Shopify Development — Dubai
Shopify development in Dubai, built for how the UAE actually shops.
We build and customise high-converting Shopify stores for Dubai and UAE brands — AED pricing, Arabic, local payment gateways like Tabby and Tamara, and a fast checkout — delivered on a fixed price and a fixed timeline.
Serving Dubai · Abu Dhabi · Sharjah · the UAE — fixed price, fixed timeline
Why it matters
Shopify is the fastest way to launch a serious online store, but a default theme rarely fits the UAE market. Shoppers here expect to pay in AED, split payments with Tabby or Tamara, check out with Apple Pay, browse in Arabic, and see delivery times for their emirate — and they abandon fast when any of that is missing or the store is slow on mobile. Plenty of stores are set up in a weekend with the wrong currency, generic apps and a bloated theme that drags load times. We build Shopify stores properly: brand-right design, custom sections where it counts, local payments and shipping configured correctly, Arabic done natively, and performance tuned so the store loads and converts on a phone across Dubai.

FAQ
How much does Shopify development cost in Dubai?
A custom Shopify store in Dubai typically ranges from AED 7,000 for a clean themed launch to AED 30,000+ for a fully custom build with bespoke sections, apps and integrations. That's on top of Shopify's own subscription (billed by Shopify directly). We quote your exact scope as a fixed price within 24 hours, so you know the full build cost before we start.
Can you set up AED pricing and local UAE payments on Shopify?
Yes. We configure your store to sell in AED, connect UAE-friendly payment gateways like Tabby, Tamara, Telr, Network International, PayTabs and Apple Pay, and set correct tax and shipping rules for the Emirates and GCC. Customers check out in the currency and payment methods they expect, which lifts conversion.
Do you build Arabic Shopify stores?
We do. We set up bilingual English + Arabic stores with proper right-to-left layout using Shopify's markets and translation tools, so your Arabic-speaking customers get a native experience rather than a bolted-on translation. It's one of the biggest wins for reaching the full UAE and GCC audience.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Wix, Magento, Salla, Zid or a custom platform to Shopify — moving products, collections, customers, orders and, importantly, preserving your SEO with proper URL redirects so you don't lose rankings in the move.
Do you customise themes or build from scratch?
Both. For faster launches we take a strong premium theme and customise it heavily to your brand. For brands that need something distinctive, we build custom Shopify sections and Liquid templates, and develop custom apps where an off-the-shelf app can't do the job. We recommend the route that fits your budget and goals.
Will you handle apps, shipping and go-live?
Yes — we handle the full setup: product upload, collections, essential apps (reviews, upsells, WhatsApp, email/SMS), shipping zones for the UAE and GCC, taxes, domain connection and go-live checks. You get a store that's ready to take orders on day one, plus a walkthrough so your team can run it confidently.
