E-commerce & Shopify Development for Dubai & the UAE
UAE-ready online stores and apps, designed and built by a team only 1.5 hours away. We build Shopify, WooCommerce and custom e-commerce stores, fintech products and mobile apps for brands in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the GCC.
Shopify, WooCommerce and custom e-commerce development for Dubai and UAE brands — Arabic RTL, Tabby and Tamara, local payment gateways, VAT and COD, built by a UX-led team in a close time zone.
UAE shoppers expect a bilingual store, buy-now-pay-later at checkout and fast local delivery. Which payment options your store can use depends on where your business is registered, so we check Shopify's current supported-countries list and plan the gateway and BNPL setup from day one. Our team has already designed a digital loan platform for a bank in Dubai (Vikshan), and we are just 1.5 hours ahead of UAE time — your whole working day overlaps ours.
