Retail & e-commerce website design in Dubai

A Shopify store with a custom theme, apps, a UAE payment gateway and multi-currency set-up starts from USD 1,400 (≈ AED 5,142) for around 25 products. A full-feature WooCommerce or Medusa store with checkout, shipping zones and payments starts from USD 2,500 (≈ AED 9,181) for around 30 products. A retail brand site without a checkout — catalogue, branches, WhatsApp ordering — fits our Small Business Website at AED 2,490. Large catalogues, ERP and POS integrations and marketplaces are quoted on a fixed scope after a free call.

Shopify when you want the lowest operating overhead, a fast launch and a team that will not touch code — it handles hosting, security and updates, and UAE payment and shipping apps are mature. WooCommerce when your brand already lives on WordPress, you want full control of the checkout and content, or the catalogue has unusual rules. We build both and recommend the one that fits your catalogue, team and growth plan, not the one that is easiest for us.

Yes. We connect a UAE-local payment gateway or international cards with 3-D Secure, Apple Pay and Google Pay, cash on delivery with a courier that remits COD, and a buy-now-pay-later provider for instalments — all shown as choices on a single checkout page in AED. Which combination makes sense depends on your average order value and margin; we work it out in the first call.

Delivery zones by emirate or area with their own rates and cut-off times, same-day or next-day options where your courier supports them, free-delivery thresholds, click-and-collect at your branches, and a returns flow that does not need a phone call. Orders go to your courier through its integration or a daily manifest, and the customer gets tracking on WhatsApp and email.

A Shopify store with around 25 products launches in about 3 weeks after we receive your products, photos and policies. A full WooCommerce or Medusa store takes about 5 weeks. Add POS or ERP sync, a large catalogue or an Arabic storefront and most projects launch in 6–10 weeks. We go live with test orders through the real gateway and courier before the store opens to customers.

Yes. The Arabic storefront is a proper right-to-left store — categories, product pages, the cart, checkout, emails and WhatsApp updates all exist in both languages, with Arabic search engine optimisation of its own. Prices stay in AED with the guest's currency shown as an approximation, and Western digits, Arabic typography and LTR-isolated prices and phone numbers are handled in the theme from the start.

Yes, and most brands should. The marketplaces stay for discovery; your store carries the full range, the brand story, bundles and the customer relationship at full margin. Product feeds keep the catalogue in sync with the marketplaces, Google Shopping and social catalogues, so a product is updated once and published everywhere.

Ask for stores they launched with COD, Tabby/Tamara and a UAE gateway live, an Arabic storefront you can click through, delivery zones by emirate, and the fixed price in writing with the product count included. Make sure the store, domain and customer data are yours.
