The checkout problem

Your traffic is fine. Your checkout leaks.

Out of 1,000 checkout sessions a standard Shopify setup keeps about 268 orders. Most of the loss comes from three fixable things.

A converted price, not a local one

Shopify shows a converted estimate. Gulf buyers who see the wrong currency at the last step drop off, about 30% by our numbers.

Too many fields for repeat buyers

Every returning buyer re-types address and card details. Nine fields on a phone is where carts get abandoned.

One rule set for six countries

The same payment methods, tax, shipping and promos everywhere, when UAE, Saudi and Kuwait buyers pay differently.

Local currency

Real settlement, not a converted price tag

GulfCart processes and settles in AED, SAR, KWD, QAR, BHD and OMR. Buyers pay the price they were shown, in a currency they recognize.

  • Native settlement in 6 GCC currencies
  • No surprise conversion at payment
  • Builds buyer trust at the last step

One-tap checkout

One tap for anyone who's checked out before

GulfCart's buyer network recognizes a shopper who has checked out with any brand on the network and pre-fills their details. Less typing, fewer people giving up.

  • Fields drop from 9 to 2 for known buyers
  • Address and card pre-filled
  • Around 23 seconds to complete checkout

FAQ

Shopify checkout in the Gulf: common questions

Does GulfCart replace my Shopify checkout?+

No. GulfCart installs on top of your existing Shopify store. Your theme, products and orders stay as they are.

Can a Shopify checkout settle in AED, SAR or KWD?+

Yes. GulfCart processes and settles in AED, SAR, KWD, QAR, BHD and OMR, rather than showing a converted display price.

What is one-tap checkout on Shopify?+

GulfCart's buyer network recognizes anyone who has checked out with a brand on the network and pre-fills their details, cutting the form from 9 fields to 2.

How do I show different payment methods in different countries?+

You set the payment method list and its order per country, for example Tabby, Tamara, Apple Pay, cards and COD, instead of one global list.

How do I improve Shopify checkout conversion in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?+

Fix the three common leaks: show the buyer's real local currency, reduce form fields for returning buyers, and apply country-specific payment methods and COD verification.
