Online-store verification: what do I need?

Separate building an online store from officially verifying it. Verification has its own route and business requirements.

Verification can feel technical, but it starts with two questions: what is your business status, and are the store and bank details linked to it?

Short answer

Store verification is separate from building the website. The Ministry of Commerce directs it to the Business Platform and lists a valid business status and commercial bank account.

How is building a store different?

Building a store sets up its storefront and operations. Verification is a separate official procedure through the Saudi Business Center platform.

What should I check?

Check the business status, applicable valid commercial registration or freelance document, and the business bank account linked to the store against current official requirements.

Where do I start?

The Ministry of Commerce directs store verification to the official Business Platform. Check the channel before entering business data.

What comes next?

When the business information is ready, review the verification service and its requirements. Yusr can help organise and follow the request within its scope.

What to prepare

Identify the business owner and applicable valid registration or freelance document.
Check for a business bank account linked to the store.
Review the store, activity and contact details before submission.
Start from the official Business Platform and protect your login credentials.

Watch out for

Having a website or domain does not mean verification is complete.
The Ministry moved verification from Maroof to the Business Platform; older instructions may be outdated.

Common questions

Is a personal bank account enough?

The Ministry states that a commercial bank account linked to the store is required. Check current details on the platform.

Is store verification the same as commercial registration?

No. Registration or a freelance document establishes the business status where applicable; store verification is a separate request.

Service scope and current prices

These amounts come from the current Yusr catalogue, not an invented government tariff. Review the scope and final total in the service form before confirming.
