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.
Being a seller on noon requires two main prerequisites:
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.
