El-Dokan Software

El-Dokan is an Egypt-based enterprise e-commerce technology company founded in 2019. It focuses on delivering headless, API-first commerce infrastructure specifically designed for medium to large retailers, chain stores, and software developers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The company’s platform enables businesses to build scalable and highly customizable online stores that integrate smoothly with third-party systems such as payment gateways, ERP solutions, POS terminals, and shipping providers. With more than 300 API endpoints, El-Dokan’s architecture supports rapid deployment and adaptability to diverse business needs.

This composable infrastructure is built to support omnichannel commerce, allowing seamless customer interactions across websites, mobile apps, and physical retail locations. El-Dokan has powered the digital operations of major clients like Procter & Gamble, Misr Pharmacies, Mobily, Zahran Stores, and Switch Plus. After migrating from other platforms, these businesses collectively processed over $45 million in gross merchandise value (GMV) using El-Dokan's technology.

In 2022, the company raised $550,000 in pre-seed funding from investors including EFG EV, Flat6Labs, 500 Global, and Hala Ventures. This funding reflects the growing demand for modern, localized e-commerce infrastructure in the MENA region and supports El-Dokan’s vision of enabling agile and future-ready digital commerce.
