Why a shopping app makes sense for As-Salt
As-Salt is a commercial centre in Jordan where around 89,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build mobile commerce apps for local businesses.
Jordan has a well-educated, digitally active population and a strong startup scene in Amman. CliQ instant payments and COD together cover most shoppers.
For a business in As-Salt, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own shopping app keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Localised for As-Salt, not translated into it
Conversion in As-Salt depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a As-Salt shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in JOD, written the local way.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Arabic and English where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in As-Salt recognise: CliQ instant payments and eFAWATEERcom and delivery through Jordan Post.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .jo where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +962 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Custom-built for how you sell in As-Salt
As-Salt businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom shopping app, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
In As-Salt we typically work with retail brands, grocery and pharmacy chains, restaurants and cloud kitchens and distributors with dealer networks, and with sellers in categories such as fashion, electronics, beauty and groceries that have strong online demand in Jordan.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
What your shopping app includes
These are the building blocks of a shopping app. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your As-Salt operation needs.
Customer shopping app
Browse, search, wish-lists, cart, wallet and UPI or card checkout, order tracking and push offers. Bulk import and sync tools mean the As-Salt team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Dealer and B2B app
Account pricing, quick re-order, statements, schemes and barcode scanning for trade buyers. Payment steps are built around CliQ instant payments, eFAWATEERcom and Visa and Mastercard, the options shoppers here already trust.
Delivery partner app
Assigned orders, route navigation, proof of delivery, COD collection and status updates. Shipping rules can use Jordan Post, Aramex and DHL Express as well as your own delivery staff in As-Salt.
Store and admin app
Order alerts, stock updates, price changes and sales snapshots for owners and managers. Inventory can sit in As-Salt, in a partner warehouse or across Jordan, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Engagement
Segmented push notifications, deep links, in-app banners, loyalty and referral programmes. Reports show which products, customers and areas of As-Salt drive revenue.
Performance and offline
Fast native-feel UI, image caching, offline cart and graceful handling of poor networks. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in As-Salt look for products, in Arabic and English if your audience needs it.
Industries in As-Salt we work with
Popular online categories in Jordan include fashion, electronics, beauty, groceries, home and gifts. In As-Salt, we most often build mobile commerce apps for:

For distributors with dealer networks, we usually start with engagement, then add maps and location services once orders are flowing.
D2C start-ups

Marketplace operators

How As-Salt customers pay online
A store that serves As-Salt should let customers pay the way they do offline: CliQ instant payments, eFAWATEERcom, Visa and Mastercard and cash on delivery.
Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in JOD — card details stay with the provider.
- EFAWATEERcom
- CliQ instant payments
- Visa and Mastercard
- Cash on delivery
- Mobile wallets (Zain Cash, Orange Money)
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in As-Salt
Your shopping app can book shipments and share tracking with Jordan Post, Aramex, DHL Express, Fetchr and local couriers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across As-Salt.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
As-Salt sellers: marketplace plus your own store
For a As-Salt business, OpenSooq, Talabat, Careem Quik and Amazon (cross-border) are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Selling online legally in Jordan
Jordan General Sales Tax is 16% standard, with lower rates for some essentials.
Customer data is handled with the Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Law No. 7 of 2017.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in As-Salt.
Take your As-Salt store onto customers' phones
In As-Salt, shoppers browse on phones first. Every app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, with crash reporting, analytics and release management included.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on As-Salt time (UTC+3), in Arabic and English if you want.
- Barcode and QR scanning
- Analytics and crash reporting
- Customer support chat
- Payment SDKs and wallets
- Firebase and push messaging
- Maps and location services
- Commerce APIs and headless backends
- Social login
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
A phased launch plan for As-Salt
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a shopping app in As-Salt:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| MVP app | Core shopping, checkout, order tracking and push notifications. Configured for JOD, CliQ instant payments and Jordan Post from the start. |
| Engage | Loyalty, referrals, personalised offers and deep links. |
| Extend | Dealer, delivery and admin apps on the same backend. Reviewed against how As-Salt customers actually buy. |
We track app installs and active users, app conversion rate, push-notification click rate, crash-free sessions, store rating and share of revenue from app on a live dashboard from day one, so As-Salt results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
As-Salt runs on UTC+3, which is 2h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Arabic. You get a named lead, direct engineer access and an NDA if you ask.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; As-Salt clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
