Shopify developer · Abu Dhabi
Shopify developer for brands in Abu Dhabi
For brands in Abu Dhabi, I build and fix Shopify stores from Karachi, one hour ahead: a store that reads right in Arabic and English, couriers that get the order from Shopify, and a checkout with the cards, pay-later and cash options UAE shoppers use.

What stores in the UAE need
What I fix and build for stores in the UAE
Arabic and English side by side
UAE stores sell in both languages. Each needs its own clean version: Arabic reading right to left, English where it belongs, and nothing leaking between them.
Fast delivery, tracked
Shoppers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi expect same- or next-day delivery. Aramex, iMile, Quiqup, Emirates Post and DHL should get the order from Shopify and send tracking back.
Cards, pay-later and cash
A gateway such as Telr, PayTabs, Checkout.com or Network International for cards, Tabby or Tamara for pay-later, and cash on delivery for the customers who still want it.
One catalogue, several markets
The UAE store is often one of several. Products, metafields and metaobjects should move between markets without anything dropped, as I did for Balqees.
Working with me from Abu Dhabi
- Karachi is one hour ahead of the UAE, so my whole working day overlaps with yours.
- Google Meet or WhatsApp, with the work shown on a preview theme before it goes live.
- A written scope and a fixed price before any build, and support after launch.

Questions
Do you work with brands in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. I run the web side of Balqees, which has its main store in the UAE, and all my work is done remotely from Karachi, one hour ahead of the UAE. Calls are on Google Meet or WhatsApp.
Can the store be in Arabic and English?
Yes. Shopify gives each language its own address and the theme takes its direction from the language. The work is making sure each version shows only its own language and reads the right way round.
Which couriers and payment methods do you set up?
Aramex, iMile, Quiqup, Emirates Post or DHL for delivery, a gateway such as Telr, PayTabs, Checkout.com or Network International for cards, Tabby or Tamara for pay-later, and cash on delivery if you need it.
How much does it cost?
Every job gets a fixed price after a short call and a written scope, whether it's a full bilingual store or one integration. If you'd rather start small, the audit has a fixed price.
