ShopiBuild is a Shopify agency in Dubai. We design and build Shopify stores for Dubai brands in Arabic and English, connect the payments, shipping and ads Dubai shoppers expect, and launch within 5–7 business days.
Why a Dubai store has its own requirements
Same-day delivery
Dubai shoppers expect their order today or tomorrow. We connect your store to local couriers or fulfillment centres that support same-day delivery, and show the delivery date on the product page. See Shopify shipping in the UAE.
A multinational audience
A large share of Dubai shoppers buy in English, while Emirati and Gulf customers prefer Arabic. That's why every store we build is in both languages, to the same standard.
Payments
Cards and Apple Pay are essential, and Tabby and Tamara are very popular. Because Shopify Payments isn't available in the UAE, we connect a suitable local gateway. See payment gateways.
Licensing
The cheapest start for a Dubai resident is the e-Trader licence; companies choose mainland or a free zone. See ecommerce licence in the UAE.
Seasons
Ramadan and both Eids, White Friday, and the Dubai Shopping Festival from December to January. We prepare your store for each season in advance.
