Part 01 · Shopify
Shopify stores for the UAE: 75+ built
Best for in UAE: brands selling in the UAE and across the GCC, with English and Arabic and more than one currency.
75+Shopify stores built
Shopify is the usual choice for UAE brands: it handles English and Arabic, AED and other GCC currencies, and the apps a growing store needs. We have been a Shopify Partner since March 2020 and have built more than 75 stores: new builds, redesigns and migrations.
New Shopify store
Plan, theme, products, collections, shipping zones by emirate and payments, ready for launch.

Part 02 · Websites & web apps
Websites and web apps
Best for in UAE: real estate, clinics, B2B and free-zone companies in the UAE that need a bilingual site or a tool customers log in to.
Not every UAE business needs a store. We build fast company websites, landing pages for your campaigns, and web apps such as booking systems, property listings, client portals and internal dashboards, in English and Arabic from the start.
Company websites
WordPress or custom sites your team can edit, with service pages that rank and convert.

Part 03 · Mobile apps
Mobile apps: cross-platform and native
Best for in UAE: brands with repeat buyers, loyalty programmes or a service customers book every week.
UAE customers are used to doing everything in an app, from food to car service. An app makes sense when customers come back often. We build cross-platform apps for iPhone and Android from one code base, and native apps when performance or device features need it, then publish them on both stores.
Cross-platform
One code base for iOS and Android with Flutter or React Native: faster to build and to update.

Native iOS & Android
Swift and Kotlin apps when you need the best performance or deep device features.

Store-connected apps
Apps that read products and orders from your Shopify store, with push offers.

Part 04 · Checkout & payments
A checkout UAE buyers trust
Best for in UAE: stores that get add-to-carts but lose buyers at payment or delivery.
UAE buyers expect to pay in a tap, see the delivery date before they pay and, for bigger baskets, split the payment. We set up Apple Pay, cards and the local wallets and buy-now-pay-later options your store provider supports, keep cash on delivery where it still sells, and test every step on real phones.
Apple Pay
One-tap payment on iPhone, the fastest way to pay on mobile.

Cards & local wallets
Credit and debit cards and the local wallets your payment provider supports, set up so they work first time.

Part 05 · Speed & conversion
Speed and conversion
Best for in UAE: stores whose ads get clicks but not orders.
95+mobile PageSpeed · Jordan
Most UAE traffic is on phones, and buyers who wait leave for a marketplace that loads in a second. We cut heavy apps and images, simplify the product page and the checkout, and measure the change in real orders, not only in speed scores.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, INP and CLS fixed on the pages that get the ad traffic.

Shopify, in most cases: it handles English and Arabic, AED and other GCC currencies, and the apps a growing store needs. Company sites and lead businesses often fit WordPress better. We build on all of them and recommend the one that fits.
Are you a Shopify Partner?
Yes. AlGurus has been a Shopify Partner since March 2020 and has built more than 75 Shopify stores.
Which payment methods can you add?
Apple Pay, cards, and the local wallets and buy-now-pay-later options your store provider supports, plus cash on delivery if it still sells for you. We test each one with a real order; instalment providers are integrations we configure, not partnerships.
Can one store sell in the UAE and the rest of the GCC?
Yes. With Shopify Markets one store can sell in AED, SAR, QAR, KWD and more, with prices, languages, duties and delivery set per country.
Can you move my store to Shopify without losing sales?
Yes. We move products, customers and orders, redirect every old URL once, and launch outside a sales peak so rankings and ads keep working.
Do you build mobile apps too?
Yes: cross-platform apps (Flutter or React Native) for iPhone and Android from one code base, and native apps when you need them, published on the App Store and Google Play.
Will the store be connected to my ads?
Yes. Google, Meta, TikTok and Snapchat tracking is part of every build and is checked against real orders. See paid ads in the UAE.
How fast will I get a plan and a quote?
Your first plan arrives within one working day: the platform we suggest, the pages and integrations, and the timeline.
