E-commerce Website Package | Full online store setup for South Africans.
Launch a professional online store without piecing the technical work together yourself. This full e-commerce website package is a done-with-you build: consult, design, store setup, payments, shipping, SEO foundations, Google Shopping, analytics, and three months of hands-on support after go-live.
Built for South African businesses that need to sell locally and, where products allow, internationally. The store is configured around real checkout flows: VAT, geo zones, shipping methods, Payfast, and reporting you can actually use.
What’s included?
- Brand consult: One-on-one session to map products, positioning, target customers, tone of voice, and a launch deadline. You supply logos and product images; we structure how they appear on the store.
- Store installation: Clean custome OpenCart install, admin hardening basics, SEO-friendly URLs enabled, SSL-ready storefront, and a mobile-responsive theme styled to your brand (colours, logo, typography, homepage layout).
- Catalogue setup: Categories, product templates, attributes where useful, and first 100 products on the platform. Initial product loading from your spreadsheet or existing list (reasonable catalogue size included; large imports quoted if needed).
- Legal and trust pages: Terms, Privacy Policy, Delivery / Returns, and Contact content set up so checkout and Google Service have the pages they expect.
- Payments: Payfast (Personal or Business) integrated and tested through to a successful test or live transaction.
- Localisation for South AfricaL VAT/tax class, currencies, geo zones, country/zone list cleaned for checkout, and shipping methods configured (including courier options such as DHL where your products can ship).
- Promotions: Coupons, gift vouchers, and reward points switched on and explained so you can run campaigns after launch.
- Technical SEO foundation: Keyword-led page titles and meta descriptions on core pages, clean SEO URLs, XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical-ready structure, and product data prepared for search.
- Google Shopping / Merchant Center: Product feed setup and submission so eligible products can appear in Google Shopping (restricted items such as certain fertilisers or pesticides are flagged so they are not forced into an international feed that will fail).
- Analytics and ads-ready tracking: GA4 and conversion events (view item, add to cart, begin checkout, purchase). Tracking pixel / social sharing tags and basic audience-ready events for remarketing.
- Email that actually sends: Store email / SMTP so order confirmations, contact form, and admin alerts do not land in spam.
- Reporting: Bi-weekly analytics snapshots for three months, plus a short competitor and product-visibility review so you know what to fix after launch.
- Handover and support: Admin walkthrough (add products, process orders, coupons, shipping). 3 months support for updates, small content changes, and product management questions.
Typical timeline:
A complete store of this type is usually ready in about 48 hours after the consult and assets are in, depending on catalogue size and payment/shipping account access. A simpler lead-generation site can go live faster if you only need that first.
What you should have ready:
Domain and hosting access (or we can advise a host that runs wpuold suit you site well), logo and product images, product list with prices and stock, Payfast account, and a decision on which products ship locally only versus internationally.
Not a template dump. The package is a working store configured for search, checkout, and Google, not just a theme with a price on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in the e-commerce full package?
A full Opencart installation and theme branding, catalogue structure, Payfast, SA tax and shipping setup, legal pages, SEO URLs and sitemap, Google Shopping feed, GA4 conversion tracking, order email configuration, a brand consult, and three months of support. - How long does it take to launch the online store?
After the consult and once logos, product data, and payment/shipping access are provided, a standard store is typically live in about 48 hours. Larger catalogues or custom shipping rules take longer. - Is hosting and a domain included?
The package is the store build and configuration. You provide (or we advise) domain and hosting that meet our requirements. SSL and DNS pointing are part of going live. - Can the store sell in South Africa and overseas?
Yes. Geo zones, currencies, and shipping methods are set up for local and international checkout. Products that carriers such as DHL cannot export (for example some fertilisers and pest-control goods) should be limited to local shipping so orders do not fail at the border. - Will my products show on Google and Google Shopping?
Core SEO (titles, URLs, sitemap, Search Console-ready setup) is included, plus a Merchant Center / Google Shopping feed for eligible products. Rankings still depend on content, reviews, and competition; the package gives the store the technical base Google and AI systems need to understand what you sell.
