Choosing an online store for South African customers
An e-commerce development brief needs more than a product count. Map the journey from product discovery to payment, delivery and customer support. MBICT works with WooCommerce and Shopify; the appropriate choice depends on your catalogue, team, integrations and ongoing operating budget.
WooCommerce or Shopify?
WooCommerce is a store platform built around WordPress, while Shopify is a hosted commerce platform. Compare how each handles your product options, content updates, stock workflow and integrations. Include hosting where applicable, platform subscriptions, extensions and maintenance in the comparison instead of looking only at the build price.
Payments, shipping and stock
For South African checkout requirements, discuss PayFast, Yoco or Ozow alongside your merchant account eligibility. Gateway approval, transaction fees and settlement rules are set by the provider. Plan delivery areas, shipping calculations, stock updates and order notifications, then test successful, failed and cancelled payments before launch.
What to include in your project brief
- Product catalogue, variants, images and stock source
- Payment provider and merchant account requirements
- Delivery areas, fulfilment process and shipping rules
- Staff roles and any accounting or ERP integration

E-commerce Solutions: common questions
Can an online store accept South African payment methods?
PayFast, Yoco and Ozow are integration options to discuss with MBICT. Availability depends on your chosen platform, provider support and merchant approval; fees and settlement terms must be confirmed with the provider.
What affects e-commerce development pricing?
Catalogue complexity, product variants, shipping rules, payment integrations, data migration and staff workflows affect the scope. E-commerce work is quoted separately; the starter business website price is not a confirmed online-store price.
Can a store connect to a CRM or ERP?
A store can be scoped for systems integration where the platforms provide suitable interfaces. Define which system owns products, stock, customers and orders, and how failures or duplicate records should be handled.
