Accurate tracking of your campaigns on Snapchat, TikTok, Meta, and Google. The integration is done in minutes and without the need for programmers or external tools.

Fifth Basic: A huge community of merchants and service providers

Because Salla is the largest platform, its community includes thousands of merchants and service providers. This means more experience, higher competition among service providers, and consequently lower prices and better quality for your service.

Sixth Basic: Free marketing with 0 commissions

Unlike platforms that force complex systems on you or charge exaggerated commissions, Salla provides you with built-in marketing tools that help you sell more without sharing your profits.

Seventh Basic: Complete stability during peak seasons

Your website stands strong like a mountain in the midst of busy seasons (such as Ramadan and Eid). A platform that can handle any volume of traffic, without paying additional fees for the increase in visitors.

Real-life Example

Imagine a perfume store during the "Ramadan" season. It launched a strong campaign on TikTok, Snapchat, and Google. Thousands of visitors entered at the same moment. The website did not crash (Basic 7), the customer found their details ready and paid with Apple Pay in seconds (Basic 1 + buyer trust), and chose a shipping company from among 100 options (Basic 2). At the same time, their branch in the mall sells via Salla Point (Basic 3), and the inventory updates automatically. All this while the merchant pays only 1 SAR as a transaction fee, with no hidden commissions. This is the integrated solution!

When do you need it?

You need to ensure these basics if you:

• Want a clear platform that doesn't surprise you with hidden fees every month.

• Are looking for an integrated solution that connects online and offline (physical stores) in one place.

• Need a strong infrastructure that can handle your massive advertising campaigns.

• Want to focus on your business growth and leave the technology to the platform.

Remote Control

From your mobile, you can track all these basics working together. View branch sales, online orders, and shipment status on one screen.
