Shopify agency for brands selling in Jordan
Shopify stores for Jordanian brands selling at home and across the Gulf, with Arabic and English storefronts, local payments and courier delivery set up properly.
Shopify experts for Jordan brands
Jordan is a small market of around eleven million people, but it punches above its weight in eCommerce thanks to a well-educated, bilingual population and a strong start-up community. Many Jordanian brands sell beyond the country from early on, reaching Jordanians working in the Gulf and Arab customers worldwide. Dead Sea skincare, olive oil, embroidered textiles and modest fashion are among the products that travel well.
BOOST STAR Experts builds and grows Shopify stores for Jordanian brands and for regional brands entering Jordan. We set up Arabic and English storefronts, card and local payment options, cash on delivery with order confirmation, courier integrations and shipping to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and beyond. After launch we focus on social campaigns, search and conversion work that suits a bilingual audience.
Selling online in Jordan: what your store needs
Cards, CliQ and cash on delivery
Card payments have grown quickly, but cash on delivery remains common, especially for first orders. CliQ, Jordan’s instant payment system, lets customers pay by bank transfer using an alias, and mobile wallets such as Zain Cash and Orange Money are in use. Gateways such as HyperPay handle local and international cards for online stores.
Sales tax and data protection
Jordan applies a general sales tax, with a standard rate of 16% and lower rates for some goods. Customer prices are normally shown including tax. The Personal Data Protection Law adopted in 2023 sets rules on consent and handling customer information, and businesses need a registered entity to sign up with most local payment providers.
Couriers and Gulf shipping
Aramex, which was founded in Amman, is widely used for both domestic and international parcels, along with Jordan Post, DHL and local courier companies. Delivery within Amman is quick, while other governorates take longer. For cross-border orders, customs paperwork and clear duty information make a big difference.
Bilingual, social-first shoppers
Many Jordanians are comfortable in both Arabic and English, so stores often run both languages. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok drive discovery, and customers commonly ask questions on WhatsApp before buying. Ramadan, Eid and the end-of-year sales are the busiest periods, and tourists visiting Petra and Wadi Rum add demand for local crafts.

Frequently asked questions
Which payment methods can a Jordanian Shopify store offer?
Most stores combine card payments through a regional gateway such as HyperPay with cash on delivery, which is added as a manual method. Some brands also accept CliQ transfers with manual confirmation. We help you choose a gateway that supports your business registration and test every option before launch.
Can we sell to customers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
Yes. Many Jordanian brands have strong demand in the Gulf. We add those markets with their own currencies and prices, connect couriers that serve the routes, prepare customs details for each product and make sure Gulf customers see delivery times and any duties clearly before they pay.
Should our store be in Arabic, English or both?
Usually both. Arabic reaches the widest audience in Jordan and the Gulf, while English suits premium brands, younger shoppers and international buyers. Shopify Markets lets you run both on one store with proper right-to-left layout for Arabic and hreflang tags for search.
How does working with a team in India fit Jordanian hours?
India is 2.5 hours ahead of Jordan all year, so most of your day overlaps with ours. We schedule calls from Sunday to Thursday by agreement, send written updates each evening and adjust meeting times during Ramadan to suit your hours.
Can you help a Dead Sea skincare brand sell abroad?
Yes. We build product pages that explain minerals, ingredients and usage clearly, set up international shipping and check which product information each destination requires. Cosmetics rules differ by country, so we plan target markets with you before launching campaigns there.
