Why It Matters
South African Ecommerce Is Growing — Your Online Store Needs to Be Ready
South African ecommerce is growing rapidly, with millions of consumers now comfortable buying online. But a poorly built online store — slow to load, difficult to navigate on mobile, or missing trusted SA payment options — will lose sales before a customer even reaches checkout. Your online store needs to be built for South African consumers, on South African networks, with South African payment preferences.
Unified Marketing builds high-converting WooCommerce online stores for South African businesses — from product catalogue setup and PayFast integration to full custom ecommerce development with advanced functionality.

FAQs
Ecommerce Development Questions Answered
For most South African businesses, WooCommerce on WordPress is our recommended platform. It has no monthly platform fees (unlike Shopify's R400–R1,500+/month), full SEO control, complete ownership of your store and data, and the widest support for South African payment gateways. Shopify is a good option for businesses who want a simpler, more managed experience and are comfortable with monthly fees. We assess your specific requirements during a free consultation and recommend the most appropriate platform for your SA business.
We integrate all major South African payment gateways including PayFast (most popular SA gateway), Peach Payments, Yoco, Ozow (instant EFT), SnapScan, and Zapper. We also configure credit and debit card processing, and can set up manual EFT payment options for B2B customers. Having multiple trusted payment options reduces cart abandonment and increases completed purchases on your SA online store.
A Starter Store with up to 50 products typically takes 4–6 weeks from design approval to launch. A Growth Store with up to 500 products takes 6–10 weeks. Custom Authority Stores with complex functionality are scoped individually. We provide a detailed project timeline with milestones at the start of every ecommerce development project.
