E-commerce Mobile Apps
E-commerce app development in Dubai: shopping apps that bring customers back.
Alkhudari Group is an e-commerce app development company in Dubai. We build shopping apps for iPhone and Android that turn one-time buyers into loyal customers, connected to your online store, stock and payments.
A website wins the first order. An app wins the next ten. With your brand on the customer's home screen, push notifications for offers and restocks, saved carts and one-tap checkout, repeat customers buy more often and with less effort.
We build e-commerce apps with Flutter or native Swift and Kotlin, share one backend with your website, and support Arabic right-to-left layout, Apple Pay and the buy-now-pay-later options UAE shoppers use.
Who it's for
- Online stores with repeat customers
- Retail brands with physical branches
- Marketplaces and delivery businesses
- Shopify or WooCommerce stores that want an app

The guide
Why an e-commerce app, not just a website
Websites are best for being found. Apps are best for coming back. An app keeps your brand one tap away, remembers the customer's details and lets you reach them directly with push notifications instead of paying for ads every time.
That is why many stores launch the website first to win new customers, then add an app to grow repeat orders and lifetime value.
Features that increase sales
The features that pay for themselves are simple: fast search in Arabic and English, a wishlist, one-tap checkout with Apple Pay, abandoned cart reminders, back-in-stock alerts and loyalty points.
We also build personalised home screens and AI product recommendations, so each shopper sees what they are most likely to buy.
One backend for your website and app
Your app and website share the same products, prices, stock, customers and orders, so there is nothing to update twice. It works with a custom store or with Shopify and WooCommerce.
Payments, customer data and APIs are secured to the same standard as banking apps, designed around the UAE Personal Data Protection Law.
E-commerce app development cost in Dubai
The cost of an e-commerce app depends on three things: whether it connects to an existing store or needs its own backend, how many features launch in the first version (loyalty, live chat, multi-vendor, delivery tracking), and whether you need iPhone, Android or both.
We keep it predictable: after a short discovery call you receive a fixed quote and timeline in writing. Most stores start with a focused first version and add features once real customers are using the app.
Mobile apps for Shopify and WooCommerce stores
Already selling on Shopify or WooCommerce? We build a native shopping app on top of your store, so products, prices, stock and orders stay in one place and nothing is updated twice.
Your customers get a faster, branded experience with push notifications and one-tap checkout, while your team keeps managing everything from the store dashboard it already knows.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an e-commerce app cost in Dubai?
It depends on features, integrations and whether we connect to an existing store. After a discovery call we send a fixed quote with a clear scope.
How long does it take to build a shopping app?
A focused shopping app connected to an existing store usually takes 8 to 12 weeks from approved design to store launch.
Can the app connect to my Shopify or WooCommerce store?
Yes. The app can use your existing store's products, customers and orders, so you manage everything in one place.
Do I need an app if I already have a website?
If you have repeat customers, yes: apps increase repeat purchases through push notifications, saved details and faster checkout. If you are just starting, launch the website first.
Which payments can the app accept?
Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved cards through UAE gateways, Tabby, Tamara and cash on delivery.
Will the app support Arabic?
Yes. Full right-to-left layout, Arabic typography and content, with language switching inside the app.
Do you publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the listings, handle review and publish under your own developer accounts.
How do push notifications increase sales?
They bring shoppers back at the right moment: abandoned cart reminders, price drops, back-in-stock alerts and personalised offers.
