FAQ
E-commerce — common questions
We primarily build on WooCommerce (WordPress) and Shopify, depending on your needs. WooCommerce is ideal for businesses that want full control and customisation. Shopify is better for businesses that want a simpler, hosted solution. We will recommend the right platform during your meeting.
Typical turnaround is 4–8 weeks depending on the number of products and complexity. The timeline depends on how quickly you can provide product information, images, and content. We will give you a specific timeline during your meeting.
PayFast is our recommended gateway for South African businesses — it is the most widely used and trusted. We also support Peach Payments, PayGate, and Stripe for international businesses. The right gateway depends on your business model and customer base.
The Professional package includes on-site product photography. For other packages, we can advise on what you need and recommend photographers in your area. Good product images are critical for e-commerce conversion — we will guide you on the minimum requirements for your store.
Yes. Meta Pixel, Facebook Catalog, Google Shopping feed, and Google Analytics 4 e-commerce tracking are all set up as part of the Standard and Professional packages. This means your store is ready to run ads and measure sales from day one.
Absolutely — and we highly recommend it. E-commerce stores benefit enormously from Meta Ads (dynamic product ads) and Google Shopping campaigns. Ask us about marketing support when you get in touch.
