    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does an ecommerce website cost in Kenya?

    Price depends on the number of products, payment methods and custom features. A focused WooCommerce store is far cheaper than a marketplace with custom workflows. We provide a fixed quote in KSh after a short discovery call, so you know the full cost before we start.

    Which platform is best for an online shop in Kenya?

    For most Kenyan businesses WooCommerce on WordPress is the best fit: it is flexible, has no per-sale platform fee, works with M-Pesa through plugins like ours, and you own your store and data. We recommend alternatives only when your requirements demand them.

    Can I accept M-Pesa on my WooCommerce store?

    Yes. We install and configure M-Pesa STK Push or manual Paybill payments, test them end to end and can set up Safaricom Daraja for you. Customers pay in KSh, and orders update automatically.

    Do you build WooCommerce stores in Nairobi for small businesses and startups?

    Yes. As a WooCommerce developer in Nairobi we build online shops for startups, boutiques, wholesalers, restaurants and established retailers, with training so you can manage products and orders yourself.

    Will my online shop work well on mobile phones?

    Yes. Most Kenyan shoppers browse on mobile, so every store is designed mobile-first, tested on real phones and optimised to load quickly on typical mobile networks.

    Can my store sell to customers abroad too?

    Yes. We can add multiple currencies, international shipping rules and USD pricing with automatic conversion to KSh for M-Pesa, so one store can serve Kenya and the diaspora.

    How long does it take to launch an ecommerce website?

    Most stores launch in about two to four weeks depending on product count and integrations. We import your products, configure payments, taxes and delivery, and test the full checkout before going live.
