Tip 1
Save client sizes in customer notes
Record each regular client's preferred length, fit and colors on her customer record, so whoever is on shift can pull the right piece when she messages.

Point of sale for Abu Dhabi boutiques
Abu Dhabi fashion retail leans on regular clients more than passing tourists: Emirati families, long-term residents and occasion wear for weddings and national events. BoutiquePOS keeps their history, sizes and preferences next to every sale.
Yes. BoutiquePOS works for Abu Dhabi boutiques, abaya shops and tailoring stores. It shows 5% VAT inside the price, prints Arabic and English receipts, tracks abayas and kanduras by length and size, keeps client purchase history for repeat families, and shares stock between your city-center shop and mall unit.

The Abu Dhabi clothing trade.
Abu Dhabi has a high share of Emirati shoppers and long-term residents, so boutiques here often run on relationships. A good atelier knows a client's abaya length, preferred fabric and the family wedding coming up, and much of the selling happens on WhatsApp before the client ever walks in.
Traditional and occasion wear matter more than in many cities. Abayas, kanduras, jalabiyas and kids' outfits for Eid and for National Day on 2 December are steady sellers, and many shops pair ready-made pieces with tailoring, which means tracking fabric, finished garments and alteration jobs in one place.
Stock tends to be spread between an older city shop on Hamdan Street or near Madinat Zayed and a newer mall unit, and owners need to move sizes between them quickly when a client asks for a length the other branch has.
Local setup tips
Set up for Abu Dhabi from day one.
Tip 2
Prepare for National Day
Create a category for National Day kids' wear and accessories and schedule a date-range discount around 2 December.
Tip 3
Track kanduras by size and length
Use length and collar style or color as variations, so ready-made kanduras are counted per exact combination rather than as one style total.
Tip 4
Use reward points for families
Loyalty points on every purchase bring whole families back each Eid, and the customer group lets you give relatives the same discount.

Boutique POS in Abu Dhabi: questions
Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp or the form, or search the help center.
Does BoutiquePOS work for abaya and kandura shops in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Use length, size and color as variations, so every combination gets its own SKU and barcode, and receipts print in Arabic and English.
Can I keep a client's measurements?
Yes. Customer records hold contact details, notes such as preferred length and fit, and full purchase history.
How is VAT shown?
Set 5% VAT as inclusive and the shelf price includes it, with the VAT amount shown on the receipt. Confirm invoice requirements with your tax adviser.
Can my Hamdan Street shop and mall unit share stock?
Yes. Both are locations on one catalog. Transfer pieces between them and see stock for each branch before promising a client.
Can I take orders on WhatsApp?
Yes. Check live stock by variation, then record the sale with the payment method used, such as bank transfer, card link or cash on delivery.
Can I record alteration charges?
Yes. Add alterations as a service product with its own price, so it appears on the receipt next to the garment.
Is it accredited for UAE e-invoicing?
No. We don't claim any accreditation. Ask your tax adviser which e-invoicing phase applies to your business.
Can I use it on a tablet at a pop-up or exhibition?
Yes. It runs in a browser on a tablet or laptop with an internet connection, and you can add the event as its own location.
