Before selling your first digital card in Saudi Arabia, you need to align two aspects together: a clear e-commerce business for the customer, and your right to sell the card you intend to offer. Setting up a store and accepting payments does not alone prove that the supplier permits you to resell every code in their catalogue. On the other hand, having supplier authorization does not waive business, store, or consumer rights requirements.

This is a pre-launch decision checklist, not legal advice or a specialized license for digital cards. Requirements vary depending on your legal structure, products, and supply method. Start with official sources, then review your situation with a specialist if your case is unclear.

What should you organize regarding your business and store?

Review the E-Commerce Law and its executive regulations from the Ministry of Commerce, and the store authentication service via the Business Platform (Aamal), then verify the appropriate legal structure for your activity, its details, its bank account, and authentication requirements at the time of application. Do not rely on outdated advice telling you to verify your store on "Maroof"; the Ministry of Commerce announced the transition of authentication to the Business Platform.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 appropriate for your product and applicable rights, and review the E-Commerce Store Compliance Checklist before publishing. Do not use the phrase "Cards are strictly non-refundable" as a blanket rule without reviewing the product status, applicable regulations, and appropriate policy.

Regarding tax and invoicing, review your business obligations in the E-Commerce Guideline 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 governed by your specific status, business volume, and supply model.

Do you have the right to resell 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, expiration date, and the dispute resolution process for redeemed or invalid codes. Purchasing a code does not automatically grant you a license to resell it; the issuer's terms may vary from card to card. For example, the Roblox Card Terms specific to Saudi Arabia include restrictions that must be consulted for the relevant product and market.

If you do not obtain documented confirmation 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 clearly understand.

Distinguish between three separate approvals

Before listing a product, include three distinct rows in your launch file: store business status and its official verification source, your right to resell this specific product along with documentation from the supplier or issuer, and what you promise the customer on the product page and policies. Approval to open a merchant account does not mean the card issuer consents to the resale of their codes, and a supplier document does not automatically clarify customer rights if delivery fails. Link each row to a document, its review date, and the contact person who can address it.

If the supply or region field remains blank, launch the other clear products and postpone this one. This does not delay your entire project; it is a way to launch a smaller catalogue that you can reliably support. When the terms of the card issuer or your supplier change, review your page description before re-listing it. You can build the product on Salla and test its flow once these points are settled, but never rely on the checkout page to communicate your commercial rights or policy to the customer.

A decision example before listing a card

Suppose you found a gaming card of a specific denomination with 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 hold resale rights. This card is not ready for listing—even if the buy button works. Request region details, commercial rights, and the complaint pathway, then write the description after verifying them. After that, configure a single card on Salla and test the checkout and delivery flow instead of uploading dozens of codes at once.

Once your business documents and product details are clear, start setting up your card store on Salla with a manageable step you can test.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Creating the store is merely an operational step. You also need to verify your business legal status, store requirements, the card's source, resale rights, and applicable terms. Review current requirements before publishing.

Are all digital cards non-refundable?

This cannot be generalized. Write a clear policy that accounts for the code's status and applicable rights, and review regulatory requirements alongside the supplier. If the description or region was incorrect on the store's end, resolve the issue fairly.

Can I copy another supplier's terms?

No. Product terms, region, and supply methods may differ. Request documents specific to your own card, and disclose to the customer what strictly applies to their purchase.

Once your essential verification checkpoints are complete, start your card store on Salla and add your first verified product. If you decide to open your account now, sign up directly.
