Overview

eCommerce Development Company in the UAE

UAE shoppers are highly mobile, multilingual and used to premium delivery and service. Codemotives builds online stores for UAE retailers and brands, and businesses in the UAE can work with us remotely from Ahmedabad, India, only 1.5 hours apart in time. We focus on checkout speed, clear delivery details and a catalog your team can manage easily.

Local needs are distinct. Storefronts typically need Arabic right-to-left layouts alongside English, checkout may offer cards, wallets and cash on delivery, and prices and invoices must handle VAT. Delivery relies on local couriers and address formats without strict postcodes, and customer data is handled with the UAE PDPL in mind.

Context

What matters here

  • 01

    Arabic RTL storefronts

    Mirrored layouts, Arabic typography and bilingual search need testing beyond simple translation.

  • 02

    Cash on delivery handling

    COD remains popular, which adds cash reconciliation, refusal risk and courier coordination.

  • 03

    Address and delivery quirks

    Delivery addresses rely on landmarks and area names, so address capture and courier handoff need care.

  • 04

    VAT on prices and invoices

    Pricing display, tax invoices and credit notes must handle VAT consistently across channels.

FAQs

Common questions

Have a question that is not covered here? Get in touch.

What is the time difference with the UAE?

The UAE is on UTC+4 all year, 1.5 hours behind IST, with no daylight saving. Business days overlap almost completely, which makes launches and support coordination straightforward.

Do you build Arabic right-to-left stores?

Yes. We design and test RTL layouts and bilingual catalogs as a core feature, not an afterthought. Final Arabic copy should be reviewed by a native speaker.

Can you support cash on delivery?

Yes, COD can be added with confirmation steps and courier reconciliation. We help set rules for risky orders, though refusals cannot be eliminated entirely.

What drives cost and timeline?

Platform choice, languages, catalog size, courier and payment integrations and custom features. Codemotives provides a phased estimate after discovery.
