Working with us

What can you expect when we build your online store?

Starting an online business can feel like a big step. Here’s how we help you along the way.

Can you help me start my online store?

Yes. We build online stores for South African businesses and help you get ready to sell. We set up your store, upload the agreed number of products and show you how to manage it.

Will you keep me updated while my store is being built?

Yes. We’ll keep in touch during the project and let you know if we need anything from you. If you have a question along the way, you’re welcome to contact us.

How will you make sure my store suits my business?

We start by learning about your business, your products and the kind of look you like. We can share example layouts with you so we can agree on a direction for your store.

What if I’m not sure what I need?

That’s okay. Tell us about your idea and what you would like to sell. We’ll help you understand the options and choose a suitable starting point. We can also chat remotely using Microsoft Teams or another agreed platform.

Who looks after my website after it launches?

Our managed hosting service helps look after your website’s hosting, software updates and maintenance. We’ll explain what is included in your package and the options available after the first year.

How long does it take to build my online store?

Our 30-product starter store can be completed in approximately 5 working days after we receive all your required products, images and business details. Larger or custom stores may take longer.

How do I market my eCommerce website to local customers?

To reach local customers in South Africa, start with these four practical strategies:

  1. Focus on local SEO: Include relevant city or area names in your website content where they make sense. If your business is eligible, set up a Google Business Profile.
  2. Target your ads locally: Use location targeting in Google and social media ads to reach customers in the areas you serve.
  3. Offer convenient delivery or collection: Consider local courier delivery or click-and-collect where it suits your business. Make your delivery times and costs clear to customers.
  4. Build local trust: Offer customer support through WhatsApp, share genuine reviews and consider partnering with local creators or businesses.

Need help with local Google or Meta ads? Get in touch with us today to discuss your business, advertising options and budget.

What are the legal requirements for running an eCommerce website in South Africa?

South African online stores need to consider the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA), the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and applicable SARS tax requirements.

Your website should provide your business and contact details, a privacy policy, clear product prices and delivery costs, and accessible delivery, return and refund terms. You should also protect customers’ personal information and use a secure payment process.

You can start as a sole proprietor and trade under your personal name, subject to the requirements that apply to your business. A legal or tax professional can help you confirm your specific obligations.
