iPantry UAE — the iPantry store for the Emirates

Shopify Plus development for iPantry UAE, the Emirates edition of the iPantry grocery store. From 2023, first through The Natives and then directly, ForTech took on monthly requests for it alongside iPantry Australia, keeping the two storefronts consistent until both became the global iPantry store (ipantry.com).

iPantry UAE / 2023–2025

The UAE store has since merged into the global iPantry store (ipantry.com). The image recreates its storefront, which shared the iPantry layout, with products from the iPantry range and indicative prices.

PROJECT STORY

From problem to product

  1. 01

    The challenge

    iPantry ran a separate Shopify Plus store for the UAE with its own currency, catalogue and customers, but the same brand and storefront as iPantry Australia. Improvements had to reach both markets without the stores drifting apart.

  2. 02

    What we built

    The UAE store was simpler than Australia’s, with no location-based rules or smart search. ForTech developed features and fixes on request, improved the UI/UX and page speed, supported delivery and pickup on the store’s delivery app, and carried shared improvements over from the Australian store so both stayed on the same foundation.

  3. 03

    What the website enabled

    Shoppers in the UAE got the same iPantry experience as in Australia, and both stores shared one foundation when they were combined into the global iPantry store (ipantry.com).
