hi @ranarizq90

Certainly, Shopify is there for you if you wish to employ the use of an e-commerce platform in your modest enterprise operating from Saudi Arabia.

As a resident, it is possible to create a shop selling commodities like stickers and notepads among other things using the very simple software that comes with Shopify.

The fact that it can be used within the kingdom, accepts the local currency and can be integrated with the local payment gateway mean that it is among the best platforms for any Saudi online business.
