The UAE's online tennis store, with express delivery across Dubai

Apoliums built and runs TennisShop.ae, an online store for tennis, padel and pickleball gear in the UAE, with cash on delivery, express delivery within Dubai, returns and exchanges, and a catalogue that spans rackets, shoes, apparel and outlet stock.

What was the problem?

A specialist sports retailer competes with marketplaces on delivery speed and with brand stores on range. The shop needed a catalogue deep enough for a club player choosing between racket weights and a checkout fast enough for someone who broke a string the night before a match.

  • Thousands of variants across brands, sizes and string tensions have to be filterable without a search that returns nothing.
  • UAE buyers expect cash on delivery, same-day options inside Dubai and simple returns.
  • Padel and pickleball grew alongside tennis and needed their own departments without a second store.
  • Promotions, outlet stock and brand campaigns change weekly and are managed by the shop, not by developers.

How Apoliums approached it.

Run the store on a hosted commerce platform, customise the storefront around how a player shops, and keep merchandising in the shop's own hands.

  1. Departments by sport and by player

    Men, women, juniors, shoes and accessories sit alongside tennis, padel and pickleball, so a visitor can enter by who they are or what they play.

  2. Checkout for the UAE

    Cash on delivery, express delivery within Dubai and a priority UAE window of 24 to 48 hours are stated up front, with two-day returns and exchanges.

  3. Merchandising without a developer

    Hero campaigns, outlet and brand pages are managed from the platform admin, so a weekend sale does not need a deploy.

What was delivered.

  • Storefront on a hosted commerce platform with custom theme
  • Departments for tennis, padel and pickleball across men, women and juniors
  • Cash on delivery and express Dubai delivery at checkout
  • Brand, outlet and services pages managed by the shop
  • Wishlist, accounts and order tracking

What changed after launch.

A specialist shop with the delivery promise of a marketplace and a range a club player can actually use.

  • Live at tennisshop.ae, shipping across the UAE with express delivery in Dubai.

  • Three sports and every player category on one store, managed by the retailer's own team.

  • Cash on delivery and two-day exchanges are on the page before the visitor asks.

More from the same shelf.
