Sell online without the checkout falling over
Taking orders through DMs and manual EFTs works until it does not. A proper shop takes the payment, records the order and tells you about it, while you are doing something else.
What's included
Everything below is part of the work, not an upsell once you have started.
Product catalogue
Categories, variants, sizes and options set up so customers can find a thing without scrolling past forty others.
Secure card checkout
Card details are entered in the payment provider's own window and never touch your site, which is how it should be.
Paystack integration
Card payments in rands, settled to a South African bank account.
Inventory management
Stock counts that go down when something sells, so you are not selling what you no longer have.
Order notifications
You get the order by email the moment it lands. The customer gets a confirmation without you writing it.
Shipping and collection
Delivery rates, zones or click-and-collect, configured for how you actually get goods to people.
Built for phone checkout
Most abandoned carts are a checkout that is painful on mobile. This one is tested at 360px first.
Training and handover
How to add a product, change a price and refund an order, walked through and written down.
Who it's for
- You sell in person and want the same stock available to people who cannot get to you.
- You take orders in DMs and are losing track of who paid and who did not.
- You send manual EFT invoices and chase proof of payment for every single order.
- You are on a marketplace and want your own storefront that does not take a cut.

Questions about e-commerce stores
Which payment gateway do you use?
Paystack by default. It settles in rands to a South African bank account, takes Visa and Mastercard, and handles the card entry in its own secure window so card numbers never pass through your site. If you already have a different provider, tell me before we start and I will tell you honestly whether it fits.
What are the transaction fees?
The gateway charges those, not me, and the rate depends on the provider and your volume, so check their current pricing directly rather than taking my word for it. I do not add a markup or take a cut of your sales.
Can I add and edit products myself?
Yes, and you are shown how before handover: adding a product, changing a price, marking something out of stock, and refunding an order. If you would rather not, product updates are the kind of thing a monthly retainer covers.
How does shipping work?
It is configured around how you already get goods to people: flat rate, rates by area, free over a threshold, or click-and-collect. If you use a courier with its own system, say so early, because integrating one is a different amount of work to setting a flat rate.
What happens if the checkout breaks?
A broken checkout costs you money the same day, which is why Pro Care exists. Support runs Mon–Fri 7am–7pm · Sat 12pm–5pm SAST, with a same-day reply on weekdays. I do not offer overnight or Sunday cover, and I would rather tell you that now than have you find out during a problem.
