Arbela Store

Arbela Store is a modern eCommerce marketplace built on Magento 2, designed to serve customers in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Iraq. The platform was initiated by an American client looking to establish a robust online retail presence in the region. Arbela Store differentiates itself by integrating closely with major global marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon, sourcing and listing products from these platforms to offer a wide variety of goods to local consumers.

The client approached us with a vision to build a robust, scalable, and fully integrated marketplace using Magento 2. The major challenges included:

• Syncing product listings from eBay, Amazon, and other platforms in real-time.
• Handling region-specific shipping logistics, tax rules, and multi-currency support.
• Creating a system that automates product import, pricing, and availability updates.
• Maintaining high performance while managing large volumes of SKUs.

We developed Arbela Store on Magento 2, leveraging its flexibility to build a multi-vendor, multi-channel marketplace tailored for the Middle East region.

Multi-Platform Product Integration: 

Arbela Store leverages Magento 2’s extensible architecture to integrate with eBay and Amazon, allowing for:

Product Import: Automated import of products, inventory, and pricing from Amazon and eBay directly into the Magento store

Real-Time Sync: Synchronization of product availability, prices, and order statuses across all platforms, ensuring accurate and up-to-date listings.

Order Management: Orders placed on Arbela Store can be fulfilled via integrated marketplaces, and vice versa, streamlining the fulfillment process.

Custom Shipping Solutions: 

Given the unique logistics landscape of the Middle East, Arbela Store required tailored shipping features:

Integrated with local and regional couriers for real-time shipping rates and tracking.

Created rules to calculate custom duties and taxes based on the buyer's location.
