Smart Salem // Headless to Native
Headless to Shopify Native migration for a UAE health platform operating across B2C and B2B. Built on Horizon to restore control, flexibility, and tracking visibility. The complexity sits in the DHA integration: government certificate auth, product gating against DHA licences and prescriptions, B2B provider verification, UAE data residency, and SOAP APIs without a sandbox or documentation.

Inside the project
From a headless build back to native Shopify
Smart Salem is a UAE health platform selling to both consumers and businesses. Its store had been running headless, and Pacer Studio rebuilt it as a native Shopify store, with the stated aim of restoring control, flexibility and tracking visibility. The project images show a homepage with search, a test explorer and separate booking entry points for health and wellness tests and visa medical tests.
Connecting the store to the DHA
According to Pacer Studio, the complexity sat in the DHA integration. It covers government certificate authentication, gating products against DHA licences and prescriptions, verifying B2B providers and keeping data resident in the UAE. The work ran against SOAP APIs that, as Pacer Studio describes it, had no sandbox or documentation.
