Frequently Asked Questions
Is Deel Flows a good Zoko alternative for GCC stores?
Yes. Deel Flows is built for GCC ecommerce, with Arabic-first COD confirmation and abandoned-cart recovery on WhatsApp. Zoko is a solid Shopify tool but ships English-only and is tuned for other markets, so GCC stores lose the language, platform, and COD fit that Deel Flows delivers.
Does Zoko support Arabic and GCC platforms like Zid and Salla?
No. Zoko is Shopify-only and its templates and support are English-first, with no RTL Arabic. It does not integrate with Zid or Salla, the platforms most UAE and KSA stores run on. Deel Flows supports Zid, Salla, Shopify, and WooCommerce with Arabic-first templates.
How does Deel Flows pricing compare to Zoko?
Deel Flows prices in AED and SAR with no markup on Meta message rates and no per-flow or AI add-on fees. Zoko adds a per-conversation markup that can reach ~$0.199/message at volume, plus roughly $5.99 per flow and $24.99 for AI on top of the base plan.
Can I migrate from Zoko to Deel Flows?
Yes. Migration is free and self-serve. You connect your store and WhatsApp number, import your templates, and go live without a sales call. Most GCC stores are running COD confirmation and cart recovery the same day.
