The challenge

CMarket is a market in Lebanon that sells groceries and household goods, from snacks and drinks to dairy, cleaning products, and personal care. It sold only to the customers who walked in, and its sales were low.

  • A market selling groceries and household goods only to the customers who walked in
  • Low sales, with no second channel to grow them
  • No online store or app, and no online orders

What we built

We built its digital version: an online store, cmarketlb.com, on nopCommerce. It runs in English and Arabic, right to left in Arabic, and works on phones as well as desktops. Customers browse the catalog by category, search for products, and save favorites to a wishlist. They fill a cart, check out, and follow their orders and saved addresses in their own account. They pay cash on delivery, and CMarket delivers across all of Lebanon.

We also built the CMarket app for iOS and Android, published on the App Store and Google Play. Customers shop the same catalog on their phone and order from there. The store and the app both launched in 2022.

CMarket's team runs the store from its admin, where they manage products, categories, and every order that comes in. The store and the app gave the market a second sales channel, open day and night. On its own, the online store has brought in more than $200k in revenue from online orders.
