Ecommerce development in the UAE: stores you can open and check

You get an online store that takes payment in the UAE, ships correctly and that your team can run on a busy week. Ecommerce is the largest single category in our portfolio, so the catalogue structure, payment gateway, Tabby or Tamara, 5% VAT and courier rates are set up from experience, not discovered during launch week.

I have a project of building a website for my business. I provided Kausar the content and she created a great looking clean looking website for me. Kausar was responsive, did not need much back and forth communications, once the task was laid out by me, Kausar was able to work on her own without much need to have back and forth communications. Overall, Kausar did an excellent job and I will use her services again on future projects. I highly recommend Kausar P. as a very knowledgeable resource!

Ecommerce: questions clients ask before they sign

Can you show stores you have built?
Yes. The work page lists our ecommerce builds with live links, filterable by platform and sector, so you can open the stores and test them yourself rather than look at screenshots.
How much does an online store cost in the UAE?
A Starter Store (Shopify or WooCommerce, up to 50 products, UAE gateway and VAT) is AED 4,500. A Growth Store with a custom theme, up to 500 SKUs and an Arabic storefront is AED 7,900. Magento, headless or multi-store builds start at AED 18,500.
Shopify or WooCommerce for a UAE store?
Shopify if you want hosting, security and updates handled and can work within its rules. WooCommerce if you need full control of checkout or already run on WordPress. Our guide lists the questions that settle it before design starts.
Which payment gateways work in the UAE?
Telr, Network International and Stripe are the usual choices, with Tabby or Tamara for buy-now-pay-later. Which one fits depends on your bank, your settlement currency and whether the gateway has a maintained app or plugin for your platform.
Can you migrate our store without losing data or rankings?
Yes. Migrations are a large share of our ecommerce work. Products, customers and order history move across, and every old product and category URL is redirected so search rankings carry over.
Do you handle product photography and copy?
Catalogue setup is included. Photography and product copy are separate scopes, and we say so at scoping rather than in week three.
