Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

Dropify

Dropify is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) e-commerce platform headquartered in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, with operational roots in Agadir, Morocco. Founded in 2021, it enables merchants to create and manage online stores without coding skills. Designed primarily for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Dropify offers an Arabic-first interface, cash-on-delivery (COD) support, and AI-powered features to help users launch and scale online businesses.

History

Dropify was founded in 2021 by Youssef Akalal, a systems architect and business intelligence specialist, and Moaad Daoudi, a product engineer based in Agadir, Morocco. The platform launched publicly on 11 November 2022, initially targeting local merchants in Morocco.

The first version of Dropify was built using PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery. It allowed users to create simple stores with manual order handling, targeting sellers who relied on COD and local logistics providers. Despite its minimal interface, the MVP found early traction among underserved e-commerce merchants in North Africa.

In 2023, Dropify expanded its core features, including payment integrations (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), courier APIs, and a marketplace for apps and themes.

In 2024, the entire platform was rebuilt with a modern tech stack—Laravel (backend), Next.js (frontend), GraphQL, and Flutter for mobile apps resulting in improved scalability and performance.

In 2025, Dropify introduced Dropipage, an AI-powered landing page builder that enables users to create fully functional sales funnels in seconds.

Features

Dropify offers a range of tools for e-commerce merchants, including:

Drag-and-drop online store builder
Product and inventory management
Built-in payment processing
Integrated logistics with local couriers
AI-powered features such as landing page generation and voice reviews
App and theme marketplace
Analytics, A/B testing, and reporting tools

Multi-store management and affiliate tracking

Technology

The Dropify platform was initially built in PHP and jQuery but was later re-engineered using:

Laravel (backend framework)
Next.js (React-based frontend)
GraphQL for API queries
Flutter for cross-platform mobile apps
MySQL as the core database system

The platform is largely developed in-house and integrates third-party tools via API, including payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, CMI, Payzone) and analytics services (Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager).

AI Capabilities

In 2025, Dropify launched Dropipage, an AI-driven landing page builder. The system allows merchants to generate sales funnels using natural language prompts. Additional AI tools include automated product generation and voice-based customer reviews using generative AI.

Market and Users

Dropify primarily targets:

Small to medium-sized businesses
Digital entrepreneurs and dropshippers
Local brands in MENA using COD logistics
Creators and solopreneurs launching e-commerce stores

The platform supports both physical and digital product sales and was designed to serve mobile-first merchants.

Team

As of 2025, Dropify employs over 30 staff across development, operations, and support. The company is actively hiring to expand into new markets and roll out additional features.
