Riyadh-based online shopping service Taufeer.com has launched their new ‘E-Channel’ service to enable retailers in Saudi Arabia to get their products online.

They aim for this new service to be a comprehensive and fully managed e-commerce service for retailers across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

The Taufeer.com E-Channel service allows retailers to take full advantage of a range of online tools to quickly and efficiently use the internet as a sales channel. E-Channel gives retailers a single centralized interface to add products; update inventories and prices; add and manage multiple physical stores; review and manage their online orders; and provide online payment service via credit card, logistics and delivery.

Additionally, Taufeer.com E-Channel allows retailers to stay in touch with their customers through a range of tools and community networks.

As for pricing, Taufeer.com will only be charging for actual sales, with fees starting from as low as 1%.

This service puts Taufeer.com in direct competition with Maktoob’s Souq.com Stores, which has been proving a success in the UAE recently.
