E-commerce development for African buyers

Selling online in Nigeria isn’t the same as selling online anywhere else. Buyers compare on Instagram, ask questions on WhatsApp, pay by transfer or card, and expect clarity on delivery before they commit. Your store should be built for that journey.

Who it’s for

  • Brands selling mainly through social media and chat
  • Retailers moving from marketplaces to their own store
  • Businesses that need custom pricing, bundles or B2B ordering

What’s included

  • Storefront design

    Product pages and checkout designed for trust and speed on mobile.

  • Local payments

    Card, bank transfer and other methods your customers already use.

  • Delivery logic

    Zones, fees and timelines that are clear before checkout.

  • Operations

    Order management, inventory and notifications that fit how you fulfil.

  • Growth tools

    Analytics, product feeds and search-friendly catalogue structure.

How we approach it

We remove doubt at every step: price, delivery, payment and returns. Most abandoned carts are unanswered questions, not lost interest.

Cost and time

What affects the cost

  • Catalogue size and product complexity
  • Platform choice (hosted or custom)
  • Payment and delivery integrations
  • Inventory and ERP connections

How long it takes

Stores on established platforms can launch in four to eight weeks. Custom commerce builds take longer and are planned in releases.

Every proposal we send includes a written scope, a dated plan and a fixed price for that scope.

Questions

Shopify, WooCommerce or custom?

It depends on your catalogue, operations and growth plans. We recommend the simplest platform that won’t limit you in two years.

Can customers pay by bank transfer?

Yes. We integrate payment providers that support transfers and confirm payments automatically.

Can orders connect to WhatsApp?

Order confirmations and updates can be sent through WhatsApp Business integrations.
