Local setup
Set up for the UAE
In short: You get one developer, a fixed price agreed before we start, and a store set up for UAE shoppers: AED pricing, local payment options and WhatsApp support.
Pricing and VAT
Prices in AED with 5% VAT handled correctly, plus other currencies such as USD and SAR if you sell across the Gulf.
Payments
Cards, Apple Pay and buy-now-pay-later such as Tabby or Tamara, and cash on delivery if you offer it.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp buttons for questions and purchase support, which UAE shoppers use constantly.
Delivery
Same-day or next-day delivery options and clear shipping messages for the UAE and GCC.
Working together
Working across time zones
India is only 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE, so we share almost the whole working day. Calls and quick questions are easy.
- You deal with me directly, from the first call to launch.
- One fixed price, agreed before any work starts, paid in milestones.
- You own the code, content and every account.

FAQ
Questions
How do payments work?
In milestones. You pay as each agreed stage is delivered and approved, never the full amount upfront.
Can customers pay with Tabby or Tamara?
Yes. Both have integrations for Shopify and WooCommerce, alongside cards, Apple Pay and cash on delivery.
Can my store sell in AED, USD and SAR?
Yes. Etika Jewels offers checkout in all three. On Shopify this is handled with Shopify Markets.
Can we meet in person?
I work remotely from India, which is only 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE, so video calls fit easily into your day.
