Arabic RTL, Not Bolt-On.

We theme right-to-left as the default for UAE builds — not as a translation layer over an LTR theme. Mirrored layout, Arabic-native fonts (29LT, IBM Plex Arabic, Cairo, Tajawal), RTL-aware sliders and drawers, Arabic-localized checkout fields, Arabic Klaviyo flows, Arabic WhatsApp templates. Language switcher with hreflang for SEO. Most builds run EN-primary + AR-secondary, but we'll flip the default if your buyer is AR-primary.

Mirrored Layout

Flexbox, grid, scroll directions all RTL-aware. No broken alignment.

Arabic Fonts

29LT, IBM Plex Arabic, Cairo, Tajawal — not Noto fallback.

Localized Checkout

AR field labels, AR error messages, AR confirmation emails.

SEO Multilingual

hreflang tags, /ar/ subpath, AR meta descriptions, AR alt text.

UAE-Brand Questions

Don't see your question? Drop us a note →

Yes — bilingual EN / AR with full right-to-left (RTL) layout is our default for UAE brands. We theme RTL natively, not as an afterthought: mirrored layout, Arabic fonts (29LT, IBM Plex Arabic, Cairo), RTL-aware components (sliders, cart drawer, mega menu), Arabic checkout fields, Arabic-language Klaviyo flows, Arabic WhatsApp templates. Language switcher in header, hreflang tags for SEO. The most common build is EN-primary + AR secondary, but AR-primary works equally well for niche brands. We've shipped 80+ Shopify stores.
Full UAE payment stack: (1) Tabby and Tamara for buy-now-pay-later (massive in UAE D2C — lifts AOV 40-50 percent on premium SKUs), (2) Cashew BNPL, (3) Telr, Network International, PayTabs, MagnatiPay for card processing, (4) Stripe (where available), (5) Apple Pay (huge in UAE), Google Pay, Samsung Pay, (6) Cards via Shopify Payments where supported. COD: still ~30 percent of UAE D2C orders, we configure with OTP verification to cut RTO. Subscription brands: Stripe + Recharge with AED billing. PayPal Express also supported.
VAT: UAE has 5% standard VAT. We configure auto-calculation with FTA-compliant invoice format — TRN on invoice, tax breakdown by line item, AED currency, English + Arabic invoice option. Free Zones (DMCC, JAFZA, etc.) handled separately with 0% rate where applicable. E-invoicing: We integrate with Zoho Books, Tally, or QuickBooks UAE for FTA submission. Designated Zones for VAT-free entry handled correctly. All builds ship FTA Article 59 compliant.
Full UAE carrier stack: Aramex (most common D2C), Fetchr, DHL Express UAE, Talabat (rapid delivery), Quiqup, Smart Box, Emirates Post. Cross-border GCC: Aramex GCC, Naqel KSA, SMSA. Real-time rate quoting at checkout. Same-day Dubai / Abu Dhabi delivery via Quiqup or in-house fleet integration. Branded tracking via AfterShip / Wonderment. COD pickup workflows configured. Pre-paid returns labels via Aramex.
Yes — across all 7 emirates. Our team works with UAE founders, free-zone-registered companies (DMCC, DIFC, JAFZA, RAKEZ), and mainland LLCs. Time zone is identical — GST and IST are only 1.5 hours apart, so our day overlaps yours almost entirely. We meet on Zoom / Google Meet / Teams during your business hours (9am-6pm Gulf time / 10:30am-7:30pm IST). For payment, we accept AED via wire transfer, USD via wire transfer, or INR via Razorpay.
