    What You Get When We Build Your Store

    Every ecommerce build we deliver in Dubai includes the same UAE-native foundation, regardless of tier or platform. The differences between tiers are scope and complexity - not whether you get the basics done properly. You own the source code, the hosting account, the domain. No agency lock-in.

    • 01UAE payment stack: Tabby + Tamara + PostPay BNPL, Network International, Telr, Checkout.com, Stripe
    • 02VAT-compliant invoicing with 5% UAE VAT, FTA-ready tax invoices, bilingual receipts
    • 03Arabic RTL theme work - proper typography, mirrored layouts, RTL-aware components
    • 04Shipping integrations: Aramex, Shipox, Quiqup, DHL, Emirates Post - with COD where you need it
    • 05Mobile-first performance - Core Web Vitals tuned (LCP, INP, CLS)
    • 06SEO foundation: schema (Product, Offer, AggregateOffer, BreadcrumbList), sitemap, structured data validation
    • 07GA4 + GTM + Meta Pixel + Snapchat Pixel + TikTok Pixel set up properly
    • 08Admin training (2 sessions) so your team can manage products, orders, content without us

    Which Platform Should You Actually Use? Honest Decision Aid

    Every other agency in Dubai pushes whichever platform they happen to specialise in. Shopify shops sell Shopify; Magento shops sell Magento. We're platform-agnostic and will tell you exactly which fits your business - including 'don't bother, you don't need ecommerce yet'.

    • 01Shopify: best for 10–500 SKUs, fast launch, AED 12K–60K build, AED 110–800/mo platform fee. See /shopify-store-development-dubai
    • 02WooCommerce: best when you already run WordPress, need custom workflows, 50–5,000 SKUs
    • 03Magento (Adobe Commerce): best for 5,000+ SKUs, complex B2B, multi-store, multi-currency
    • 04Custom Laravel/Node: best for marketplaces, subscription-first, content+commerce hybrids
    • 05Headless (Shopify Hydrogen, Next.js + Sanity): best when speed and content matter more than admin simplicity
    • 06Salla / Zid: better for KSA-first sellers, we'll honestly tell you when these fit

    UAE Payment & Compliance Stack - Built In, Not Bolted On

    BNPL is now 27% of UAE ecommerce checkout. Card-not-present runs hot for fraud and chargebacks. VAT and e-invoicing rules tightened in 2024. Most generic agencies treat all of this as 'integrations we'll quote separately'. For us it's standard fitment on every build.

    • 01Tabby (Pay Later, Pay in 4) - integrated and tested with refund flow
    • 02Tamara (Pay in 3) - integrated with split-shipment handling
    • 03PostPay - BNPL for higher AOV customers
    • 04Network International / N-Genius - direct integration, not redirect
    • 05Telr, PayTabs, Checkout.com, Stripe - multi-gateway failover where useful
    • 06FTA-compliant tax invoices with bilingual Arabic/English on PDF receipts
    • 07UAE PASS authentication where regulatory or service-business workflows benefit
    • 08PCI-DSS scope minimisation - we keep card data out of your servers

    Shipping, Cash-on-Delivery, and Returns That Actually Work in the UAE

    Generic Shopify themes assume credit card + courier shipping. The UAE is COD-heavy in some segments, multi-courier by default, and customers expect same-day in Dubai for many categories. We design the checkout and ops flow for what UAE customers actually do.

    • 01Aramex, Shipox, Quiqup, Fetchr, DHL, Emirates Post - pick the right courier per zone
    • 02Cash-on-Delivery flow with order confirmation calls / WhatsApp where you need them
    • 03Same-day delivery for Dubai (3-hour or 6-hour windows) where the courier supports
    • 04Returns portal - single-step return initiation, label printing, refund automation
    • 05Multi-warehouse / multi-location inventory for retail + ecommerce hybrid

    Arabic RTL Done Properly - Not Translated, Re-engineered

    Most Dubai ecommerce sites that 'have Arabic' have a Google Translate dropdown and a broken cart. We re-engineer the storefront for RTL - typography, line-height, icon mirroring, breadcrumb direction, form field alignment, currency display, date format. Real Arabic content, written by humans.

    • 01Native Arabic copy by in-house writer (not Google Translate, not freelancer)
    • 02RTL-aware theme: mirrored layouts, RTL Cairo / IBM Plex Arabic typography
    • 03Bilingual product database - Arabic + English fields validated separately
    • 04Hreflang and Arabic URL slugs for SEO
    • 05Bilingual email templates (order confirmation, shipping, refund, abandoned cart)

    Performance, SEO, and the 6 Months After Launch

    An ecommerce site that launches fast and gets slower every month is the norm. The reason: theme bloat, image creep, app stack growth. We tune Core Web Vitals at launch (LCP < 2.0s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1) and offer a Care Plan that monitors performance monthly so you don't degrade.

    • 01Core Web Vitals tuned at launch - measured, not estimated
    • 02Product schema, Offer schema, AggregateRating, BreadcrumbList all deployed and validated
    • 03GA4 + GTM + ecommerce events configured (purchase, add_to_cart, view_item, begin_checkout)
    • 04Meta + Snapchat + TikTok + Google Ads pixels configured server-side where supported
    • 05Care Plan (optional, AED 1,800/mo) - monthly performance + security + plugin updates
    • 06Conversion-rate-optimisation cycle available post-launch on retainer

    Why Azizi

    Why Azizi vs Pure Ecommerce Agencies

    Most Dubai ecommerce agencies hide pricing, push a single platform, and treat UAE-specific compliance as 'integrations we'll quote separately'. We don't.

    01

    Published AED pricing, real timelines

    Three tiers, three build windows, no quote wall. You see what you'll pay before you book a call. Most Dubai agencies will quote AED 15K to one client and AED 45K to another for the same scope.

    02

    Platform-agnostic - we pick what fits, not what we sell

    Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, custom - we deploy all of them. Most agencies push you onto their preferred platform regardless of fit. We'll tell you when you don't need ecommerce at all.

    03

    UAE compliance stack baked in

    Tabby, Tamara, PostPay, NI, Telr, VAT-compliant invoicing, Arabic RTL, COD flow, multi-courier - all standard, not paid add-ons. Most agencies bolt these on at AED 3K–8K each.

    04

    You own everything - source code, hosting, data

    Some Dubai agencies use proprietary builders or lock-in hosting. We don't. Source code is yours. Hosting is in your account. Data is yours. Switch agencies any time without losing anything.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Direct answers from 643+ engagements over 19+ years.

    We got three quotes for our store - AED 18K, AED 42K, and AED 65K - for what sounded like the same scope. Azizi was the only agency that broke down the AED number on the page itself. Six weeks later we launched. Tabby + Tamara live from day one. We've done 4× our previous monthly orders.
