Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I get the discounts for?
Your discounts are valid for 12 months from the date of issue of your e-commerce trade licence.
For example, if you received your trade licence on 1 December 2021, your discounts will be valid until 1 December 2022.
How do I claim my discounts and benefits?
As a member of the AMP E-Commerce Accelerator Programme, you get access to our exclusive AMP Community Portal. Your log-in details will be provided to you once you have successfully joined our programme.
The AMP Community Portal is your one-stop access to your support crew. It shows you all the premium benefits you get as an AMP member. You can activate the benefits you want to claim through the portal, and our partners will then get in touch with you to start the claiming process.
Do I need to coordinate with each of the partners or will I have one point-of-contact from Virtuzone?
You can use the AMP Community Portal to access and activate your benefits via a single platform. Our partners will then contact you to facilitate the process.
As a Virtuzone client, you will also have a Dedicated Relationship Manager, who will assist you through every step of your journey.
What’s included in the AED 60,000 benefits?
What are the documents I need to apply for an e-commerce licence?
You only need a few documents to get started! These are:
- Passport copy
- Email address

You do need to have a company name ready to start your e-commerce business setup. If you need help coming up with a name for your business, you can refer to our guide here: Choosing a Company Name in the UAE.

However, as a Virtuzone client, you get to enjoy exclusive offers and discounts from our extensive partner programme even beyond year 1. View all our partners here.
