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.
