Our Dubai-based Shopify experts build optimized themes, UAE-localized product pages, and checkout flows engineered for the specific expectations of Gulf market buyers.

FAQs
01
Do you provide Shopify development services specifically configured for the UAE market?
Yes. Every COLAB DXB Shopify build includes Arabic RTL layout, UAE VAT configuration, Tabby/Tamara BNPL integration, Aramex/PostaPlus shipping, and AED currency setup as standard.
02
Why do Arabic RTL layouts break on standard Shopify themes?
Standard Shopify themes use LTR CSS without logical properties. Our Shopify expert Dubai team rebuilds RTL layouts using dir=”rtl” and CSS logical properties at component level, not translation plugins.
03
How do you configure UAE VAT correctly on Shopify?
We configure inclusive VAT display, correct AED rounding behavior, and FTA-compliant tax line itemization on receipts, within Shopify’s native tax engine rather than third-party apps that add overhead.
04
What is the correct way to integrate Tabby and Tamara on Shopify?
Correct integration shows eligibility-based installment pricing on PDPs and cart pages, validates at checkout, and maps order status back to Shopify’s order management, not just a payment logo in the footer.
05
How do you connect Aramex or PostaPlus to Shopify for UAE delivery?
We configure emirate-level shipping zones, COD payment options by zone, and Aramex/PostaPlus webhook connections for real-time tracking, handling PO Box address structures correctly for UAE delivery.
