Shopify stores
by industry.

For UAE retailers and brands who want a Shopify store built around how their category actually sells: prescriptions, gold rates, discovery sets, size guides or trade accounts.

Book a scoping call Shopify development

Shopify is the same platform for an oud house and an optical chain. The store isn't. What a perfume buyer needs before paying has little in common with what a spectacle wearer or a trade customer needs, and UAE retail adds its own layer: Arabic and English, COD next to Tabby and Tamara, branches that hold stock, and VAT invoices that must carry your TRN. These pages cover how we build Shopify stores for the industries we build for, what each one needs that a generic theme doesn't do, and where the hard parts are.

All of them rest on the same two services: Shopify development in Dubai for the store itself, and Shopify ERP integration for keeping stock, prices and orders in line with your back office.

Why industry matters on Shopify

Most of the work in a good store is in the details a template leaves out. An eyewear store has to turn a frame, two lenses and a prescription into one order the lab can read. A jewellery store has to reprice when the gold rate moves. A wholesaler needs a different price for every customer group and an invoice their accountant will accept. Each of those decides which apps you need, which you can skip, and where a small custom app costs less over time than three subscriptions stitched together.

The proof we can point to is in optical: we built the Shopify online arm of Dubai Optical / Opti-Vision, a multi-branch UAE retailer, including the ERP/POS integration that keeps stock, prices and orders in sync with the stores, and our own lens-customisation app, LensPath. Everything else on these pages is how we would approach your category, described as plainly as we can.

How we work

Every project starts with a scoping call about your products, channels, branches and back office. Every project is scoped and quoted individually. We work with a small number of clients at a time, and the person on the call is the person building your store. Not sure your category fits? Tell us about your store.

● FAQ

Industries
FAQ.

Do you only work with the industries listed here?

No. These are the categories where UAE retail has the most specific needs and where we have written up our approach. If you sell something else on Shopify in the UAE, the same build and integration work applies.

Do you have case studies for every industry?

No. Our named work is the Shopify arm of Dubai Optical / Opti-Vision and our LensPath app. For other categories we describe how we would build the store, and we're clear about that on every page.
