هل تحتاج خبرة تقنية عشان تبدأ متجر إلكتروني

Sahl Thursday,10 Jul 2025

Many people hesitate to start an online store because they feel it requires a technical or programming background. This is a common belief, but it's not always true! Today, with the advancement of tools and platforms, building an online store no longer requires you to be a programmer or a technical expert.
1. Platforms now make everything easier:
E-commerce platforms like Shopify, Salla, Zid, and others provide ready-made, easy-to-use solutions. You can simply choose a design, upload your products, and set up a payment gateway, all without writing a line of code.
2. What skills do you need instead of technology?
Instead of focusing on programming, focus on:
• Understanding the customer and target market
• Choosing the right products
• Digital marketing
• Customer service
This means that even if you don't know programming, you can succeed if you focus on the business and marketing aspects.
3. So, when do you need a technical expert?
If you have a complex store or a custom idea, such as one with a subscription system or one that requires integration with external software, you may need technical support or a programmer to help you. But for a start? You rarely need a technical person.
4. Real-life experiences from the Saudi market:
Many store owners in Saudi Arabia started without a technical background and relied on ready-made platforms. As the project grew, they began expanding the team and adding experts.
5. Advice: Don't let technology stop you.
The most important thing is to get started and learn as you go. Technology isn't an obstacle, and there are many platforms that offer technical support, explanations, and communities to help you overcome any problems.
You don't need technical experience to get started, but you do need a desire to learn and understand the market. Over time, you can develop your skills or seek the help of experts if necessary.
