Luxury Fashion Brand — Shopify Plus Migration
Problem
A Dubai-based luxury fashion brand was struggling with a slow, generic Shopify theme that did not reflect their premium positioning. Mobile conversion rate was below 1%, and the checkout experience could not support their loyalty programme.
Solution
CyberSpeed designed a custom, premium Shopify Plus theme with advanced product filtering, Arabic/English RTL support, and a fully customised checkout flow. We integrated Tabby for Buy Now Pay Later, optimised for Core Web Vitals, and set up Klaviyo for automated email flows.
Results
Revenue grew by 220% within 6 months. Mobile conversion rate reached 3.8%. PageSpeed score improved from 35 to 97 on mobile. The custom checkout increased average order value by 24% through upsell recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Shopify or build a custom ecommerce website?
Shopify is ideal for most businesses — it offers a reliable, hosted platform with built-in payment processing, security, and a vast app ecosystem. Custom ecommerce makes sense if you need highly unique functionality that Shopify cannot support. For Dubai merchants, Shopify's multi-currency, local payment support, and scalability make it the preferred choice for most use cases. We can advise during a consultation.
How much does Shopify development cost in Dubai?
Our packages start at AED 8,000 for basic store setup and go up to AED 50,000+ for Shopify Plus enterprise solutions. Costs vary based on custom theme complexity, product volume, integrations, and migration requirements. Note that Shopify also charges a monthly subscription fee (starting at USD 24/month for Basic).
How long does it take to launch a Shopify store?
A basic store setup with a premium theme takes approximately 2 weeks. A custom-built Shopify store with unique theme development, SEO, and integrations typically takes 4-6 weeks. Shopify Plus migrations with headless architecture can take 6-8 weeks. We optimise timelines based on your launch urgency.
What ongoing costs should I expect with Shopify?
Beyond our development fees, you will pay Shopify's monthly subscription (USD 24-2,300 depending on plan), payment processing fees (2-3% per transaction), app subscriptions (typically USD 10-100/month each), and optionally our monthly maintenance retainer for ongoing optimisation.
What are the benefits of Shopify Plus?
Shopify Plus provides advanced checkout customisation (Shopify Scripts), lower transaction fees, unlimited staff accounts, B2B wholesale channels, Launchpad for sale automation, Shopify Flow for process automation, and dedicated 24/7 priority support. It is recommended for stores generating AED 2M+ in annual revenue.
