Four stages. Nothing skipped.

The same real process for every store, from a small catalogue to a full-scale build.

Stage 01 · Kickoff call + goals

Foundation

A real conversation about what you sell, who buys it, and how payment and delivery should work.

02
Stage 02 · Catalogue + checkout

Structure

Products, categories, and checkout built and tested so nothing breaks between browsing and buying.

Stage 03 · Setup + go live

Domain & Launch

Domain, hosting, and payment gateway set up and tested with real transactions, then launch.

04
Stage 04 · Ongoing care + updates

Growth

Optional ongoing care: security, updates, and support as your catalogue grows.

On timing: a small store with a limited catalogue can launch in a few weeks. Larger stores, custom integrations, and subscription setups take longer. We'll give you an estimated delivery time upfront once we understand your full scope, so you're never guessing.

Real questions, answered plainly.

Whichever suits your business, PayFast and Yoco are common choices for South African stores. We'll recommend the right one and handle the full setup.

Ecommerce development builds vary a lot in complexity, so pricing is quoted once we understand what you're selling and how. Get in touch and we'll give you a straight answer.

Yes. Digital downloads, bookings, and physical products can all be set up, sometimes in the same store.

We build the store and set up stock tracking and shipping options, but managing inventory and fulfilling orders day to day stays with you. We'll walk you through how it all works before launch.

Longer than a standard website, since product setup and payment testing take real time. A small catalogue can launch in a few weeks, larger stores take longer. We'll give you an estimated timeline once we understand your scope.

Every store gets basic security hardening and a tested checkout built on established payment gateways, so card details never pass through our own servers. For higher-risk or high-volume stores, we can scope stronger security as part of a custom build.

Let's scope your store properly.

Tell us what you're selling, and we'll give you a clear plan, a payment setup that works, and an estimated timeline.
