Selling online in Sharjah

Close enough to Dubai to share a market, far enough that the road between them decides your delivery day.

What is different here

Selling into Sharjah, specifically

SHAMS is the cheapest well-known free zone

Published starting figures around AED 5,750 a year make it the usual entry point for a free zone licence. The same caveat applies as anywhere: a free zone licence does not by itself permit direct sales to mainland consumers.

The Dubai corridor is a scheduling problem

A rider covering both emirates in one run needs the route planned around when that road actually moves, not around distance. Peak-hour Sharjah–Dubai is not a distance calculation.

Click-and-collect works unusually well

A large number of Sharjah residents commute into Dubai daily. Collection from a Dubai branch on the way home beats any delivery slot on speed and cost, and most platforms treat it as an afterthought.

Dense residential, good for own delivery

Al Nahda, Al Majaz and Muwaileh are dense enough that your own rider is often cheaper than a courier inside the emirate.

If you have a branch in Dubai and customers in Sharjah, collection is the option worth setting up properly. How multi-branch and click-and-collect work →

Licensing authority

Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD)

A mainland licence lets you sell to customers across the UAE. A free zone licence does not, by itself, permit direct sales to mainland consumers — the difference matters.
