This is for you if

Who This Is For

Your WooCommerce store serves Arabic-speaking customers. The default WooCommerce interface, and most commercial WooCommerce extensions, are built for left-to-right layouts. When your store switches to Arabic, the checkout flow, the product cards, the admin interface, and the order management screens either break visually or require constant manual correction. A custom WooCommerce extension built with Arabic RTL as a first-class requirement resolves this at the component level.

Telr and PayTabs are established payment gateways for Qatar and the GCC, but the available WordPress plugins for both are maintained to varying standards. If you need a direct integration built to current API specifications, with a bilingual admin interface for transaction management and proper handling of QAR-denominated transactions, a custom plugin delivers what a generic third-party plugin cannot guarantee.

Your WordPress site is managed by a team that includes Arabic-speaking and English-speaking members. Your current plugin admin interfaces are English-only, which means Arabic-speaking team members are operating in a second language for every configuration change. A custom plugin with a bilingual admin interface, Arabic and English, reduces errors and reduces the time it takes to train new team members on the system.

What's broken

What's Broken

Your WooCommerce Extensions Do Not Work Correctly in Arabic RTL

Most WooCommerce extensions are built and tested for LTR layouts. When you apply an Arabic RTL stylesheet, these extensions break: buttons appear on the wrong side, form fields are ordered incorrectly, checkout steps lose their visual logic, and the admin interface becomes difficult to use. A WooCommerce extension built with RTL as a design requirement, not an afterthought, works correctly in both Arabic and English without requiring manual overrides.

Your Payment Gateway Plugin Is Unreliable or Outdated

The WordPress plugin ecosystem for GCC-specific payment gateways, including Telr and PayTabs, has gaps. Available plugins are sometimes maintained by developers who are no longer active, built against outdated API versions, or missing functionality such as refund handling, webhook processing, or QAR-specific settlement configuration. Running payment processing through an unreliable plugin is a business risk. A custom integration built against current API documentation and maintained by a known team is a stable alternative.

Your Multilingual Admin Interface Creates Configuration Errors

An admin interface that exists only in English requires Arabic-speaking team members to work in translation for every task. Menu labels, form field names, and error messages that exist only in English create the conditions for configuration errors, particularly when team members are working quickly or when onboarding new staff. A bilingual admin interface that presents labels in Arabic as the primary language reduces this error surface.

Your Arabic Content Management Workflow Has No Structural Support

Managing Arabic and English content on a WordPress site without plugin support for bilingual workflows means editors maintain parity manually. Arabic posts get updated and the English version is forgotten. A page exists in English and has never been created in Arabic. A custom bilingual content management plugin with status tracking for each language version gives your editorial team the structure they need to keep both language versions current.

What we engineer

What We Do

Plugin Specification

We document the functional requirements of the plugin before development begins. For Arabic RTL projects, the specification includes the specific WooCommerce components that require RTL adaptation, the admin interface language requirements, and the editorial workflow the plugin needs to support. For payment gateway integrations, the specification covers the API endpoints, transaction types, error handling, and settlement requirements. Both specification documents are produced in Arabic and English.

Arabic RTL WooCommerce Extension Development

We build WooCommerce extensions with RTL as a first-class layout requirement, not a modification applied after the fact. Product cards, checkout steps, cart interface, order management screens, and admin configuration pages all receive RTL layout treatment. We test every component in Arabic layout at mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints.

Payment Gateway Integration: Telr and PayTabs

We build direct integrations with Telr and PayTabs against current API documentation. The integration covers payment initiation, redirect handling, webhook processing for payment confirmation and failure events, refund initiation from the WordPress admin, and transaction logging in a bilingual admin interface. QAR denomination and GCC-specific card handling are addressed in the integration logic.

Multilingual Admin Interface

We build admin interfaces for all custom plugins with Arabic as the primary language and English available. Labels, help text, error messages, and confirmation dialogs are written in both languages. The language preference is configurable per user, so team members can work in their preferred language independently.

Bilingual Content Management Tool

For organisations managing Arabic and English content, we build a content management plugin with translation status tracking per post and page, an editorial queue showing which content requires Arabic or English attention, and a side-by-side editing interface for maintaining both language versions in the same workflow. The tool is designed for editorial team members, not developers.

Unit Testing and Documentation

We write unit tests for core plugin functionality and produce technical documentation in English for developers, and operational documentation in Arabic for the team members managing the plugin through the admin interface.

Source Code Handover

Full source code, test suite, and bilingual documentation are delivered at handover. You own the code with no ongoing licence fees and no dependency on our continued involvement.

How it works

Process

  1. 01

    Discovery and Specification

    We spend one to two weeks reviewing your current WordPress and WooCommerce setup, the specific components that require Arabic RTL treatment, the API documentation for the payment gateway to be integrated, and the bilingual content workflow your editorial team uses. We produce a specification in Arabic and English. Development begins after sign-off from your team.

  2. 02

    Development

    We build in a local development environment, writing to WordPress coding standards with unit tests alongside the code. For payment gateway integrations, we build and test against the sandbox environment before connecting to the live gateway. For RTL extensions, we test Arabic layout at every breakpoint before moving to the review phase.

  3. 03

    Testing and Review

    We deploy to a staging environment and run the full test suite. For RTL extensions, we review every component in Arabic layout with a native Arabic speaker or your team's Arabic-language representative. For payment integrations, we test the full transaction lifecycle: successful payment, declined card, refund, and webhook processing. We invite your team to test the bilingual admin interface in both Arabic and English.

  4. 04

    Deployment, Documentation, and Handover

    We deploy to production, confirm all functionality in the live context, and hand over source code, test suite, English technical documentation, and Arabic operational documentation. Post-launch support for issues related to delivered functionality is provided for 30 days.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about WordPress Plugin Development

How does RTL layout actually work inside a WordPress plugin?

RTL layout in a WordPress plugin requires explicit attention at every component: CSS direction and text-align properties set for RTL, flexbox and grid layouts configured to reverse for RTL, icon and button placement designed for right-to-left reading flow, and form field order matching RTL convention. WordPress has a built-in RTL stylesheet mechanism that handles basic text direction, but it does not correctly handle complex WooCommerce components, custom admin interfaces, or checkout flows without plugin-level RTL development. We build RTL as a layout requirement from the design stage, not as a stylesheet applied at the end.

Which Telr and PayTabs API features do you integrate?

We integrate the full payment lifecycle: payment initiation with redirect to the hosted payment page or embedded form, webhook processing for payment success, failure, and cancellation events, refund initiation from the WordPress admin, and transaction log storage with bilingual labels. We also handle QAR currency denomination, 3D Secure where required by the gateway, and card-specific handling for GCC-issued cards. The specific feature set is confirmed during the specification phase based on your transaction profile.

Can you build a plugin that manages both Arabic and English product content in WooCommerce?

Yes. A bilingual WooCommerce content management plugin can add Arabic language fields to each product, including product name, description, short description, and attributes, alongside the existing English fields. The plugin manages which language is presented to the customer based on the active language setting, and provides editorial status indicators showing which products have current Arabic content and which require attention. This is built as a plugin rather than a theme function to ensure it persists through theme changes.

Do you handle cultural calendar events like Ramadan and Eid in plugin functionality?

Where the plugin includes promotional or seasonal logic, such as discount rules, collection visibility, or email trigger timing, we can build in calendar awareness for Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Qatar National Day, and other culturally significant dates. This is typically surfaced as a configurable event calendar in the admin interface, allowing your team to activate and deactivate seasonal rules without developer involvement each year.

What happens when Telr or PayTabs updates their API?

Payment gateway API updates are a predictable maintenance requirement. We build the integration with the API version clearly documented and the integration points clearly separated in the code. When an API update is announced, the source code and documentation we hand over allow your developer to identify and update the affected integration points without needing to reverse-engineer the plugin. We are also available for maintenance engagements if you prefer to have us manage the update.

A WordPress Plugin That Works in Arabic, in Qatar, for Your Workflow

Generic WordPress plugins are built for generic use cases. Arabic RTL WooCommerce extensions, Telr and PayTabs integrations, and multilingual admin interfaces for teams that operate in Arabic and English require purpose-built work. If your current plugin stack is creating workarounds instead of removing them, start with a brief.
