How to choose a booking system in Saudi Arabia

1. 1

   Real Arabic

   A booking page your customer reads in Arabic, right to left, and a dashboard your staff understand, not a partial translation.

2. 2

   Pricing and commissions

   Is the price per shop or per staff member? Is there a commission on new clients or on every booking? Work it out on a full month of bookings.

3. 3

   Local payments

   mada and Apple Pay are how most of your customers pay. Check that the system takes them and that the money reaches your account.

4. 4

   E-invoicing

   If you are VAT registered, ZATCA Phase 2 applies to you. A system that issues the invoice and reports it saves you a second program.

5. 5

   Your trade’s logic

   A restaurant books tables, a court books hours, a class books seats. A system built only for salons will fight you if your business is different.

6. 6

   Trial length

   A week is not enough to see whether a system pays for itself. Try it through a real season before you pay.
