The challenge

Bookies is an online bookshop based in Lebanon. It sells books in Arabic and English, alongside notebooks, stationery, and gift packaging. It needed a store where readers could browse its books, find the title they want, and order and pay online.

  • Books in Arabic and English, in many genres, alongside notebooks, stationery, and gift packaging
  • Readers in Lebanon who want to find a book and order it online
  • Orders to take and payments to collect, by Whish or in cash on delivery

What we built

We built the online store. Books sit in genres such as novels, self-help, classics, biography, and history, and readers reach a title through the search bar or the menu. Every book has its own page, with a quick view from the shop and a wishlist to save it for later.

Readers create an account to sign in and follow their orders, add books to the cart, and check out in US dollars. They pay with Whish or in cash on delivery. The menu and the book categories work on phones too. Behind the store, the Bookies team adds books, sets their prices, and handles orders from the store admin.

In scope

  • Book catalog by genre
  • Search, quick view, and wishlist
  • Customer accounts
  • Cart and checkout in US dollars
  • Whish and cash-on-delivery payments
  • Admin for books and orders
