When it comes to middle-east countries such as UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran, Qatar and so on, everything they need in mobile apps are local language and currency. People residing in such countries prefer shopping and browsing through apps which are in local languages as they find it easier, comfortable and are thorough with it. There are many RTL (Right to Left) languages but mainly customers ask support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian/Farsi.

Most of the mobile app solution providers are failing in integrating RTL languages correctly in their solution. Mobicommerce fully supports RTL. Our research and development team worked hard to make solution fully compatible for RTL languages.

Our solution is completely configurable with admin therefore the delivery team ensure accuracy; they configure all labels, messages, and banners in apps correctly.

Similarly, Mobicommerce also supports middle-east currencies i.e. AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham), BHD (Bahraini Dinar), JOD (Jordanian Dinar), QAR (Qatari Riyal), SAR (Saudi Riyal) etc. and also supports most of the payment gateways which support these currencies.

Deep Link: Deep Link will directly lead the customers to a specific product or product category page. If the app is already downloaded by the customer, it will directly take the customers to the particular page in app or else it will be redirected to the website.

In-App Push Notification Panel: This gives the entire history of Push Notifications shared in past i.e. Push Notification History.

Masonry Grid View: The most fascinating view where grid layout is based on columns. Its heights and rows are adjusted as per the images.

Advanced Widget System: This has improved the scope of personalizing the home page to a greater extent. The user can now display the number of products according to their preference and rest all can be viewed after clicking “View All”.

Magento Sign up Configuration: The default fields of Magento Sign up is now supported which would allow taking the details accurately and as required such as DOB, details for taxes, etc.

Push Notification Setting: This would allow the users to ON/OFF push notification settings as per their choices.

Reorder Button: In order history page, the reorder button gives the speed of placing the entire order again rather than selecting single ones. It would save time and efforts to greater extent.
