Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an e-commerce store cost in South Africa?
Online stores run R10,000–R25,000+ depending on catalogue size and complexity. That includes South African payment gateway integration, cart and checkout, inventory management, SEO-optimised product pages, and 6 months hosting. Quotes are fixed, so the number does not move mid-project.
Which South African payment gateways do you integrate?
We integrate PayFast, Yoco, Ozow, and Peach Payments. Which one suits you depends on your transaction volumes, fee structure, and whether you need instant EFT alongside card payments. We will talk through the trade-offs rather than defaulting to whichever is quickest for us to wire up.
Why do fast load times matter so much for an online store?
Because South African shoppers are mostly on mobile data, and every extra second of load time costs conversions. We build on Next.js and score 90–100 on Google Lighthouse, versus 40–70 for a typical WordPress and WooCommerce store. That gap shows up directly in completed checkouts.
How do you reduce mobile checkout abandonment?
We shorten the checkout to the fewest steps that still capture what you need, keep the cart visible, support guest checkout, and make payment options obvious before the final screen. Most abandonment comes from surprise costs and slow forms, so we address both directly.
Will my products show up in Google Shopping and search?
Yes. We build product pages with proper Product schema markup, including price, availability, and reviews, which is what Google Shopping and AI search engines read. Each product gets a unique title, description, and image set rather than duplicated manufacturer copy.
