Where we work · UAE
Bilingual by default, not by plugin. Cash on delivery treated as a real payment method. Instalments where they lift order value. And delivery promises that match what couriers can actually do across the emirates.
Usually because they were built somewhere else and localised afterwards. Arabic gets bolted on as a translation layer, so the layout never mirrors properly and Arabic-first customers read a store that feels secondhand. Cash on delivery gets treated as a nuisance rather than designed for. Instalment providers are missing at exactly the price points where they change the decision.
We build the other way round. Bilingual English and Arabic with genuine right-to-left layout, a payment mix that includes cards, COD, wallets and instalments, and courier rules based on real serviceability by emirate.
Our Dubai hub covers the UAE and the wider Gulf, and the same foundations have carried storefronts into Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and further afield into Europe, North America and Australia.

How a UAE build runs
Six to fourteen weeks for a full build, less where a regional template already exists.
Storefront, payment mix, COD performance, courier serviceability and unit economics reviewed. Two weeks to written findings.
Bilingual content model, RTL component behaviour, per-country pricing and tax decided before build rather than retrofitted.
Storefront, Gulf payment gateways, instalment providers, courier APIs and ERP integration, in two-week sprints with working demos.
Staged launch with live payment testing, delivery promise verification and clean analytics from the first order.
Arabic and English SEO, paid media, retention and CRO run against contribution margin and charged as a percentage of incremental revenue.
Why Globosoft
Reasons that hold whichever part of the 360° engagement you start with, and every one of them is something you can check before you commit.
Verified on the Shopify Partner Directory, with more than 100 Shopify ecommerce projects delivered for India, the UAE and beyond. We also build on WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, OpenCart, headless and fully custom stacks when Shopify is not the right answer.
Consulting, design, engineering, integration and performance marketing report into a single roadmap. No handover gaps between a consultant, a developer and a marketing agency.
The growth engagement is an agreed percentage of the incremental sales we create above a signed baseline, not a recurring retainer that arrives whether you grew or not.
Sixty-plus people in our own offices in Kochi and Dubai, not a subcontracted network. Sixteen years in the industry and more than 400 projects delivered, from first-time startups to international brands, in India, the Gulf, Africa, Europe, North America and Australia.
Globosoft works as a growth partner, not a monthly line item. We agree a baseline, build and market your ecommerce, and take an agreed share of the incremental sales that follow. If your revenue does not move, our fee does not either.
The usual agency deal
The Globosoft growth-share deal
No open-ended monthly fee for the growth engagement. The commercial deal is tied to sales, not to calendar months.
An agreed percentage of the incremental revenue we generate, measured against a baseline we both sign off before work starts.
Everyone in the room is paid by the same number: the revenue and contribution margin your store produces.
Questions
The questions that come up most often in the first conversation.
Judge on whether they audit before proposing, report contribution rather than platform ROAS, build Arabic properly rather than as a translation layer, know the local payment and courier reality, and tie their fee to your sales. Globosoft is a Premium Shopify Partner with more than 100 Shopify projects delivered, working from Dubai and Kochi across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and India.
Yes, bilingual English and Arabic storefronts with genuine right-to-left layout, mirrored components, correct numeral handling and content workflows that keep both languages current. Translation apps alone produce a store that reads as translated, which measurably underperforms with Arabic-first customers.
Telr, Network International and N-Genius, Checkout.com, PayTabs, Amazon Payment Services, Tap Payments, MyFatoorah and Stripe, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Tabby, Tamara and Postpay cover instalments, and Mada matters when you sell into Saudi Arabia. Cash on delivery is designed in with verification and risk handling rather than simply enabled.
Yes, and it is usually the right structure. A single storefront can serve the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar with per-country pricing, shipping thresholds and delivery expectations. It is far cheaper to run than six separate stores, and improvements made once apply everywhere.
Six to fourteen weeks for a full build, depending on catalogue size and integration count. Where a regional template already exists (as with our Gulf luggage storefronts) additional markets launch considerably faster because the catalogue model and components are reused.
