What we build
Shopify development services, end to end.
From a first e-commerce store to Shopify Plus, our e-commerce development covers design, code, apps, integration and launch, with SEO planned from the start.
- 01
Custom Shopify theme development
A theme built around your brand and best sellers, not a template everyone else in your niche uses.
- 02
Plus and enterprise
Checkout extensibility, B2B pricing, Shopify Functions and multi-store setups for brands at scale.
- 03
Shopify apps and custom apps
The right apps from the Shopify App Store, fewer of them, and custom apps when nothing off the shelf fits.
- 04
Migrations to Shopify
From WooCommerce and Magento or BigCommerce, with products, customers, orders and SEO carried over.
- 05
Shopify Markets
Currencies, prices, languages and domains for every country you sell to, from one Shopify store.
- 06
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Fast collection and product pages on phones, with app and theme code cleaned up.
- 07
Checkout and CRO
Fewer steps, clearer delivery dates and trust signals that cut cart abandonment and improve conversions.
- 08
Integrations
Payment gateways, inventory, 3PL and catalogue feeds connected, with feature integration tested end to end.
Build options
Theme, custom, Plus or headless?
The right Shopify build depends on your range, your markets and your budget. Here is how the four options compare.
| Option | Best for | Typical timeline | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theme customization | New brands testing demand | 2–4 weeks | Fast and affordable, limited uniqueness |
| Custom theme | Brands with a clear identity and range | 6–8 weeks | Unique design, full control of speed and SEO |
| Plus build | High volume, B2B or several markets | 8–12 weeks | Checkout extensibility and automation |
| Headless (Hydrogen) | Unique experiences and top speed | 10–16 weeks | Most freedom, needs ongoing developer support |
Speed
Most slow Shopify stores have an app problem.
Every app adds scripts to every page. We remove what you do not need, rebuild the rest into the theme and keep load times low for mobile users, where most orders happen. Speed optimization starts there.
Mobile-first design, responsiveness on every screen size and Core Web Vitals checked before launch.
Typical app clean-upIllustrative
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Apps installed | 14 | 6 |
| Mobile LCP | 3.8 s | 1.7 s |
| Theme JavaScript | 410 KB | 120 KB |
| Checkout steps | 4 | 2 |
Integrations
Payments, inventory and catalogue, connected.
Your providers run the services. We build the store so they connect seamlessly and the whole order flow is tested before launch.
ERP and inventory
Stock, orders and invoices synced with your back office so nothing is typed twice.
Product data
Variants, metafields and feeds for Google Merchant Center and marketplaces, structured once and reused everywhere.
Couriers and 3PL
Shipping rates, duties and tracking pulled into the store from the partners you choose.
Why Qube
Shopify stores built to sell, not just to launch.
A Shopify ecommerce development company in Dubai, working with founders who sell worldwide.
The default choice for Dubai brands in 2026.
Dubai’s ecommerce market keeps growing, and most founders here sell well beyond the UAE. Platforms like Shopify make that simple: Shopify's Markets handles currencies, duties and domains, and the platform scales from a first order to enterprise volume. It is the ecommerce platform most founders here choose.
One team of developers, designers and SEO specialists.
We build Shopify stores for every stage, from online store development for a new range to bespoke work for brands on Plus. Every web developer on the team works to your business goals and your customer experience, with conversion work built into each template. This is ecommerce website development with SEO in the brief from day one, and we are not a digital marketing agency selling ads.
Choosing between Shopify development companies.
A search for “Shopify development Dubai” returns many Shopify experts in Dubai. The best Shopify partner for your business in Dubai is the one that can prove it. If Plus matters to you, ask whether they are an official Shopify Plus partner, and ask to see their work either way.
- Can they show Shopify stores they built?Ask for live Shopify ecommerce stores you can open on your phone, not only design files.
- Do they understand speed?A Shopify developer should talk about apps, theme code and page speed before colours.
- Will they plan SEO and migration?Moving platforms without a redirect plan is the fastest way to lose Google traffic.
- Is it a full team or one freelancer?Design, development, SEO and conversion need different skills. Ask who does each.

Book your free strategy callHow much does Shopify development cost in Dubai?
It depends on whether you need a customised theme, a custom theme or a Plus build, and on your apps and integrations. We give a fixed price after a 30-minute scoping call, so you know the full cost before we start.
How long does Shopify website development take?
A customised theme takes two to four weeks. A custom build usually takes six to eight weeks, and Plus or headless builds take longer.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
Only if you need checkout customisation, B2B pricing, automation at volume or several stores. Most brands start on a standard plan and move up when the numbers justify it.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify?
Yes. We move stores from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce and custom platforms, with products, customers, orders and redirects, so rankings are kept.
Can you add Tabby, Klarna or other payment options?
Yes, if the provider supports your markets. You open the account with the provider; we connect it to the store and test the checkout.
Do you work with brands outside Dubai?
Yes. We work with founders in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and with brands across the UAE that sell worldwide.
Will my Shopify store rank on Google?
It launches with SEO built in: clean collections, structured data and fast pages. Our ecommerce SEO services keep it climbing after launch.
