Everything a UAE store needs on day one

Launching a Shopify store in the UAE means getting local details right: AED pricing, cash on delivery or instalments, same-day delivery expectations, Arabic content and VAT-inclusive prices. Miss them and customers leave at checkout.

I set up the whole store and hand it over ready to sell, with training so you can run it yourself. For a bigger build, see Shopify developer in Dubai or Shopify store setup.

What you get

Your UAE store, set up end to end

  • Theme & branding — a fast theme set up with your brand, product pages and home page that sell.
  • AED payments — Shopify Payments or local gateways, plus Tabby, Tamara and cash on delivery where you want them.
  • Local delivery — Aramex, local couriers or your own riders, with delivery zones and rates for each emirate.
  • VAT setup — 5% VAT configured and prices shown the way UAE customers expect.
  • Arabic option — Arabic translation and right-to-left support if you sell to Arabic-speaking customers.
  • Launch & training — a launch checklist, test orders and a recorded training session.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How long does setup take?
A standard UAE store takes 2-3 weeks once products and branding are ready.
Can you add cash on delivery?
Yes. COD is common in the UAE and easy to add, with rules to limit it where needed.
Do I need a UAE trade licence?
For Shopify Payments and most local gateways, yes. I can set up the store while your licence and gateway approvals are in progress.
How much does it cost?
Project work is fixed-price against a defined scope, so you know the full cost before we start. The discovery call is always free.
How fast can you start?
Discovery calls happen within days; kickoff is usually 1-2 weeks out. If you have a hard launch date, say so on the first call and I will tell you plainly if it is achievable.
