The service

Most SA online stores leak sales
at the checkout. We fix that.

South African shoppers are some of the most cart-abandoning in the world — slow load times, clunky payment forms and unclear shipping costs kill conversions before customers even get to checkout.

We design stores around the SA shopper: fast on mobile data, real local payment options, transparent shipping rates pulled live from The Courier Guy or Pargo, and a checkout that takes 3 fields instead of 12.

You get a store you can actually run yourself — not a system you have to phone us about every week.

Frequently asked

Questions South African business owners actually ask.

Still unsure? WhatsApp us at +27 82 490 8000 and we'll answer in plain English.

Which platform do you build SA online stores on?
+

WooCommerce on WordPress for most SMEs (you fully own everything, low ongoing fees, easy to extend), or Shopify when the client wants zero-maintenance hosting and built-in apps. We'll recommend the right one on our first call based on your products, volume and team size.

Can you integrate PayFast, Yoco and Peach Payments?
+

Yes — local SA gateways are standard on every store we build. PayFast, Yoco, Peach, Ozow and SnapScan are all supported. We also wire up Stripe and PayPal for international sales when needed.

Do you handle courier integrations like The Courier Guy and Pargo?
+

Yes. We integrate The Courier Guy, Pargo pickup points, Aramex and Postnet to give your customers real shipping rates at checkout. For larger stores we also wire up Bob Go (formerly uAfrica) for multi-courier rate shopping.

How much does an e-commerce site cost in South Africa?
+

Starter WooCommerce stores from R12,500. Most SA SME stores land between R18,000–R45,000 depending on product count, custom design and integrations. Shopify builds usually start around R15,000 plus the monthly Shopify fee.

Will my store be POPIA compliant?
+

Yes — we install consent banners, privacy notices, secure SSL, and configure your data handling around POPIA. We also help you draft a basic privacy & returns policy if you don't have one yet.

Do you help with product photography and copywriting?
+

We don't shoot products in-house but we have two trusted SA photographers we refer clients to in JHB and Cape Town. We help with product copy structure, SEO titles and category descriptions as part of every build.

Let's build the website your business deserves.
