Figma to Shopify for the UAE

Figma as Shopify sections UAE merchandisers can run — not a homepage that only matches the desktop artboard.

We implement Figma storefronts as Online Store 2.0 for UAE brands: collection, PDP, and campaign modules as sections. Remote QA against the file. Checkout remains a Shopify surface — we say that before Liquid starts.

01 — What we build

What this engagement covers

  1. 01

    Section inventory

    What is a section versus a one-off template.

  2. 02

    OS 2.0 implementation

    Merchandisers can populate without a developer for every tile.

  3. 03

    PDP QA

    Long titles, Arabic length if in scope, empty states.

02 — What's included

In a typical statement of work

  • Figma commerce audit
  • Section and template map
  • Shopify theme implementation
  • QA against the design file
  • PDP performance budget
  • Launch against GST

03 — Process

How the work actually runs

  1. 01

    Market and language

    Which emirates you sell into, English/Arabic needs, and who merchandises. Remote delivery is explicit — we do not claim a Dubai office.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Templates, catalog or CMS, and RTL if the site is bilingual. Payments, shipping, and VAT are your commercial setup; we implement what you already use.

  3. 03

    Build

    Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, or WooCommerce as scoped. Media-heavy luxury and jewellery templates get a performance budget, not a film that cannot sell.

  4. 04

    Launch against your clock

    Cutover planned around Gulf Standard Time overlap, with redirects and analytics on the paths that matter.

05 — Why Weblexia

How we partner on this work

  • 01

    UAE delivery without a pretend office

    We work with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and wider UAE teams over GST overlap. weblexia.in is the studio — not a Business Bay mailbox.

  • 02

    Bilingual when it is real

    RTL and dual-language templates when you have Arabic copy and an owner for it. A language switcher with empty strings is not localisation.

  • 03

    Luxury and commerce as one system

    Jewellery, fashion, and hospitality sites still need catalogs, booking, or inquiry that work. Motion does not replace checkout or forms.

  • 04

    VAT and payments are yours

    We implement the gateways and tax plugins you already use. We do not give UAE tax advice or invent a TRN on the site.

09 — FAQs

Questions we are asked before a proposal

Are you based in the UAE?

No. Weblexia is a remote studio at weblexia.in. We work with the UAE teams over overlap hours, written scope, and a senior lead. If you require staff in-country every week, we are not the right fit — we will say that in the first conversation.

Will checkout match Figma?

Only within Shopify checkout and Plus extensibility. Pixel-perfect custom checkout is often not possible.

Jewellery and fashion Figma files?

Yes — those catalogs have sharper PDPs. See jewellery and fashion UAE pages for category constraints; implementation can still be this engagement.

Next step

Discuss your Figma to Shopify build with the team that ships it.

Share the current site, the Figma file, or the outcome you need. A senior lead replies with a realistic path — discovery, a scoped build, or a clear decline if a local on-site team is what you actually need.
