Ecommerce Packages and Pricing in Dubai
Dubai ecommerce prices vary widely. Entry-level packages published in 2026 start at about AED 3,500 to 4,000, a simple professional store is commonly AED 5,000 to 6,000, and most small and medium business stores cost AED 8,000 to 35,000 (Skimbox). Digital Gravity's FAQ says stores start at around USD 3,000, which is about AED 11,000. Our packages start below those entry points so new online shops can launch without a large upfront budget.

Not included in these prices: platform subscriptions (Shopify plans start at roughly USD 29 per month), paid apps and plugins, payment provider fees (typically about 2.5 to 3.5 percent per transaction), hosting and domain renewals (WooCommerce hosting often costs AED 1,500 to 5,000 a year). We list these in your quote so there are no surprises.
Why the Starter is priced this way: it uses a template customised for your brand and covers up to 30 products. If you need custom styling, Arabic pages or a larger catalogue, choose Growth or Custom. We tell you which package fits before you pay.

Built for UAE Online Shoppers
A store that works in Europe or the US does not automatically work in the UAE. These are the details we set up from the start.
UAE payments: cards, wallets, BNPL and cash on delivery
We integrate Telr for card payments and Tabby for buy now, pay later. Tabby and Tamara are the two main BNPL providers in the UAE, and merchant guides suggest roughly a quarter of UAE orders still use cash on delivery, so we also set up verified COD where it suits your category. BNPL providers approve merchants themselves and typically charge higher fees than card gateways, so we help you decide which methods are worth enabling.
VAT-ready checkout
UAE standard VAT is 5%, and businesses must register once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 over 12 months. We configure your store to show and calculate VAT correctly at checkout and on order documents. Please confirm your own VAT treatment with your accountant.
B2B stores and UAE e-invoicing
If you sell wholesale or B2B, UAE e-invoicing is being phased in: from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, and from 1 July 2027 for other VAT-registered businesses. It applies to B2B and B2G transactions, not to ordinary consumer sales. For B2B stores we structure order, customer and tax data so it can connect to your accounting system or accredited e-invoicing provider.
Arabic (RTL) and multi-currency
On Growth and above we build bilingual English and Arabic stores with proper right-to-left layouts, and add multi-currency pricing when you sell beyond the UAE.
Mobile checkout, delivery and returns
Online shopping is now the norm in the UAE: Visa research reports that 55% of domestic payment volume now happens online or in apps. DHL research finds that 92% of UAE shoppers prioritise fast, free delivery and easy returns. We design a short mobile checkout and show clear delivery and returns information on product pages and at checkout.
Shopify, WooCommerce or Custom: Which Platform?
| Shopify | WooCommerce | Custom / headless | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Fast launch and simple management | Content-led stores and flexible customisation | Complex catalogues, B2B and unique workflows |
| Hosting | Included in the Shopify plan | You host it, so speed and security need care | Depends on the build |
| Ongoing costs | Monthly plan plus paid apps | Hosting, plugins and maintenance | Hosting and developer support |
| Flexibility | Good, within platform limits | High | Highest |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Lower to medium | Higher |
No platform is best for everyone. We recommend one after learning about your products, budget and growth plans.

Ecommerce SEO From Day One
Online stores need more than a nice design to be found on Google. We set up crawlable category and product structures, clean URLs, product schema markup, fast pages and, for bilingual stores, correct language versions. Rankings also depend on your content, competition and links, and no one can guarantee a position. When you are ready to grow traffic, see our technical SEO in Dubai and AI content system for Dubai businesses.
Who We Build Ecommerce Stores For
- Retail and direct-to-consumer brands moving online or improving an existing store
- B2B and wholesale businesses that need customer-specific pricing and ordering
- Dubai businesses that sell and ship beyond the UAE and need multi-currency
Is Hyperlinkes the Right Fit?
We are a good fit if you want a fixed-price store for a small or medium business, with UAE payments and VAT set up properly, and you are comfortable working over video calls and WhatsApp.
A larger Dubai-based agency may suit you better if you need a large multi-vendor marketplace, an on-site team in Dubai or in-person meetings. We would rather tell you that upfront.
How We Build Your Store
- Scoping call. We learn about your products, customers and goals, and recommend a platform.
- Fixed quote in AED. You get a written scope, price and timeline, including what is not included.
- Payments and VAT checklist. We plan your payment methods, delivery options and tax settings.
- Design approval. You review the design before development.
- Build and test. We build the store and place test orders on real devices.
- Launch and handover. We launch, train your team and support you afterwards.
Working remotely from India. We do not have a Dubai office. Dubai is only 1.5 hours behind India, so calls and video meetings are easy to schedule, and we use WhatsApp for quick updates.

Ecommerce Development FAQs
How much does ecommerce website development cost in Dubai?
Entry-level packages published in 2026 start at about AED 3,500 to 4,000, and most small and medium business stores cost AED 8,000 to 35,000. Our packages start at AED 2,499 for a Starter store, AED 4,999 for a Growth store and AED 9,499 for Custom or B2B builds, excluding VAT. Platform subscriptions, paid apps, payment fees, hosting and domains are separate.
Why is your Starter store so affordable?
The Starter uses a template customised with your branding and covers up to 30 products. That keeps the cost low. If you need custom styling, Arabic pages or a larger catalogue, the Growth and Custom packages cover them.
Which is better for my Dubai store: Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits a fast launch and simple management, but it has a monthly plan and app costs. WooCommerce offers more flexibility and suits content-led stores, but you manage hosting and security. We recommend one after learning about your products and budget.
Which payment gateways do you integrate for UAE stores?
Telr for card payments and Tabby for buy now, pay later are standard in our Dubai builds. We can add other UAE providers, such as Tamara or PayTabs, on request. Each provider approves your merchant account itself, and that can affect launch timing.
Should my store offer buy now, pay later?
For many categories, yes, especially higher-priced products. Tabby and Tamara are the two main BNPL providers in the UAE. They typically charge higher fees than card gateways, so we help you decide whether the extra conversions justify the cost for your products.
Should I offer cash on delivery?
Merchant guides suggest roughly a quarter of UAE orders still use cash on delivery, particularly for first-time buyers. It can help conversions but adds failed-delivery and cash-handling work. We can set it up with order verification so you decide per category.
Is VAT handled at checkout?
Yes. We configure your store to show and calculate UAE VAT (5% standard rate) at checkout and on order documents. VAT registration becomes mandatory once your taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 over 12 months, and we recommend confirming your treatment with your accountant.
Do I need e-invoicing for my online store?
UAE e-invoicing applies to B2B and B2G transactions, not to ordinary consumer sales. It becomes mandatory from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, and from 1 July 2027 for other VAT-registered businesses. If you sell wholesale, we structure your order and tax data so it can connect to your accounting system or accredited provider. We do not issue e-invoices ourselves.
Can you build an Arabic and multi-currency store?
Yes, on Growth and Custom packages. We build bilingual English and Arabic stores with proper right-to-left layouts, and add multi-currency pricing when you sell beyond the UAE.
How long does it take to build an online store?
It depends on the number of products, the features and how quickly your content is ready. Your fixed quote includes a timeline. Payment provider approval, such as Tabby or Telr onboarding, can also affect when you go live.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform without losing SEO?
Yes. We keep your important URLs where possible, set up redirects for those that change, carry over page titles and descriptions and check indexing after launch.
Can you integrate delivery partners, inventory or ERP systems?
Yes, where the partner or system offers an API. We confirm what is possible during scoping and include it in your fixed quote.
What costs are not included in the package price?
Platform subscriptions (such as a Shopify plan), paid apps and plugins, payment provider fees, hosting and domain renewals. We list these in your quote.
Will my online store rank on Google?
We build every store SEO-ready, with clean structure, product schema and fast pages. Rankings also depend on your content, competition and links, and no one can guarantee a specific position.
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. We work with Dubai clients remotely from Udaipur, India, through video calls and WhatsApp. Dubai is only 1.5 hours behind India, so scheduling is easy.
