FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions — United Arab Emirates
How much does an e-commerce store cost in the UAE?+
Shopify store setups for UAE brands typically run USD 3,500–8,000 for a polished theme customisation with payment, VAT, courier and inventory integration. Custom headless e-commerce (Next.js + Medusa / Shopify Hydrogen) runs USD 15,000+. We scope based on actual requirements.
Do you support the full UAE commerce stack — payments, courier, VAT?+
Yes, as standard. Payment gateways (Telr, Network International, Stripe UAE, Tabby, Tamara), courier APIs (Aramex, DHL UAE, Fetchr), VAT-compliant checkout and invoicing, and multi-warehouse/multi-emirate fulfilment are all part of our default toolkit.
Can you migrate us from Shopify to a custom stack?+
Yes, and often. Clients outgrow Shopify when Plus subscription fees, app stack cost, or checkout customisation limits start hurting margins. We've done Shopify → headless Next.js migrations preserving SEO, inventory, and customer data without downtime.
Do you offer ongoing CRO and optimisation work?+
Yes. Post-launch CRO (conversion rate optimisation) retainers covering A/B testing, checkout optimisation, PDP improvements, and performance tuning are available. Typical retainer clients see 15–30% conversion lift over 6 months.
