About Makook
Starting and growing a business should be simple, professional, and open to everyone, with no technical barriers and no hidden costs. At Makook, we're building the platform Syrian merchants have always needed.
It started with frustrated merchants
The idea came from watching Syrian merchants run their sales through Instagram and WhatsApp messages: lost orders, chaotic inventory, and no clear way to track payments or deliveries. Global platforms were never the right fit. Online payment barriers and local infrastructure kept them out of reach.
So we built Makook: a complete Syrian platform with global standards, designed around the reality of the Syrian market to fix its problems at the root. It connects to local payment gateways and delivery companies, and it runs on stable cloud infrastructure that holds up no matter the conditions.
If you want to understand the market we are building for, two articles cover it in depth: E-commerce in Syria: the practical guide and How Syrian merchants sell online in 2026.
From eMenu and Tajer to Makook: years of serving merchants
Behind Makook is a real-world track record of building software for merchants and businesses. Founder Ahmad Sulaiman Almunajjed, a Damascus-born software engineer and entrepreneur, previously created eMenu (emenu.tech), a digital menu solution for restaurants and the hospitality sector in the Saudi market, and Tajer (tajer.tech), an e-commerce platform built for Arab businesses worldwide.
Makook arrives to establish the foundational infrastructure for commerce in Syria as the flagship successor to both eMenu and Tajer. It combines all those lessons into one complete platform tailored specifically for Syrian merchants: featuring local payment integrations, local shipping options, zero upfront fees, and no commissions on sales.
