We build Shopify stores for UAE businesses — PayTabs, Telr, bilingual Arabic/English, VAT-compliant, and built to sell across the Middle East from day one.
Shopify & eCommerce stores built for real brands
The UAE has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the world and one of the fastest-growing eCommerce markets in the Middle East. Dubai shoppers expect to find what they want online, pay with PayTabs or credit card, and receive their order within days. Businesses that have professional, fast, mobile-first Shopify stores are capturing this growing market. Those that don't are watching competitors take it.
But building a Shopify store for the UAE market requires more than simply installing a theme. UAE shoppers need PayTabs or Telr at checkout — not just Stripe. They need to see prices in AED. VAT invoicing must comply with Federal Tax Authority requirements. Arabic-speaking customers need a properly configured Arabic storefront — not a Google-translated page. And WhatsApp Business integration is essential for customer communication in the UAE market, where WhatsApp is the dominant business communication platform.
Elephyn Labs has built Shopify stores for brands including Mosh Australia, Moon Magic, Hickory Farms, and IAM3F Activewear — and digital solutions for Hitches & Glitches, the UAE's largest home maintenance company. We understand exactly what UAE shoppers expect and how to build a Shopify store that converts across the Middle East.
Every Shopify store we build for a UAE business is configured for Middle East shoppers, UAE payment methods, and Google UAE — from the very first line of code:
The two most trusted payment gateways for UAE eCommerce — fully integrated and tested at checkout. Credit cards, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay all supported. AED currency configured throughout.
Fully bilingual product pages, checkout, and customer communication in both Arabic and English — including right-to-left Arabic layout. Reach UAE nationals and Arabic-speaking customers across the Middle East.
VAT-inclusive AED pricing and Federal Tax Authority compliant invoicing built into your checkout. Your store generates compliant VAT receipts automatically for every transaction.
WhatsApp chat button integrated on every page. In the UAE, WhatsApp is the primary customer communication platform — customers expect to reach you on WhatsApp, and having it prominently placed increases conversion rates measurably.
Product feed configured for Google Shopping UAE — AED pricing, schema markup, and product page SEO optimised from launch day. Start appearing in Google Shopping searches across the UAE within weeks.
UAE has one of the world's highest smartphone usage rates. Every checkout is built mobile-first — fast, clean, and frictionless on every device, with Apple Pay and Samsung Pay available.
Both are excellent choices for UAE eCommerce. The right gateway depends on your business size and needs:
PayTabs is the most widely trusted payment gateway for UAE small businesses — simple to set up, supports all major UAE banks, and works seamlessly with Shopify.
Telr is designed for the Middle East market with multi-currency support and enterprise-level features for scaling UAE eCommerce businesses.
