Cross-border e-commerce platform Ubuy has integrated Tabby as a payment option for customers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, allowing shoppers to pay for purchases in instalments.

The option is now available on Ubuy’s UAE and Saudi Arabia platforms, giving customers the ability to split purchases into up to four payments.

Shoppers can choose to divide payments into three interest-free instalments with no additional fees, or opt for four payments with a small processing fee where applicable.

At checkout, the system approves transactions instantly and schedules the remaining payments automatically.

The integration reflects increasing demand for flexible payment options in the GCC’s expanding e-commerce sector, particularly for cross-border purchases.

“Customer convenience has always been at the core of Ubuy’s growth strategy,”

said Dhari AlAbdulhadi, Founder and CTO of Ubuy.

“By integrating Tabby, we are giving our customers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE greater financial flexibility while maintaining the seamless international shopping experience Ubuy is known for.”

Customers can select Tabby directly at checkout, choose an instalment plan, and complete the purchase within seconds.

The remaining payments are then processed automatically according to the selected schedule.

Ubuy said the addition forms part of its broader effort to expand localised services across the region while providing access to international products.

By introducing Tabby, the company aims to offer payment options that align with regional consumer preferences while supporting cross-border online shopping.

The integration also reflects the wider adoption of buy now, pay later services across the GCC, where retailers and online platforms are increasingly incorporating flexible payment tools to accommodate shifting consumer spending patterns.
