It depends on your scale and nationality:

E-trader license: Best for solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and home-based sellers promoting via social media. It does not allow you to hire staff or rent a warehouse and has restrictions for non-GCC nationals regarding selling physical goods.
E-Commerce trade license: Required if you plan to build a scalable business, import goods, rent a warehouse, or hire employees. This can be set up in a Free Zone (like Dubai CommerCity or Dubai South) or on the Mainland.
