NS Online: more than two-thirds of online sales come through the app

NS Gamer sells consoles, games and gaming gear from more than 20 shops across Oman. It opened a new online store, NS Online, and put a native app next to it in Arabic and English. Less than five months after the app went live, it takes 69% of the store's online revenue.

The retailer

Oman's gamers knew the shops. The online store was new.

NS Gamer describes itself as a 100% Omani brand, founded in 2020. It sells PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles, games, gaming PCs and components, monitors, chairs and headsets, with names like Sony, Razer, Logitech, HyperX, Asus and MSI next to its own NS Gamer label. Customers buy from more than 20 branches across the Sultanate.

NS Online is the retailer's online store on Shopify, and its two promises depend on those branches.

Gamers come back for the next release, a second controller, a new headset. A store they return to that often belongs on the home screen, in the language the customer reads.

The build

From trial to the App Store in 29 days

NS started its Evlop trial on 19 May 2026. The app is native on iOS and Android and reads the catalogue, prices and stock straight from the Shopify store in real time, so the PlayStation bundle a customer sees in the app is the one listed in the online store. Evlop's team built the apps and submitted them to both stores.

The app runs in Arabic and English, with a full right-to-left layout for Arabic. It carries the things that make NS different from an overseas marketplace: a store locator with NS's branches on a map of Oman, discount bundles that put a console, games and gear in one deal, and the 24-hour delivery promise.

The app is edited in App Studio, Evlop's drag-and-drop editor: 120 page updates and two custom pages have been saved there since May 2026, and NS has sent 14 push notifications in total.

The result

The app is where NS Online sells

Shoppers place 64% of NS Online's online orders in the app, and those orders are worth 69% of its online revenue.

App orders are also bigger, so the app's share of revenue runs ahead of its share of orders.

The shoppers

Shoppers had been waiting for it

An App Store review came in on launch day. Within three weeks, shoppers writing in Arabic and English were welcoming the chain's own app and praising how easy it is to browse.
