Shopify Stores Designed, Built and Set Up for Your Business
Shopify is a hosted ecommerce platform. Hosting, security updates and the checkout are managed by Shopify, while you pay a monthly plan and run products and orders through its admin. It suits businesses that want to sell online without maintaining their own servers.
NXP Technologies designs and develops Shopify stores for businesses in Dubai and across the UAE, from theme design and product set-up to apps, integrations and migration from another platform. The work is agreed in a written scope before the build starts.

Is Shopify the Right Platform for You?
Shopify works well when you want a reliable hosted store, a straightforward admin for your team and access to a large range of apps. Most standard retail requirements can be met with a theme and a small number of apps.
Another platform may suit you better if you need highly custom B2B ordering rules, want to host the store and its data yourself, or run a content-heavy site where the store is one part. In those cases compare WooCommerce, Magento or a custom build on our ecommerce development page.

FAQ
Shopify Development Questions
How much does a Shopify store cost in Dubai?
It depends on design work, the number of products, apps and integrations, and whether data is migrated. We quote against a written scope; Shopify plan and app fees are paid separately to Shopify and app providers.
Who owns the Shopify store?
We recommend that the store is created under your own Shopify account so it belongs to your business from the start, with our team given access to build it.
Can you move my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. Products, customers and order history can usually be migrated, and old URLs are redirected to their new pages to protect existing search visibility.
Can Shopify connect to our accounting or ERP system?
Often yes, through an existing connector app or a custom integration using Shopify’s API. We review your system before confirming the approach.
Can you customise our current Shopify theme?
Yes. We can adjust layouts, sections and styling in an existing theme, or design a new theme if the current one limits what you need.
Do you support the store after launch?
Changes, fixes and new features can be provided under an agreed support plan that sets out what is covered.
