01 / Pick by catalogue size
Four store options, chosen by how much you sell
In Dubai, quotes for an online store range from about 4,000 AED for a template shop to 150,000 AED and more for a custom platform. The honest way to narrow it down is your catalogue: how many products, in how many languages, and whether stock lives in another system. That is how our options are cut.
| Option | Products | Languages | Scope | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start | up to 30 | English | Up to 30 products, online payments, delivery setup, English. | AED7,900 |
| SalesRecommended | up to 150 | English and Polish | Up to 150 products, two languages, sales tracking, product feed for Google and Meta. | AED12,900 |
| Growth | up to 500 | two languages | Up to 500 products, filters, stock or ERP integration. | AED19,900 |
| Scale | no fixed limit | several | Custom project. | from AED29,000 |
Prices are open to discussion and payment can be split into instalments as set out in the contract. VAT at 5% is added where it applies. Payment gateway fees, hosting and paid plugins are paid by you to their providers.
02 / Selling online in the UAE
Four things every UAE store has to get right before launch
Card payments through your own gateway
Customers in the UAE expect to pay by card at checkout, and many also expect cash on delivery. The payment gateway account is opened by your company, in its name, because the money lands in your bank. We connect the gateway you choose to the store and run real test payments before launch. Gateways set their own fees and approval rules, so ask them for both early: approval can take longer than the build.
Delivery that matches the map
Delivery rules are usually set per emirate: one rate for Dubai, another for Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates, a free delivery threshold, same-day options inside the city. We set up zones, rates and pick-up, and connect a courier where the courier offers a ready integration.
Prices in AED, with VAT shown properly
Prices are displayed in AED. If your company is registered for VAT, the store shows 5% VAT on the invoice and in the order emails. If it is not registered, it does not. Your accountant decides; we configure the store to match.
A licence that covers selling online
An online store usually needs an e-commerce activity on your trade licence. Check this with your free zone or the Department of Economy and Tourism before launch. We do not advise on licensing, but we will ask you about it on the first call because gateways ask for it too.
03 / How the build runs
Five stages from product list to first order
- Catalogue planWe read your product list, agree categories, filters and what a product page has to show, and plan the import.
- Design of the pages that sellHome, category, product, cart and checkout. You comment on a working draft on your phone, where most orders happen.
- Build and importPayments, delivery zones, order emails, legal pages you supply, product import with photos converted to WebP.
- Test ordersReal test payments, refunds, stock changes, emails in the inbox, not in spam. We fix what breaks before customers see it.
- Launch and trackingSales tracking in Google Analytics, purchase events for Meta, the product feed for Google and Meta on Sales and above.
The timeline depends on the catalogue and on how fast the gateway approves your account. We write the date into the contract once both are known.
04 / What you prepare
The list we ask for in the first week
- A spreadsheet of products: name, price in AED, SKU, stock, weight and variants such as size or colour.
- Product photos, ideally on a plain background. We resize and compress them; we do not run photo shoots.
- A payment gateway account in your company's name, or the decision which one to apply for.
- Delivery rates per emirate and your free delivery threshold, if there is one.
- Returns policy, terms of sale and privacy policy approved by you or your lawyer.
- Logins to the domain and, if you have one, the current store, so we can move products and keep old addresses working.
05 / Platform
WooCommerce by default, and why
We build stores on WooCommerce, the shop system for WordPress. You own the code, the products and the customer data, and the store runs on hosting in your name. There is no monthly platform fee from us; you pay for hosting and for the plugins the store needs, such as the gateway connector.
If you already sell on Shopify or another platform, tell us on the first call. We look at it in the free audit and say plainly whether moving makes sense, or whether you are better off staying and fixing what you have.
06 / What you can check
A store we modernised, in numbers
An online store with personalised gifts came to us slow and heavy. After the modernisation, server response time went from 2.47 s to 0.29 s, 5,030 images were moved to WebP and the page weight dropped by 44%. We do not name clients without their consent, so the store is not named here; on a call we can show you the work on screen.
After launch most stores need three things: care at 900 AED a month with 2 hours of changes, SEO for stores at 4,500 AED a month with category and product pages, and catalogue ads on Meta at 3,900 AED or Shopping on Google at 4,500 AED a month plus ad budget. None of them is required to buy the store.
07 / What we do not promise
What you will not hear from us
- A position in Google, or a date for it.Our contract excludes ranking guarantees. We report what we did and what moved.
- Arabic.We work in English and Polish. We do not offer Arabic copywriting or support.
- Meetings in person in Dubai.The Dubai address is the registered address of the company. We talk by phone, on WhatsApp and on online calls.
- A number of orders or a revenue figure.We build and measure the store; sales depend on product, price and traffic.
- Approval by a payment gateway.The gateway decides on your application. We help with what the store has to show.
