Ecommerce website development in Abu Dhabi

Online stores for Abu Dhabi brands and retailers — payments through UAE gateways, delivery across the emirate, Arabic and English storefronts and prices shown the way UAE rules require.

Why a brand store, not only a marketplace

Shoppers in the capital are used to delivery apps and marketplaces that bring almost anything within hours. A brand store is compared with them from the first tap: it has to be as quick to browse and as easy to pay. In return it gives what a marketplace does not — your own customer list, repeat orders without a commission and full control over how products are presented.

Most brands keep both channels. The marketplace brings new buyers, and the store, the packaging insert and the messenger follow-up bring them back.

A checkout built for the UAE

Delivery across a large emirate

Delivery in Abu Dhabi emirate covers very different distances: the island city, the mainland suburbs, Al Ain in the east and the Al Dhafra region in the west. The store calculates zones and fees from your own table, offers same-day slots only where you can really fulfil them and hands the order to your courier or your drivers.

Customers see the delivery price before checkout, not after. That single change usually removes the most common reason for abandoned carts.

Two storefronts: Arabic and English

An Arabic storefront is a separate version of the shop, not a translated menu. Product names and filters are written in Arabic, search understands both scripts, product pages are mirrored right to left, and each language has its own addresses so Google indexes Arabic categories for Arabic queries. Product data stays in one place, so prices and stock never differ between the two versions.

Catalogue and stock without manual copying

If your products live in an accounting or ERP system, the store reads them from there. We have built stores that receive products, prices and stock from 1C automatically — Pozhservis syncs 611 items this way — and catalogues with dozens of filters. For a new brand, products can start in a spreadsheet and move to automatic sync later.

Pages a UAE store needs before launch

Online sales must be covered by an activity on your trade licence; your business setup adviser confirms that. We prepare the structure of the pages a store needs — delivery, returns and refunds, privacy, terms of sale and contact details — and fill them with the wording you approve. We do not copy policies from other shops.

What an Abu Dhabi store costs

Ecommerce development starts from AED 4,000. A store with a product builder and customer accounts, on the level of our flower delivery projects, is around AED 4,000–5,000 for an agreed scope. Integrations with ERP, couriers and large catalogues are quoted after we see the data. If you are planning a property launch rather than a shop, see real estate website design in Abu Dhabi.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Which payment gateway should we use in Abu Dhabi?

The one your company can contract with on good terms. We connect Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Checkout.com, Stripe or another provider through its API and test the whole payment flow before launch.

Do prices on the site have to include VAT?

Yes. UAE rules require displayed prices to include VAT. The store shows the VAT-inclusive price and the tax amount on the invoice; your accountant confirms the settings.

Can the store deliver to Al Ain and Al Dhafra?

Yes. Delivery zones and fees are set from your table, and you can limit same-day slots or cash on delivery to the zones where you can actually provide them.

Can we sell on Amazon or Noon and our own store at the same time?

Yes. Most brands do. Stock can be managed in one system so that the store and marketplaces do not sell the same item twice.

Do we need a separate licence to sell online?

Online sales must be covered by an activity on your trade licence. Your setup adviser or licensing authority confirms what you need; we build the store around the licence you have.

Can customers choose a delivery slot?

Yes. Slots are built from your own schedule and capacity, and fully booked slots close automatically.

Who fills the catalogue?

Import from your files or accounting system is part of the integration. Writing descriptions and preparing photos for a large catalogue is quoted by volume.
