/ Shopify Plus Partner · Dubai and Abu Dhabi
We build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for brands across the UAE: cards through N-Genius, instalments through Tabby and Tamara, Arabic that reads right to left, and every order posted to finance. AI is built into every store from the first sprint.
/ Payments and Arabic
UAE shoppers pay by card through a local acquirer, spread larger baskets with Tabby or Tamara, still ask for cash on delivery and expect proper Arabic. We design this layer first.
A Tabby integration has two parts: the checkout method and the instalment message on product and cart pages. Most of the lift comes from the message, so we design it into your theme.
Tamara installs the same way, with its own Arabic widget. We test partial refunds and cancellations back to the provider before go-live, so each lands on the right order.
Many UAE merchants already bank with Network International’s N-Genius. We connect it with 3-D Secure inside checkout and put the acquirer reference on each order, so settlements trace to baskets.
Telr settles in dirhams and makes a sound second acquirer. With two routes live, an outage or decline spike on one becomes a routing change, not a day of lost trade.
Many Gulf sellers still close orders at the door. We agree order caps, emirate-level availability and a refused-parcel path with your fulfilment partner, so returns reconcile.
Right to left is layout work, not a translation plugin. Direction, mirrored components, Arabic numerals, line height and icon flipping live in the theme, and every template is reviewed as a shopper would read it.
Shopify Markets and Translate & Adapt give Arabic its own URL path and hreflang. Both languages share one product record, so prices, stock and copy stay in step.
UAE baskets are filled on phones. Express wallets, a phone-number-first account flow and a checkout that survives a patchy signal lift conversion more than any banner.

AI monitoring and incident triageManaged services/ How we deliver
Small stores go live in 8 to 12 weeks, mid-market builds in 12 to 24 and enterprise programmes in 6 to 12 months. Catalogue size, connected systems and extra storefronts set your band.
An architect from our team in Dubai audits your catalogue, tax, payment and channel needs before design starts.
The store is built integration first and upgrade safe, Arabic and English side by side, and you review it demo by demo.
Acquirers, Tabby and Tamara, your ERP and couriers are connected and tested, then launch runs with rollback and monitoring already live.
Conversion work, speed and release checks continue on a shared roadmap, with a named owner who stays with your account.
/ Accelerators
Much of what a new agency would quote as discovery already exists here as a tested playbook. Each card links to the programme it came from.
A five-year SFCC build moved to Shopify for Enterprise in three months with zero downtime, cut over in stages. The sequence and rollback points carry to any large UAE replatform.
Native checkout capped variants at three options and charged third-party instalment fees. Checkout UI Extensions, a Functions discount engine and seven-variant support got past both.
Around 2,000 dealers moved from email and spreadsheets to single-login ordering, with contract catalogues, per-SKU pricing and roughly 25 price tiers modelled natively in Shopify Plus B2B.
A jewellery retailer moved from Magento to Shopify while Odoo kept running inventory, customers and accounting, with product data syncing in real time.
/ Industries
Vertical teams with their own data models and reference builds. These eight are where UAE merchants most often bring us their Shopify work.
Storefront, marketplace and stock on one Shopify catalogue, because for most Gulf sellers the online store is one channel of several.
Explore retail commerce cases →High-value baskets, certificate data and made-to-order lead times, with fraud checks and instalments suited to a considered purchase.
Explore jewellery cases →Supplement, pharmacy and clinical supply stores, with personal-data handling designed in from the start, not checked at launch.
Explore healthcare cases →Fitment-aware parts catalogues, dealer stores and service booking tied to live stock across several emirates.
Explore automotive cases →Shipping rates, courier partners, cash-on-delivery reconciliation and live tracking joined to the store.
Explore logistics cases →Contract catalogues, negotiated price lists and reorder flows for buyers who purchase on account rather than on card.
Explore manufacturing cases →Developer and brokerage storefronts, enquiry capture and customer records joined to the systems behind them.
Explore real estate cases →Course and material stores, enrolment journeys and content that sells without a separate platform.
Explore education cases →/ E-invoicing and VAT
The storefront feeds the tax invoice; your ERP usually issues it. What matters is the data the store hands to finance, and when. We build that hand-off before your wave.
Shopify records the order and its tax lines; your ERP raises the tax invoice. The integration carries the buyer’s TRN, the tax treatment per line and credit notes back.
Showing prices with 5% VAT included is one setting. The real work is zero-rated exports, reverse-charge imports and designated-zone treatment at the order line, which your VAT 201 return relies on.
Under the Ministry of Finance’s Peppol-based model, each invoice travels as structured data through an Accredited Service Provider to the Federal Tax Authority. A pilot runs in 2026; mandatory waves follow from 2027.
We clean master data to valid TRNs, map tax codes to UAE categories, build bilingual invoice layouts and test with your provider. Accreditation is the provider’s; the integration is ours.

/ Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our UAE team works from Dubai, with a second office in Abu Dhabi, reachable on +971 54 737 4253. The people who run your workshops own your account and come on site whenever the project needs it, backed by 10+ global offices.
Kashkha, a Dubai Shopify merchant, brought us in to change its store theme and reviewed the work on Shopify in November 2024. For Sacoor Brothers, the Middle East luxury fashion retailer, we built a multi-store Shopify setup with Network International and Tabby in the stack.
Yes. Brainvire is a Shopify Plus Partner, working with Shopify since August 2021 and rated 5.0 across ten merchant reviews. Two of those reviewers trade in the Gulf: Sacoor Brothers and Kashkha.
Yes. Both publish Shopify apps, and each works best in two parts: the payment option at checkout and instalment messaging on product and cart pages. We set eligibility by cart currency and country, then reconcile each settlement file to its order.
N-Genius from Network International and Telr are the local routes most UAE merchants use, and both connect to Shopify with 3-D Secure inside checkout. Tabby and Tamara add instalments, wallets serve phone shoppers and cash on delivery still matters.
Indirectly, because your ERP usually raises the tax invoice, not the store. Under the Peppol-based model, invoices reach the Federal Tax Authority as structured data through an Accredited Service Provider, with a pilot in 2026 and mandatory waves from 2027. Your orders must carry clean TRN and tax data.
Shopify Plus, if you want to trade fast with a lean team and leave hosting, patching and scaling to the platform. Adobe Commerce fits when several brands share one catalogue with deep pricing rules, or you must own the hosting. We score both against your margins and channels.
From 3 weeks to 12 months, depending on scope: theme rebuilds run 3 to 8 weeks, enterprise programmes 6 to 12 months. Catalogue size, connected systems, bilingual trading and extra GCC storefronts drive cost. We scope in prioritised buckets, so the price is clear before you sign.
Yes, when the theme is built for it. We mirror the layout, flip icons and set Arabic numerals and line height in the theme. Meetings and documents run in English, while storefront copy, catalogue content and customer messages are delivered in Arabic.
Through an integration we map field by field into Odoo, Dynamics or your current ledger. Orders, refunds, settlements and the buyer’s TRN leave the store in an agreed format, the ERP raises the invoice, and each payout reconciles to its order.
A Shopify agency plans, designs and builds your Shopify store, then keeps it running. That covers Shopify store development, design and technical work on themes and apps, payment and ERP integration, Shopify migration from another platform, and ongoing support after launch. As a Shopify Plus Partner, we run all of it for your business with one accountable team.
Start with the Shopify stores the agency has built, and open the case studies behind them. Check that the team has connected the payment routes you need, such as N-Genius, Tabby and Tamara, and knows how to build Arabic right to left in the theme. Ask who owns your account after launch and how your store hands orders to finance. The right partner puts all of this in a written scope tailored to your business.
The best Shopify agency for you is the one whose record matches your store. Look for a live Shopify website of a similar size, the payment and Arabic work your shoppers expect, and a team that stays after go-live. We are glad to walk you through our Shopify work, from Sacoor Brothers to the Shop LC replatform, so you can judge the fit.
Yes. Our managed Shopify support covers theme, app and integration upkeep on an agreed cadence, with release checks before each Shopify update and fixes in normal UAE working hours. Your account stays with our team in Dubai, backed by Shopify experts who already know your store, and a named owner keeps a long-term roadmap for conversion and speed.
Yes. Shopify is a hosted commerce platform that merchants in the UAE use to sell online, and a store can take local payment routes such as N-Genius and Telr alongside Tabby and Tamara. Trade licensing and VAT registration sit with your business, and we build the store to ensure its orders carry that tax data cleanly.
Shopify Plus is the enterprise plan of Shopify. It opens the information, shipping and payment steps of checkout to Checkout UI Extensions, lets custom Shopify apps use Shopify Functions, adds fuller B2B features and supports expansion stores for more markets. We recommend Plus when checkout rules, B2B buyers or several GCC storefronts justify it, and standard Shopify when they do not.
Yes. Shopify migration is one of our eight practices. We have moved stores to Shopify from Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce and Magento, and we plan every move to keep order history, redirects and search rankings intact. The Shop LC and Wet Sounds cases on this page show how those cutovers ran.
Yes. As a Shopify development company with a second office in Abu Dhabi and our UAE team in Dubai, we work with brands across the UAE and the wider Gulf. The team comes on site whenever your project needs it. Workshops, demos and support run in your working week. Our clients in the region include Sacoor Brothers, the Middle East luxury fashion retailer, and Kashkha, a Dubai Shopify merchant.
Yes. On Shopify Plus we build company accounts, per-SKU price lists and draft-order approvals into the same storefront your retail buyers use. For Wet Sounds, around 2,000 dealers moved from email and spreadsheets to single-login ordering on Shopify Plus B2B.
Both. Design and build run as one stage: storefronts are designed in Arabic and English together, reviewed demo by demo and built for your brand on an upgrade-safe theme. Stores that need rules Shopify does not ship get custom Shopify apps, from pre-orders to emirate-level availability.
After launch, conversion work, speed and release checks continue on a shared roadmap with a named owner. We use your store data to help you choose what to fix first, from checkout steps to product pages, so each change serves your business goals. When you are ready to add a GCC storefront or move to Shopify Plus, the same team plans it.
