GCC shipping, checkout reliability, privacy tools, and storefront polish

GCC shipping

• Country zones — configure shipping rates for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar
• Checkout country picker — buyers choose their delivery country before rates apply
• Gulf phone input — clearer phone validation for regional numbers at checkout

Checkout & Paymob

• Amount guards — safer payment intentions when discounts or multi-qty items change totals
• Multi-qty fix — Paymob line items now match cart quantities correctly
• Pending payment UX — clearer status on mobile when a card payment is still processing
• Retry & recap — improved pay-again flow and order summary on custom domains

Storefront & BYOD

• SEO for all sellers — better titles, sitemaps, and metadata on storefronts and custom domains
• Dawn v2 polish — refreshed buyer experience, cart validation, and language redirects on BYOD
• Performance — faster pages, Core Web Vitals work, and database indexes for high-traffic paths
• Pixels & consent — Meta and TikTok events respect buyer cookie consent on custom hosts

Privacy & compliance (PDPL)

• Buyer data tools — /my-data lets signed-in buyers export JSON or request account deletion
• Retention automation — nightly job purges old analytics, email outbox, chat, and access logs on schedule
• Merchant access log — Settings → Access log shows who viewed your store dashboard and when
• DPA gate — new sellers accept Terms and Data Processing Agreement before using the dashboard
• Staff audit trail — admin actions on seller accounts are logged for accountability

Dashboard reliability

• Terminal orders — status edits are blocked once an order is delivered, cancelled, or refunded
• Platform hardening — RLS on expansion tables, payout guards, and continued admin performance work
