The problem
The three ways Lebanese e-commerce brands stall.
Under-priced offer. Leaky funnel. Paid media without CRO leverage. Add the Lebanon-specific complications — cash-heavy local buyers, diaspora buyers on cards and Apple Pay, FX slippage — and you get brands doing $20k–$60k/month that plateau for years.
Our job is to unlock the next order of magnitude by fixing the growth model, not by adding more spend on top of a broken one.
Local reality
Selling e-commerce from Lebanon in 2026.
Lebanon has two functionally different e-commerce markets sharing one address. Domestic buyers are cash-heavy, LBP-anchored for large parts of the basket, and trust-driven — they buy from brands they've seen in a shop or heard of through someone. Diaspora and export buyers are card-first, USD, and behave like international DTC customers.
A single Shopify store has to hold both. That means USD-first pricing with a local view, checkout that supports Apple Pay for the diaspora and a smooth COD/handover for local, and shipping infrastructure that quietly handles both realities. It also means messaging that flexes: heritage and provenance for the diaspora; utility, price and service for the local buyer.

Process
What the first 90 days look like.
Days 1–14. Diagnostic: unit economics, funnel, retention and creative audit. Nothing runs until we can see the P&L.
Days 15–45. Site and offer fixes ship. CRO tests queued. Paid restructured against contribution margin, not blended ROAS. Klaviyo core flows installed.
Days 46–90. Retention flows compound. Weekly creative iterations feed paid. First serious scale attempt starts, calibrated to logistics capacity.
Who it's for
Right fit / wrong fit.
Right fit: Lebanese or diaspora Lebanese founders doing $30k+/month, with real margin, a real product, and ambition to enter the GCC or serious international scale. Also: legacy Lebanese brands with an inherited retail business ready to build a real e-commerce channel.
Wrong fit: dropshippers, arbitrage plays, or brands whose margin can't support a paid + retention growth model.

FAQ
Beirut questions we get most often
- It designs the growth plan around the constraints Lebanese founders live with — FX, banking, import timing, and a buyer base that's split across local, diaspora and GCC. Global agencies don't price that reality into the plan. We do it as a default.
- Yes. We architect USD-first checkout for diaspora and export, keep a local rail for domestic buyers, and set up FX and reconciliation so the founder isn't discovering surprises at the end of the month.
- Yes — across Lebanon and with Lebanese founders based in the GCC, Europe and North America. The engagement structure is the same regardless of location; the meetings just happen on Zoom.
- Arabic (and French, when relevant) is a first-class deliverable: native writers on the copy, RTL-correct components on the site, Arabic-side reporting on the analytics stack.
- We map inbound freight windows, last-mile options (Aramex, DHL, local couriers), COD and return workflows into the P&L before setting a growth target. Scaling into a broken logistics chain is a great way to lose money faster.
- Retainers from $3,500/month. Media spend billed separately. Project fees for builds, migrations and audits quoted independently. Everything in USD.
