Checked Nov 12, 2026.

Salla is a Saudi e-commerce platform for building and running online stores, with a merchant dashboard, an app store, a free tools section, store automations and a public API. Its help center covers store plans, annual plan installments and a higher-tier Special plan. Plan prices sit behind a bot check and are not recorded here.

## Pricing

Salla's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Online store management:** The help center covers orders, order statuses, invoices, abandoned carts, shipping company integrations and customer complaints in the merchant dashboard.
- **App store:** The Salla App Store holds apps that extend stores, and developers can publish their own apps through the developer portal.
- **Merchant APIs and webhooks:** RESTful merchant APIs and webhooks let outside tools read and manage orders and other store data.
- **Automations and AI tools:** Merchants can build, test and publish automations, share automation templates, and use AI prompt and design tools in the dashboard.
- **ChatGPT and Claude connections:** Help articles explain how to connect a store to ChatGPT and to Claude.

## Good for

- Merchants selling to customers in Saudi Arabia
- Stores that want an app store and APIs to extend the platform

## Worth knowing

- Salla's pricing pages answered with a bot check, so no plan prices were read and none are recorded.
- The help center describes a Special plan for large merchants with an account manager, and installments for annual plans.
- The help center and dashboard are written mainly in Arabic; an English toggle exists on the help site.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Salla you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
