Shopify Agency for Dubai: Your Store, Built and Run by One Team
Webly is a Shopify agency for Dubai and UAE brands, based in Sharjah. One team builds your whole store: setup, theme design, Arabic and English, product pages, payment gateways such as Tabby and Tamara, cash on delivery and shipping. We can move your store from Salla, Zid or WooCommerce, and run it every month after launch if you want.
Opening a store, moving one, or fixing one that does not sell?
This service is for UAE brands and shops whose customers buy at a checkout, on Shopify. It usually starts in one of four places:
- Your first online store: you sell perfume and oud, abayas, skincare, home goods or gifts on Instagram, with nowhere to check out.
- A move from Salla, Zid or WooCommerce, with your products and customers coming along.
- A store that does not sell: slow, English-only, or hard to buy from on a phone.
- One team after launch for updates, orders and ads, instead of finding a new Shopify developer in Dubai for each job.
We work from our office in Sharjah for brands in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.
What does our ecommerce website design for Dubai include?
The store itself
Shopify store setup, a theme designed and customised for your brand, and product pages that answer buyers’ questions, in Arabic and English.
Your products, uploaded or moved
Your products uploaded with photos, prices and variants. Selling on Salla, Zid or WooCommerce? We move the store to Shopify and point old links to the new pages.
Payments, shipping and apps
Payment gateways such as Tabby and Tamara, cash on delivery, shipping rates for the areas you deliver to, and the apps your store needs.
Monthly running, if you want it
After launch, we can run the store with you: updates, orders, conversion work where buyers drop off, and ads for the store.
How a Shopify store setup runs, from the audit to the first order
- The free audit We look at your products, your current store if you have one, and how your customers buy.
- Scope and quote Pages, languages, payment options, delivery areas and apps, in writing, with a custom quote and the timeline.
- The build We set up the store, design the theme, write both languages, add or move your products, and connect payments and shipping.
- Test orders A paid order, a failed payment, a refund, a cancellation and a fulfilled order, so you see every email your customers get.
- Launch Your domain points to the store, old links lead to the new pages, and buyers can order.
- Monthly running, optional Updates, orders, conversion work on the pages that lose buyers, and ads for the store.
How long does it take? It depends on the products, languages, apps and any move from another platform. We set the timeline in your quote.
Can a Shopify store sell in Arabic and English?
Yes. Shopify lets a store sell in up to 20 languages on its Basic, Grow, Shopify and Advanced plans, each language with its own web address, such as yourstore.com/ar.
Right to left depends on the theme. Shopify says the latest versions of its Horizon themes support Arabic and other right-to-left languages. With any other theme, we check the Arabic layout first.
The checkout follows the language the customer browsed in. Arabic is not among the 33 languages Shopify translates for checkout, so we write the Arabic checkout and order-email wording ourselves.

How do UAE customers pay, and how do orders reach them?
A Shopify store in the UAE usually offers a mix of these three:
| Option | How it works in the UAE |
|---|---|
| Shopify Payments | For online stores: Visa, Mastercard and Maestro, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay. Needs a UAE company registration number and a UAE bank account in AED. Payouts in AED; settlement takes at least 5 business days. |
| Tabby and Tamara | Split payments through each provider’s Shopify app, after you sign up with them as a merchant. They charge their own fees, and Shopify adds a transaction fee set by your plan. |
| Cash on delivery | A Shopify manual payment method: the order stays unpaid until you mark it paid, and Shopify charges no transaction fee on it. |
Shipping is set by zone: your own flat rates, free shipping, or carrier-calculated rates. Nearby customers can also get local delivery within a set distance, or collect from your shop.
