Common questions

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

E-commerce builds start at R15,000 for a straightforward WooCommerce store with up to 50 products. Larger catalogues or complex integrations (ERP, POS, B2B pricing) run R30,000–R60,000+. We scope every project before quoting.

Which payment gateways do you integrate?

PayFast, Peach Payments, and Yoco, the most widely used SA payment gateways. PayPal and Stripe for clients selling internationally. Gateway selection depends on your transaction volume and fee structure.

Do you build on WooCommerce or a custom platform?

Primarily WooCommerce for South African businesses, best SA payment gateway support and the largest extension ecosystem. For very high-volume or complex B2B e-commerce, we assess whether a custom build makes more sense.

Do you help with product uploads?

Yes. Bulk product imports via CSV for large catalogues. For smaller stores we set up the site and train your team on managing products themselves. We document the process so you are not dependent on us for routine tasks.

What ongoing support do e-commerce sites need?

Payment gateway updates, WooCommerce and plugin updates, regular security scans, and performance monitoring as the catalogue grows. We offer e-commerce care plans that cover all of this.
