Bilingual online store

La Perla Store

An online store that lets a Syrian handmade brand sell where there are no card payments. Shoppers browse in Arabic or English, order custom pieces through a guided flow and pay by local transfer, while the owner runs the catalogue, orders and workshop queue from one dashboard.

The problem

Syria has no card payment gateway, and much of La Perla's work is made to order, so a standard store template could neither take payments nor handle custom requests.

What we built

Checkout creates a real order, shows bank-transfer instructions with a QR code and takes a receipt upload that the owner reviews in the dashboard. A guided ‘Customize’ flow turns bespoke requests into structured leads.

  1. Storefront

    An Arabic-first bilingual shop, with the guided custom-order flow.

  2. Admin dashboard

    Catalogue, content, leads, payment review and the workshop queue.

  3. NestJS API

    Orders, uploads and sign-in, self-hosted on the brand's own server.
