Ecommerce website design in Cape Town
Online shops and shopping cart websites for Cape Town businesses - South African payment gateways, delivery zones that match how you actually deliver, and no per-order commission.
Cape Town has more small businesses selling online than anywhere else in the Western Cape - food producers in Woodstock and Salt River, homeware and clothing brands in the Southern Suburbs, bakeries and takeaways across the city, and farm stalls on the Peninsula that now ship nationally. Most of them started on a marketplace or a page builder, and most of them hit the same wall: monthly fees, a percentage of every sale, and a checkout they cannot change when the business changes.
Shopping cart website design that keeps your margin
We design and build ecommerce websites for Cape Town businesses on your own domain, in your own name. That means a product catalogue built around how you actually sell, a checkout with the gateways South Africans already trust - PayFast, Yoco, iKhokha, SnapScan and Zapper - and nothing paid to us per order. You pay for the build once. The shop is yours.
Built for how Cape Town delivers
A Cape Town online shop lives or dies on delivery. We build delivery zones that match your reality: same-day within the Southern Suburbs, next-day across the metro, courier or Pargo pick-up for the rest of the country, and collection from your shop or a market stall. Cold-chain hand-off for frozen and fresh goods is a solved problem here, and we have built it before. Load-shedding aside, the site loads in under two seconds on a mobile connection because that is where most of your customers will find you.
Who we build for in Cape Town
Restaurants and takeaways that want online ordering without a commission. Producers and artisans who sell at the Oranjezicht or Blue Bird markets on Saturday and want to sell the rest of the week too. Retailers with a shopfront and a growing online side. And businesses that already have a website that works and simply want a shop added to it rather than a rebuild.
Complete new online stores run from R15,000 to R30,000 depending on the size of the catalogue and the integrations you need. Adding a shop to your existing site starts from R9,500. After launch, an optional Care Plan keeps it updated, secure and online from R600 a month. Every price is scoped and put in writing before we start.

Yes. We are based in Kenilworth and are happy to meet Cape Town clients at the start of a project. Most of the work runs remotely after that - staging links, video calls and email - which keeps things efficient and keeps the cost down.
PayFast, Yoco, iKhokha, SnapScan and Zapper, settled in rand into your own account. If you already take card payments in-store on Yoco or iKhokha we can usually connect the online shop to the same account.
Yes. We build delivery zones and cut-off times into the checkout so a customer in Claremont sees same-day options and a customer in Johannesburg sees courier rates. Local driver, courier and Pargo pick-up can all run side by side.
