INCLUDED
What every shop we build includes
Mobile-first store
Product pages and checkout designed for phones first, where most of your customers shop.
M-Pesa and cards
Checkout with M-Pesa (Daraja STK Push, Paybill or Till), Pesapal, iPay and PayPal, so customers pay the way they prefer.
Product management
Add products, prices, variations and stock yourself from a simple admin.
Orders and delivery
Order notifications, delivery zones and fees, and order status for customers.
SEO-ready
Clean product URLs, titles, descriptions and fast pages so products can be found in search.
WhatsApp-ready
Click-to-chat on product pages for customers who want to ask before they buy.
PLATFORMS
Which platform is right for your shop?
Most of the shops we build run on WooCommerce (WordPress), which you own outright with no platform fees. See WooCommerce with M-Pesa for the details. If your shop needs custom workflows, stock syncing or a marketplace, a custom web application may fit better, and we’ll advise honestly during the discovery call.
