Zid

Zid is a Riyadh headquartered Saudi holding company that operates a commerce enablement platform allowing retailers, entrepreneurs, and SMEs to launch online stores, manage inventory, process payments, and ship products through a single ecosystem. The company addresses the digitization gap in MENA retail by offering localized solutions including its proprietary payment gateway ZidPay, logistics service ZidShip, and the Zid Hub merchant ecosystem, alongside more than 400 third-party application integrations and a recent Amazon Marketplace integration that lets Saudi merchants sell into the UAE and vice versa. Zid serves more than 8,000 active merchant stores across categories ranging from apparel and beauty to home and garden, with strong concentration in Saudi Arabia and growing presence in the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and Egypt. The company differentiates itself through its focus on small and medium retailers, omnichannel commerce capabilities that connect physical stores with online sales, and its alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives for digital transformation, having recently launched generative AI features that automate product description generation and content translation for merchants.
