FAQs · United Arab Emirates

Common questions from Emirati founders.

Do you work with Emirati clients?

Yes — a meaningful share of my retainer and project work is with United Arab Emirates-based clients across DTC, B2B, and editorial verticals. 9am–6pm GST callable.

What does a Shopify build for a Emirati brand cost?

A senior independent Shopify build typically runs $15,000–$50,000 USD (AED equivalent at current rates), depending on scope. Stock theme setups cost less. Shopify Plus migrations run higher.

Can you handle AED payment processing?

Yes. Shopify Payments, Stripe, and regional gateways. For United Arab Emirates-specific regional payment methods, I work with the provider that best fits the merchant.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes — retainer engagements start at 10 hours/month and scale up. Most clients move to retainer after launch for continued CRO, speed, and feature work.

How do invoicing and contracts work for United Arab Emirates?

Contracts in USD with standard MSA + SOW structure. Payment via Wise, Stripe, or bank transfer in your local currency at conversion. Invoices monthly for retainers, milestone-based for projects.
