/ How Kuwait pays
KNET, instalments and Arabic, built into checkout.
A Kuwaiti store is won or lost at the payment step. We settle KNET, instalments and cash on delivery with your bank and courier first, then design the store in Arabic and English.
KNET
KNET at checkout, through a gateway
Every Kuwaiti bank card clears through KNET, which reaches Shopify through a gateway that carries it. We set that gateway up as your primary method.
Gateways
A Kuwaiti provider, agreed with your bank
MyFatoorah, UPayments and Tap Payments all connect to Shopify, and one Kuwaiti provider can carry KNET, cards and Apple Pay together. We agree the provider with your bank at scoping.
Instalments
Tabby and Tamara, where shoppers decide
Both connect to Shopify. We design the instalment message into the theme, on the product page and again in the cart, where the buying decision happens.
Refunds
Settlements that match their orders
KNET settles to your bank in batches. We match each batch to its orders, post provider fees to their own account and rehearse refunds before launch.
No VAT
No VAT to charge in Kuwait today
There is no VAT to collect or file in Kuwait today. We still add tax fields to products and the ledger, so future tax is configuration, not a rebuild.
Arabic
Arabic, mirrored across the theme
Arabic needs mirrored grids, flipped icons, Arabic numerals and generous line height. We build all four into the theme and test on real phones on a Kuwaiti network.
Bilingual
Arabic and English on one record
Translate & Adapt, Shopify’s free app, handles translation. Both languages, Arabic specifications and search synonyms sit on one product record, so no second catalogue drifts.
Cash
Cash on delivery, with rules attached
Plenty of Kuwaiti orders still close at the door. We set an order ceiling and delivery areas, and agree the refused-parcel path with your courier.

AI stock and ledger reconciliationOdoo and Dynamics/ How we deliver
Four stages, from scope to a store that runs.
Most builds land in one of four bands, from 3 to 8 weeks for a theme rebuild to 6 to 12 months for an enterprise programme. Catalogue, integrations, languages and markets decide which.
Step 01
Fit and scope
Catalogue, KNET routing, channels and the finance hand-off are agreed before design starts, with your accounts team in the room.
Step 02
Design and build
Both reading directions are designed together and the theme stays upgrade-safe. You see working software every fortnight, not slides.
Step 03
Integrate and launch
We join gateway, instalment provider, ERP and courier, then push test orders through all four. Launch day has a rollback route and monitoring already on.
Step 04
Run and grow
A shared roadmap, a compatibility pass on every Shopify release, and the same lead before and after go-live.
/ Already built, already proved
Start from work we have already shipped.
Much of what a proposal bills as discovery we have already built: multi-site retail, a dealer portal, a large replatform and an ERP-safe migration. Each card opens its case.
Multi-website
[20+]marketplace integrations behind one back office
Several brands, several sites, one ledger
A footwear and fashion brand ran many websites it could not see together. A multi-company Odoo gave one view, Shopify synced products and orders, and 20+ marketplaces plugged in on top.
Enterprise band · [6 to 12 months]Read the case →
B2B
[2,000]dealers moved to self-service ordering
Trade ordering beside the retail store
Two thousand dealers left email and spreadsheets for one login, each with its own catalogue and prices. Around 25 price tiers run natively in Shopify Plus B2B, with no custom code.
Migration
[1.1M]SKUs replatformed in three months
A large estate moved without a shutdown
Five years of Salesforce Commerce Cloud moved to Shopify for Enterprise in three months, in stages, with zero operational downtime. Your programme reuses the sequence and the rollback points.
ERP intact
The storefront moves, the finance system does not
A jewellery retailer left Magento for Shopify while Odoo kept stock, customers and the accounts, syncing product data in real time. Your storefront can change without your ledger.

Retail & eCommerce
Showroom networks selling online. One catalogue feeds the branch, the website and the marketplace, so stock and price change once.
Explore retail commerce cases →Trading & distribution
Agency groups with brands under separate companies. Trade buyers order on account from their own catalogue, and the group still reports as one.
Explore manufacturing cases →Automotive parts
Each part matched to the vehicles it fits, with dealer stores and workshop booking on live branch stock.
Explore automotive cases →Jewellery & watches
High-value gold baskets need fraud checks sized to the order, certificates on every piece and made-to-order lead times shown up front.
Explore diamond and jewellery cases →Health & wellness
For pharmacies and supplement sellers, purchase rules and customer data limits are fixed in the data model before any design.
Explore healthcare cases →Logistics & fulfilment
Rate cards, courier handover, tracking a buyer can read in Arabic, and the weekly cash-on-delivery reconciliation finance depends on.
Explore logistics cases →Real estate & lifestyle
For developers and brokers the valuable event is an enquiry, so every lead reaches the CRM complete and at once.
Explore real estate cases →Education
Course sales, material bundles and enrolment journeys run from the storefront you already have, with no second system to maintain.

/ What Kuwaiti buyers ask
Shopify in Kuwait, answered.
Is Brainvire a Shopify partner?
Yes. Brainvire is a Shopify Plus Partner, a Service partner since August 2021, rated 5.0 from 10 client reviews. The tier covers the whole company, so your build draws on 1,000+ engineers across 10+ global offices.
What Shopify work can we see before we sign?
Start with the cards on this page: Sacoor Brothers’ multi-store Shopify, a Shopify Plus portal for 2,000 dealers and a jewellery retailer’s move off Magento. We also connected Cole Haan’s Gulf Shopify storefronts to Microsoft Dynamics. Our Kuwait work, from Alghanim Honda to Armada, is on Kuwait case studies.
Which payment methods matter most in Kuwait?
KNET comes first, because every Kuwaiti bank card clears through it. Card gateways serve customers paying from abroad, Tabby and Tamara offer instalments, and cash on delivery is still common. We agree each one’s settlement and refund path with your finance team.
Can a Shopify checkout take KNET?
Yes, through a payment gateway that carries KNET. We connect a Kuwaiti provider such as MyFatoorah as the primary method and write each transaction reference onto its order. Which provider settles for your entity is agreed with it and your bank.
Is there VAT to configure on a Kuwaiti store?
Not today. Kuwait charges no VAT, so checkout collects none and there is no return to file. The GCC VAT framework signed in February 2017 is still under discussion in Parliament, so we add tax fields now and future VAT becomes a settings change.
Does Shopify really support Arabic right to left?
Yes, once the theme is built for it. Shopify reports each language’s reading direction; we build the mirrored layout, icons, numerals and line height, and test on phones in Kuwait. Translate & Adapt handles translation, and your team finalises the Arabic wording.
Will our Odoo or Dynamics ledger stay the system of record?
Yes, and that is usually the right design. Shopify holds the order and its payment reference; your ERP holds stock, customers and the accounts. A jewellery retailer we moved off Magento kept its Odoo backend untouched. See Odoo ERP in Kuwait.
Shopify Plus or Adobe Commerce for a Kuwaiti catalogue?
It depends how much of the stack you want to run. Shopify Plus takes hosting, patches and peak traffic off your team. Adobe Commerce suits groups whose brands share one catalogue with complex pricing, or whose board wants to own the infrastructure. We compare both on your catalogue first.
How long does a Shopify build take, and what drives the cost?
Scope decides both. Small stores take 8 to 12 weeks, mid-market builds 12 to 24 weeks and enterprise programmes 6 to 12 months; a theme rebuild takes 3 to 8 weeks. Catalogue size, connected systems, Arabic and extra Gulf markets move you up a band.
Where is your Kuwait team?
At Brainvire Kuwait in Hawalli. Workshops, training and go-live week happen there or at your site, and meetings and documentation run in English. After launch the same team stays on under an SLA, and a senior architect replies to every new enquiry within one business day.
