E-commerce development · Online stores
Online store development in the UAE usually starts with a theme. It ends with a second stock figure, a second customer list and a monthly export to the accountant. Next Orbit builds stores the other way round: on e-tijariX, which it offers, implements and supports, the storefront, the sales desk, the warehouse and the ledger read the same data. Where a catalogue-only store is the right fit, we build on Shopify or a custom Next.js front end instead.
Quick answer
Online store development in the UAE covers storefront design, product data, payments, delivery, Arabic and English content and the link to stock and accounts. Next Orbit builds stores on e-tijariX, which it implements and supports. The storefront studio has a theme, drag-and-drop home builder and live preview, AI search, product pages with bundles and quote requests, and B2B company accounts with tiers, credit terms and approvals. It is ready to connect to card gateways such as PayTabs, Network International, Checkout.com, Telr and Stripe, to Apple Pay, Google Pay, Tabby and Tamara, and to couriers such as Aramex, DHL Express, Quiqup and Emirates Post. The store sells from the same stock and posts to the same ledger as the ERP. Catalogue-only stores go on Shopify or a custom front end.
What we deliver

Deliverable 01
Retail shoppers and verified dealers buy from the same storefront at their own prices. Dealers apply online, upload KYC documents, sign their agreement electronically and get tiers, credit limits and pay on account. Company accounts have buyers, approvers, spending limits, quick order by SKU or CSV and requisition lists. See B2B e-commerce platform.

Deliverable 06
When a brand needs a catalogue-only store without stock, dealer or accounting links, we build on Shopify: theme customisation, apps, UAE payment and shipping setup and Arabic content. When one stock figure and one ledger are needed later, the Migration Centre imports the Shopify store into e-tijariX.

Part of our e-commerce development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallWe deliver the work from one office in Dubai and serve clients across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the whole UAE and the GCC.
As an e-commerce development company in the UAE we handle storefront design, product data, payment gateways, courier connections, Arabic and English content and SEO. Then we train your team to run the store without a developer, and support it after launch.
A store on one platform, stock in another, accounts in a third and a customer list in each, so prices drift, orders oversell and the VAT return comes from exports.
One catalogue and one stock figure for store and sales desk, dealers and shoppers at their own prices, every payment posted to the books and marketing measured in revenue.
Store design and build, product data and image workflow, payments and couriers switched on with your own accounts, bilingual content, SEO setup, launch and training for your team.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our e-commerce development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.
Flow 01 B2C storefront Orders & stock Payments & couriers
Flow 02 B2B dealer portal Orders & stock Procurement

Explore e-tijariXQuestions, answered
Storefront design, product data and bilingual content, payment gateways and instalments, courier connections and own-fleet delivery, SEO and analytics, and customer accounts. The link to stock, pricing and accounts is the deciding part. On e-tijariX that link is built in; on Shopify or a custom front end it is an integration project.
Yes. e-tijariX runs one storefront where retail shoppers pay by card or instalments and verified dealers see their own prices, credit and approvals after online KYC onboarding. Quotes, orders, invoices and payments for both flow into the same stock and ledger, with marketing journeys that never promote out-of-stock items.
Yes, for catalogue-only brands. We customise themes, configure UAE payments and shipping, add apps, build Arabic content and migrate products and customers. When stock, dealer pricing or accounting must join the store, we recommend e-tijariX and can import an existing Shopify store through its Migration Centre.
e-tijariX is ready to connect to PayTabs, Network International N-Genius, Checkout.com, Telr and Stripe, with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Tabby and Tamara cover buy now, pay later. Each is switched on with your own merchant contract and keys, and every settlement is imported and matched in bank reconciliation.
Yes. The storefront, product content, emails, invoices and the admin screens work in Arabic and English with right-to-left layout, and AI search understands Arabic queries. Bilingual master data has a missing-translations report, so no product goes live with one language empty.
Yes. Online store development in the UAE is delivered from our one office in Dubai for brands and distributors in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE and the GCC. Couriers and payment gateways cover every emirate, and workshops and training run on site or remotely.
On e-tijariX there is no connection to build: an order reserves stock, dispatch releases it at cost, the payment posts to the ledger and the sale lands in the VAT return. See ERP for trading companies. For Shopify or custom stores, our integration team connects the store to your ERP through APIs.
