SHOPIFY · DUBAI & UAE
Shopify Developer in Dubai
Premium Shopify 2.0 stores for Dubai and UAE brands. Custom Liquid sections, conversion-focused design, AED-ready checkout and Arabic RTL support — built to compete with the slickest stores on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Built for the UAE market
Dubai shoppers expect a different experience. Mobile-first by default, Apple Pay and Tabby front and centre, AED pricing with VAT included, and design polish that matches the brands they follow on Instagram. I build Shopify 2.0 stores tuned for those expectations — fast, beautifully art-directed and ready for Arabic RTL the moment you need it.
Whether you are a fashion label in Al Quoz, a F&B brand in JLT or a homegrown beauty startup launching from Dubai Design District, I help you ship a store that turns ad traffic into revenue. Every build is conversion-tracked from day one, with proper Shopify Analytics, GA4 and Meta Pixel wiring so your media buyer knows exactly what is working.
What I build
Custom Shopify 2.0 themes
Hand-coded Liquid themes with reusable sections and merchant-friendly customisation. Built on Shopify’s modern Dawn architecture, not a clunky $200 ThemeForest theme.
Conversion optimisation
Sticky add-to-cart, smart upsells, abandoned-cart recovery, Klaviyo flows and one-page checkout setup. Every change is measured, never guessed.
Arabic & RTL ready
True bilingual stores with proper Arabic typography, RTL layouts and AED / multi-currency support. Localisation that feels native, not bolted on.
A typical Shopify project
- Brand & design pass — wireframes, then high-fidelity Figma comps reviewed page by page.

- Apps & integrations — Klaviyo, Judge.me reviews, Tabby / Tamara BNPL, Aramex / Fetchr shipping, ZATCA-style invoicing where needed.
- Performance — image pipeline, lazy-loading, third-party script audit. Target: 70+ mobile PageSpeed, sub-2-second loads on UAE 4G.

Frequently asked
Can you migrate from WooCommerce or Magento?
Yes. I handle full migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce or another Shopify store, including products, customers, orders and SEO redirects.
Do you set up Tabby / Tamara BNPL?
Yes — both are first-class integrations for UAE and GCC stores, and I configure them with proper PDP messaging and cart-level pricing.
What is the typical timeline for a Shopify build?
3–6 weeks for a full custom theme, depending on number of templates and integrations. Smaller redesigns can launch in under two weeks.
