Arabic Shopify Store Development | RTL Themes & Translation

Reach Arabic-speaking customers without the guesswork

Around 400 million people speak Arabic, and millions of them live and shop in Europe, the USA, and Canada. Yet most Shopify agencies in these markets have never built a right-to-left store. The result is often an Arabic version that looks broken: icons pointing the wrong way, jumbled numbers, poor fonts, and machine-translated text that customers do not trust.

CartWorks is run by native Arabic speakers who build Shopify stores every day. We add a full Arabic version to your existing store, or build a new bilingual store from scratch, with right-to-left layouts, Arabic fonts, and copy written by people who speak the language.

Everything stays in one Shopify store: one admin, one inventory, and one set of orders, with separate Arabic and English URLs so both languages can rank in Google.

What we help with

Arabic Shopify work we do

Add Arabic to your existing Shopify store

We add Arabic as a second language to the store you already have, translate products, pages, menus, and emails, and add a language switcher, without rebuilding your theme.

Right-to-left (RTL) theme customization

We mirror layouts, menus, sliders, icons, and the cart correctly, and fix the details automatic setups miss, such as numbers, prices, and mixed Arabic and English text. Read our RTL theme guide.

Natural Arabic copy, not machine translation

Native speakers write or review your Arabic product descriptions, pages, and checkout text so they read naturally and build trust.

Arabic Shopify SEO

We research the Arabic words customers actually search for, write Arabic titles and descriptions, and set up hreflang tags so Google shows the right language to each shopper.

Bilingual stores for Arab-owned businesses

If you run a business in Europe, the USA, or Canada that serves an Arabic-speaking community, we build your store in Arabic and English, or Arabic and your local language, with local payments and shipping. See our guide to Arabic and English Shopify stores.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Shopify supports Arabic and RTL, but many themes need adjustments before Arabic looks right. We fix the layout, fonts, and details so your Arabic version looks as polished as your English one.

No. Native Arabic speakers write or review every piece of customer-facing text. Machine translation can be a starting point for large catalogs, but we check and correct it before anything goes live.

No, when it is set up correctly. Each language gets its own URLs and hreflang tags, so Google shows English pages to English searchers and Arabic pages to Arabic searchers.

It depends on the size of your catalog and how much of your theme needs RTL work. We review your store and give a fixed quote before we start.

Yes, that is our focus. We work remotely over video calls and email, in English or Arabic. Our hours cover the full European business day, and we schedule calls with North American clients at an agreed time.
