e-Trader License in Dubai to conduct business activities on social networking sites

Department of Economic Development (DED), Dubai, launched ‘e-Trader,’ a first-of-its-kind initiative in the region, which will allow Emiratis and GCC citizens in Dubai to conduct business activities on social networking sites. The initiative is part of enhancing transparency and regulating the practice of offering products and services for sale on social media.

The e-Trader license can be registered under the name of a single owner only and the owner must be an Emirati or GCC citizen aged 18 or above and residing in Dubai. The e-Trader cannot open a shop or issue visas and in case of a legal dispute, the licensee alone will be held responsible.

The e-Trader license offers varied privileges to the merchant, most notably a detailed user feedback and observations on the merchant’s products and services.

Those who wish to obtain an e-Trader license can complete the registration by visiting the site www.etradr.ae and entering their details, such as proof of identity, type of business activity and the account through which products and services will be displayed. Once the entries are validated and payment completed, the license will be electronically issued. read more

License Fee: Dh1070 per year.
