Setting up an online store in the UAE involves more than just picking a domain name. You're paying for hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, and often a payment gateway, plus design and development if you're not using a template. Ongoing costs include monthly platform fees, maintenance, marketing, and possibly hiring help. It's a mix of one-time setup and recurring expenses that can range from a few thousand dirhams for a basic site to tens of thousands for a fully customised shop.
