According to a Dubai Chamber of Commerce analysis, the UAE’s e-commerce market is forecast to reach $9.2 billion in 2026.
This huge growth is attributed by the study to the rising demand for online shopping, and steady investment flows in the sector’s infrastructure, with the Covid-19 pandemic playing a key role in hastening the shift to digital payments and online shopping in UAE.
The above data, along with the UAE’s encouraging economic environment that supports startup businesses and SMEs, gives you all the reasons to start your e-commerce company in Dubai, UAE, and put your plans of business setup in Sharjah into effect, specifically on one of the main online shopping sites in UAE, noon.com
However, there are several requirements to become a noon seller. Read on to know more about them.
Steps of Becoming a Noon Seller
Being a seller on noon requires two main prerequisites, owning a valid trade license, and being a registered company in the UAE, KSA, or Egypt.
The process of becoming a noon seller is quite simple. First, you need to create a noon customer account and then set up a seller account on the “Sellers Lab”.
Noon’s “Sellers Lab” is a section on Noon that supports sellers in managing their products and optimizing listings for enhancing visibility, as well as processing orders efficiently. The Seller Lab also provides useful market insights and tutorials and serves as a platform for sellers to connect and share experiences.
If you already have a trade license, you can directly create your noon seller account by submitting the required documents and paying the noon seller fees.
There are several simple steps for obtaining an e-commerce license in Dubai, UAE. Although, business setup in Dubai, UAE, or Sharjah is relatively easy, working with a business setup company with extensive experiences, like SPC Free Zone, will make this process even easier with minimal delays.

Noon seller fees
Noon charges seller fees for using their platform. The fees vary based on the type of product and category. It is important to review and understand the fee structure before starting to sell on noon.
Choosing Your Selling Model
Noon provides two options for the fulfillment of your orders and you can choose one of them, or both as long as you keep a separate inventory for each. These options are:
- Fulfilled by noon (FBN), also known as noon Express
This model allows you to store your products in noon’s fulfillment centers. In this model, noon will manage your inventory and customer orders, shipping orders directly to customers on your behalf, as well as taking care of customer queries and returns.
- Fulfilled by Partner (FBP)
This model allows you to keep your inventory in your location. Once you receive an order, you prepare the item for shipping and hand it over to noon’s logistics.
