E-commerce Websites

Online stores that drive sales

We build complete e-commerce platforms tailored to your business — from product catalogs and cart systems to payment gateways and order management. Whether it's a boutique shop or a large-scale marketplace, we deliver stores that convert.

E-commerce websites in Kenya

An online store lets customers browse, pay and order at any hour. In Kenya that means M-Pesa at checkout, delivery options across towns and counties, and pages that load fast on mobile data.

We build online stores that connect to the rest of your business. For Galactic Solar & Electricals we built the online store alongside the POS that runs sales, stock and purchases across their shops, so online and in-store stock stay in step.

What your online store needs

These are the features that decide whether visitors actually buy:

  • M-Pesa, card and pay-on-delivery checkout.
  • Delivery zones and charges for Nairobi and the rest of Kenya.
  • Stock that syncs with your shop or warehouse.
  • Order notifications by SMS, WhatsApp and email.
  • Product pages set up for Google, including product structured data.
  • Simple admin for adding products, prices and offers.

Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store

WooCommerce runs on WordPress and suits most small and medium stores that want low running costs and full control. Shopify suits businesses that want a managed platform with less to maintain, for a monthly fee.

A custom store makes sense when you need wholesale pricing, complex delivery rules, or deep links to your POS or ERP. We will recommend the platform that fits your catalogue, budget and team.

Questions

Do you build custom stores or use platforms like Shopify?

Both. We build fully custom stores for unique requirements, and also work with Shopify/WooCommerce for faster launches.

Can you integrate M-Pesa?

Yes, M-Pesa integration is one of our core offerings for East African businesses.

Do you help with product photography?

We can guide you on product photography best practices and recommend partners for professional shoots.

How long does it take to build an online store?

A store on WooCommerce or Shopify with your products loaded typically takes two to four weeks. Custom stores and integrations with your POS take longer, and we agree the timeline upfront.

Can the store sync with my POS stock?

Yes. We can connect the store to your POS or stock system so that a sale online or in the shop updates the same stock levels.

How do customers pay with M-Pesa?

At checkout the customer enters their phone number and approves the payment on an M-Pesa prompt. The order is confirmed automatically once payment is received.
