The challenge

Why most SA online stores underperform

South African e-commerce stores built on generic platforms share a predictable set of problems: they only accept card payments, leaving EFT and SnapScan users at the door; they load slowly on mobile data; they show shipping costs for the first time at checkout; and they look identical to every other store on the same template. The result is a store that exists but does not sell — or sells far below its potential.

The solution

A store built around how SA buyers actually buy

A Yoros webshop is designed around the specific behaviours and expectations of South African online buyers: local payment methods front and centre, shipping costs visible before checkout, guest checkout available, and a mobile experience tested on real devices on real connections. The design is custom — no shared templates, no competing stores that look like yours.

What's included

Everything you get

South African payment methods

Paystack and PayFast integration covering card, instant EFT, SnapScan, Zapper, and Mobicred. Buyers pay the way they prefer — you don't lose sales to a missing payment method at the last step.

Mobile-first checkout

Designed for the 70% of SA online shoppers browsing on a phone. Tap-sized buttons, numeric keyboards on number fields, swipeable product galleries, and a two-step checkout that doesn't test patience.

Product and inventory management

Add, edit, and organise products from your admin panel. Variants (size, colour, material), stock tracking, low-stock alerts, and bulk import for larger catalogues. No developer needed for day-to-day product management.

Shipping and delivery configuration

Set flat rates, weight-based rates, or free-shipping thresholds. Show shipping costs on the product page — not as a checkout surprise. Courier API integrations available for live rate calculation.

Order management and reporting

A clean admin view of every order — status, customer details, items, and payment confirmation. Filter by status, search by order number or customer, and export order data for fulfilment or accounting.

Discounts, bundles, and promotions

Discount codes, percentage and fixed-amount promotions, product bundles, and limited-time offers — all manageable from your admin panel without developer involvement.

How we build it

From brief to live

01

Catalogue and business rules

We map your product catalogue, variants, shipping rules, and payment requirements before building. Knowing your business rules upfront means the system is configured correctly from day one — not retrofitted later.

02

Design and build

The store is designed around your brand and your product type. A clothing store and a hardware store need different layouts, different filtering, and different checkout flows. We build for your specific product and buyer.

03

Payment and shipping integration

Paystack or PayFast is integrated and tested in sandbox mode. Shipping rules are configured. The full checkout flow — add to cart, checkout, payment, confirmation email — is tested end-to-end before launch.

04

Product import and launch

Your product catalogue is imported — either by you via the admin panel or via a bulk import we set up. The store is launched with DNS, SSL, and a test order confirmed before the first real customer arrives.

Common questions

FAQ

How many products can the store handle?

The standard tiers cover up to 50, 200, or unlimited products. Even the unlimited tier is optimised for performance — large catalogues are paginated, filtered, and search-indexed so they remain fast regardless of size.

Can I manage products myself after launch?

Yes. Adding products, updating pricing, managing stock levels, and processing orders are all done from your admin panel. No developer involvement needed for routine product management.

Does it work with my existing accounting software?

Order data can be exported in CSV format compatible with most SA accounting packages. Direct integrations with Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks are available as add-ons.

Can I sell digital products or services as well as physical goods?

Yes. Digital product delivery (downloadable files, license keys, access links) is a supported configuration. Service-based products — booking a session, purchasing a consultation package — can also be sold through the store.

What about returns and refunds?

Your returns policy is displayed throughout the store. Refunds are processed through Paystack or PayFast's refund API from your admin panel — no need to log into the payment gateway separately.
