Shopify, Magento 2 and Salla: Pros, Cons & Use Cases For Middle East Brands magnetoitsolutions.com

Are you struggling to decide which eCommerce platform is best for your business? Many Saudi brands are faced with the same dilemma.

With Vision 2030 driving digital transformation forward, providing a seamless online purchasing experience has become a primary objective.

However, without sufficient insight, brands sometimes end up selecting a platform that does not meet their requirements.

To make things easier, let’s look at the three widely used platforms in Saudi Arabia, Shopify, Salla, and Magento, and how they may be used to achieve diverse business objectives. Each platform has its own set of capabilities, and the best option will ultimately be determined by your unique project needs.

Magento development (Adobe Commerce) is for the brands requiring complete control, scalability, and advanced-level workflows with lots of customisation and worldwide reach.

With developments such as Hyvä Themes, Magento 2 can connect with global standards with local development potential, making it even more desirable for Middle Eastern businesses.

On the other hand, a Shopify agency highlights how the platform offers a low-profile, flexible, and scalable option for businesses of all sizes, specifically trusted by small and medium enterprises with a massive app ecosystem and fast setup.

With Shopify Plus features, brands can now get better features, including a custom checkout experience, multiple integrations, and POS support, which will help ensure your brand can run multiple stores at a time.

Salla is designed particularly for merchants who need a store for their local needs. By offering an easy-to-use SaaS platform and effortless integration with local payment gateways and logistics platforms, it’s helping the local businesses.

This blog provides a comprehensive contrast of Shopify, Magento, and Salla, making Middle Eastern businesses opt for the platform most suitable to their development potential, technical ability, and business requirements.
