Frequently asked questions

How much does an e-commerce website cost in the UAE?

[INSERT REAL AED RANGE, e.g. “Projects at codecreate.net typically start from AED X for a Shopify store and AED Y for custom or Magento builds.”] Final cost depends on platform, number of products, custom features, Arabic/English support, and integrations. We provide a fixed AED quote after a scoping call.

Which platform is best for UAE e-commerce: Shopify or Magento?

Shopify suits most UAE brands that want fast launch, low maintenance, and reliable checkout. Magento suits large catalogs, complex pricing, B2B workflows, or heavy customization. Custom builds fit unique business models. We recommend a platform after reviewing your catalog size, budget, and growth plans.

Which payment gateways can you integrate in the UAE?

We integrate Telr, Network International (N-Genius), Stripe UAE, and Ziina, plus Apple Pay and cash on delivery where supported [CONFIRM]. Gateway availability depends on your business type and licensing, so we help you choose the right provider and complete setup and testing.

Can you build an Arabic/English bilingual online store?

Yes. We build bilingual stores with native Arabic right-to-left (RTL) layouts, translated product content, and a language switcher. We also set up hreflang tags (ar-AE and en-AE) so search engines serve the right version to UAE shoppers.

How long does a custom e-commerce build take in Dubai?

[CONFIRM TIMELINES] A Shopify store typically takes X to Y weeks. Magento and custom builds usually take Z to W weeks. Timelines depend on catalog size, integrations, design approvals, and Arabic content readiness.

Do I need a trade license to sell online in the UAE?

In most cases, yes. Businesses selling online in the UAE generally need a valid trade license or e-commerce license, and payment gateways usually require one. Requirements vary by emirate and activity, so check with your local authority, such as Dubai DET, or your free zone. This is not legal advice.
