What UAE projects usually need.

  • Prices in AED, with VAT at 5% configured in the platform
  • Payment gateways used in the UAE, such as Network International, Telr, PayTabs or Checkout.com, plus cash on delivery
  • Right-to-left Arabic layouts alongside English
  • Features that support the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (your legal team confirms compliance)
  • Delivery and shipping integrations for the UAE and GCC
Doing business in the UAE

Mainland, free zones and the wider GCC.

Many UAE businesses sell well beyond the Emirates, to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. A store built for the region needs prices and delivery options for each country, shipping partners such as Aramex that cover the GCC, and clear information about duties for cross-border orders.

Whether your company is licensed on the mainland or in a free zone such as DMCC, Dubai South or a technology free zone, the technical work is similar: bilingual content, local payment gateways, VAT on invoices and fast mobile pages. We work with your licence and banking set-up rather than around it. Your merchant accounts stay in your company's name, and we integrate them.

For larger projects we can plan a visit or regular video workshops in UAE business hours, and the weekend difference is built into the plan from day one.

Questions

Questions from UAE clients.

Can you build an Arabic store?

Yes. Magento 2 supports Arabic store views with right-to-left layouts; we set up the Arabic and English versions side by side and you or your translator supply the Arabic content.

Do you work during UAE hours?

India is 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE, so our working day covers almost all of yours.

Who owns the code?

You do. Code, designs and documentation are handed over, and we can sign your NDA first.
