Ecommerce web design in Dubai: Shopify and WooCommerce stores

• Brands that sell their own products and want their own store next to, or instead of, marketplaces.
• Shops and showrooms moving their catalogue online, with delivery across the UAE.
• Stores that already sell but lose orders at checkout, on mobile or because payment and delivery aren’t clear.

We’re not the right fit for a store that needs a custom-coded platform, or for marketplace account management on Amazon or noon. If you only need a company website without a cart, see every service with its price; for property, real estate web design in Dubai.

We build on both and recommend one after the first call:

Either way, the store, the domain and the customer data are in your company’s name.

Catalogue, product pages and a short checkout

Your products imported from your spreadsheet, with categories, filters and product pages that answer buyers’ questions before they pay. A checkout tested on mobile with real orders.

UAE payments: cards and instalments

Card payments through a UAE gateway such as Network International’s N-Genius Online or Telr, both with official apps for Shopify and WooCommerce. Telr states it is licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE. Instalments with Tabby, which operates in the UAE and documents plugins for Shopify and WooCommerce, or Tamara, which documents its Shopify set-up and UAE widget. Your company opens the account with the provider; approval and fees are theirs.

Arabic and right-to-left

UAE consumer law requires consumer-facing information, ads and contracts in Arabic, with other languages allowed alongside (Federal Law No. 15 of 2020, art. 26). We quote Arabic as a module and recommend it for any store selling to UAE consumers. On Shopify, the latest Horizon themes support right-to-left languages such as Arabic; on other themes we check before choosing.

VAT

UAE VAT is 5%. Registration is mandatory once taxable supplies and imports pass AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months (or are expected to within 30 days), and voluntary from AED 187,500. If you’re registered, we set it up in the store’s tax settings and invoices; your accountant confirms the treatment.

Delivery and returns

Shipping rates by emirate or weight, cash on delivery if you offer it, and your courier integrated. Prices, delivery fees, payment terms and returns are published, as the ecommerce law below requires.

Tracking from day one

Every purchase, with its value, reported to Google and Meta, so the ads that come later are judged on real orders.

We work remotely, with in-person meetings in Dubai.

“From” covers one store, one language and one payment gateway. The price goes up by module, each quoted in writing before we start: a large catalogue or a migration, more gateways, a second language such as Arabic, and integrations with inventory, accounting or couriers. Platform plans, hosting, apps, payment fees and ad budgets are paid by you.

Prices exclude VAT. If VAT applies, it is added at the legal rate and shown on the invoice. Invoiced by LEADS AND FUNNELS MARKETING FZCO, licensed by IFZA in Dubai (licence 75650). Compare with every service with its price.

• Google Shopping and search: your feed in Merchant Center, which supports the UAE and AED; Performance Max only once there are sales to learn from. See Google Ads in Dubai and what a Google Ads click costs in the UAE.
• Meta Ads: catalogue ads and campaigns for new customers. See Meta Ads in Dubai.
• Abandoned cart by email and WhatsApp: built in GoHighLevel, whose abandoned-checkout trigger works with Shopify. Meta classes a cart reminder as a marketing message and requires opt-in. See email marketing inside your CRM and WhatsApp Business API set-up.
• Ecommerce SEO: category and product pages that rank. See SEO in Dubai.

Ads only pay when each order leaves enough margin. With one channel at AED 4,100 a month, if each order leaves you AED 30 in margin, you need 137 orders a month just to cover our fee, before ad spend; at AED 60, 69; at AED 150, 28. If the maths doesn’t work, we’ll say so and build the store only.

• Licence. On the mainland, a commercial licence with ecommerce activity from the economic department, plus TDRA approval; a free zone company may need a local distributor or extra approvals to sell on the mainland (u.ae). Our guide to the ecommerce license in Dubai compares the options.
• What the site shows. Federal Decree-Law No. 14 of 2023 asks for prices, fees and terms published, plus the licence, address and contacts, and gives customers return rights in set cases, such as faulty or non-matching goods.
• Discounts. The Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 15 of 2020) requires a prior licence for promotions and general discounts, and treats fake discounts as misleading advertising.

The licence and permits are yours to hold; we build the store around them.

We don’t have an online store client to show yet, and we won’t invent one. Our named clients are in Spain, in lead generation: a real estate agency, a mortgage broker and a dental clinic. What carries over is the method: tracking checked against real sales and everything built in the client’s name.
