Why Shopify, and not WooCommerce

A free plugin still needs hosting, updates and support. Shopify includes all three.

What store owners ask

Yes, from WooCommerce or Wix, with your products, customers and orders. I look at your store first, and the move is priced on your quote.

Your Shopify plan, billed to you in US dollars with VAT, plus any paid apps. Shopify also adds a fee to each sale, 2% on its Basic plan. I recommend what fits before we start, so you know the running costs up front.

Yes, any provider that works with Shopify in South Africa, such as Payfast, Yoco, Peach Payments or Ozow. The account is in your name and payouts go to your bank.

How to start

  1. Answer three questions. What you need, your industry, and how many people work there.

  2. Book a call. A phone call or a video call. There is nothing to prepare.

  3. Your quote in writing. One fixed price for the work. Asking costs nothing.
