Ecommerce Development
Company in Dubai.

Custom headless builds range from AED 30,000 to AED 150,000 depending on catalog size, integrations, and design complexity. If you want to launch without a large upfront build, our Business-in-a-Box plan starts from AED 1,000 per month with design, hosting, and support included.

Yes. When built correctly (SSR, optimized structure), headless ecommerce provides excellent SEO performance, especially for competitive markets like Dubai.

Yes. We migrate existing Shopify, Magento, or custom stores to a headless architecture with minimal disruption.

We work with Shopify, custom backends, and API-driven ecommerce solutions using modern frontend frameworks like Next.js.

Honest answer: not every store needs headless. If you have a small catalog, a standard theme meets your design needs, and your traffic is modest, standard Shopify is faster and cheaper to run. Headless pays off when you hit real ceilings: custom UX a theme cannot deliver, content-heavy storefronts, multi-region or multi-language selling (including Arabic RTL), or Core Web Vitals scores that themes cannot reach. Our architecture audit tells you which side of that line you are on — including when the answer is to stay on standard Shopify.

It depends on your backend and team. Shopify merchants should look at Hydrogen with Oxygen hosting to keep native checkout. Teams wanting a bespoke storefront on infrastructure they control usually pick Next.js Commerce on Vercel. Open-source-first companies choose Medusa or Saleor for full backend ownership with no licence fees. Enterprise catalogs with multi-country requirements fit commercetools. We benchmark your catalog, integrations, and budget against each option before recommending one.

A theme-led Shopify store is typically live in 2 to 4 weeks. A WooCommerce build runs 5 to 8 weeks, Magento or Adobe Commerce 10 to 16 weeks, a headless Hydrogen or Next.js storefront 8 to 16 weeks, and a fully custom build with B2B or marketplace logic 10 to 20 weeks. Every project runs the same six phases: discovery and platform decision, UX and storefront design, build and integrations, data migration, UAT and performance tuning, then launch and aftercare. Timelines move mainly on catalog size, the number of integrations, and how quickly product content and approvals come back to us.

There is no single best platform, only the right fit for your catalog and team. Shopify suits new brands and small catalogs that need to launch fast. WooCommerce suits WordPress-led brands running content and commerce together. Magento or Adobe Commerce suits large catalogs with complex pricing rules and multi-store setups. A custom or headless build makes sense when you need business logic no platform handles — B2B tier pricing, a marketplace, ERP-driven stock, or Core Web Vitals a theme cannot reach. We publish the AED bands and timelines for all five options on this page, and our discovery phase ends with a written platform recommendation before any build starts.

We integrate the acquirers and wallets UAE shoppers actually use: Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Checkout.com, Amazon Payment Services and Stripe for cards, Tabby and Tamara for buy-now-pay-later, and Apple Pay and Google Pay for one-tap checkout. We also configure cash on delivery with an optional surcharge and order verification, local-bank 3D Secure flows tested on UAE-issued cards, and multi-currency pricing for GCC shoppers with AED as the settlement currency. Which gateways make sense depends on your merchant account, average order value, and the fees each provider quotes you.

Yes — SEO preservation is planned from day one of a migration, not patched afterwards. We transfer products, variants, customers and order history with a reconciliation report, then build a complete 301 map from every old URL including filtered and paginated collection pages. Before cutover we check redirect, canonical, hreflang and structured-data parity on staging, and we switch DNS with zero downtime, then monitor rankings and traffic for the weeks after launch. Common migration paths we run are Magento to Shopify or Hydrogen, WooCommerce to Hydrogen or Next.js, legacy PHP carts to a Next.js storefront, and in-house monoliths to commercetools or Medusa.

Yes, both. B2B and wholesale builds cover customer-specific and tier pricing, bulk or CSV ordering, quote-request (RFQ) workflows with approvals, credit terms and purchase orders, self-service account portals, multi-warehouse inventory, ERP-linked live stock, and punchout connections for enterprise procurement. Multi-vendor marketplaces add vendor onboarding and KYC, per-vendor dashboards, commission rules and split payouts, escrow-style holds and dispute handling, unified search and checkout across vendor catalogs, and vendor-level shipping rules and SLAs. Both sit toward the upper end of the AED 30,000 to 150,000 band because the vendor and account layers are effectively a second product alongside the storefront.

Ask for five things in writing before you sign. First, a platform recommendation with reasoning — if an agency recommends the same platform to everyone, that is a sales position, not advice. Second, a published or scoped AED price band rather than a discovery call that gates every number. Third, named UAE specifics: which payment gateways, which couriers, VAT-compliant invoicing, and whether Arabic RTL is treated as a real workstream or a toggle. Fourth, a migration plan with a 301 map if you already have a store, because that is where rankings and revenue get lost. Fifth, what happens after launch: who fixes things, how quickly, and what the monthly support arrangement costs. Also confirm you own the source code and data outright at handover.
