Shopify agency for Beirut brands
Shopify stores for Beirut’s designers, jewellers and food brands, built for local cash orders and customers around the world who love Lebanese design.
Shopify development and growth for Beirut brands
Beirut has long been the Arab world’s centre for fashion, design and publishing. Couture houses, jewellers and independent designers cluster in neighbourhoods such as Mar Mikhael, Gemmayzeh and Achrafieh, alongside concept stores, roasters and food brands selling za’atar, olive oil and sweets. Despite years of economic difficulty, many Beirut brands have grown by selling to customers abroad, especially in the Gulf, France and the Americas.
We work with Beirut brands remotely, with good overlap in working hours. Typical projects include design-led stores for fashion and jewellery labels, cash on delivery set-up with local couriers, international shipping for food and gifts, and campaigns that reach the Lebanese diaspora and international fans of Beirut design.
What Beirut brands need from their store
Couture and independent designers
Beirut designers often sell both ready-to-wear and made-to-order pieces. We build stores with lookbooks, measurement forms and appointment booking, so clients in Dubai, Paris or Montreal can order with the same confidence as a visit to the atelier.
Jewellery and gold
Jewellers need detailed photography, materials and sizing information. We add ring size guides, engraving options and insured international shipping, which matters for high-value gold and diamond orders sent to customers abroad.
Lebanese food and gifts
Za’atar, olive oil, sweets and spices sell well to the diaspora. We set up gift boxes, holiday collections and shipping rules that respect each destination’s food import requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers abroad book made-to-order pieces?
Yes. We add consultation booking, measurement forms and deposits for made-to-order items, with production times shown clearly. Clients can follow their order through emails, and final payments can be collected before shipping, so you are never left holding a finished piece unpaid.
How do you handle cash on delivery with local couriers?
We set up cash on delivery at checkout, connect your courier where integrations exist and mark orders as paid when cash is collected. Order confirmation messages help reduce refused deliveries and keep your records accurate.
Do you have an office in Beirut?
No. Our team works remotely from India and serves Beirut brands through video calls, a shared project board and staging stores for approvals. The time difference is small, so questions usually get answered on the same day.
