Why merchants make the switch

One SAR 100 sale. Two very different outcomes.
The difference starts after your customer hits pay.
On Salla
A SAR 100 mada sale stays simple. Around SAR 2 goes to payment fees, and the rest is yours. Salla does not take an extra platform cut.
On Shopify
That same SAR 100 sale can cost you twice, with gateway fees plus an extra Shopify transaction fee. You also start with a higher monthly subscription.
The cost difference
50% lower mada payment fees
Around SAR 2 per SAR 100 sale on Salla, versus around SAR 4 on Shopify.
Salla charges 1% + SAR 1 per mada transaction. On Shopify Basic, merchants using an external payment gateway can also pay an additional 2% Shopify transaction fee on top of the gateway fee.*
Salla adds no platform commission to your orders.
Unlimited products, always
Add as many physical or digital products as you need without listing fees or paying more as your catalog grows.
More included in your plan
Hosting, security, updates, and a domain with annual plans are already included. Salla starts from SAR 99/month, while Shopify starts from about SAR 146/month on monthly billing, with the domain priced separately.
