Why Settle for Global When You Can Have Local?

A generic online store won't capture the East African opportunity. Success requires a platform that speaks your customer's language, especially at checkout. We build complete ecommerce sites in Kenya that integrate seamlessly with the payment methods people trust, like M-Pesa, creating a frictionless path from discovery to delivery.

We specialize in Kenya commerce solutions that understand the rhythm of regional trade across Nairobi, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, and beyond.

"We are more than website developers; we are commerce architects who build for how East Africans shop and pay."

The Local Checkout: Where East African E-Commerce Wins or Loses

Your customer is ready to buy. They've filled their cart. Then they reach payment: unfamiliar gateways, no M-Pesa option, complexity. The sale is abandoned. This is the critical breakpoint we fix for retail businesses, tourism operators, and product sellers across East Africa.

The Problem:

  • • Unfamiliar payment gateways
  • • Missing local payment options
  • • Complicated checkout process
  • • High cart abandonment rates

Our Solution:

  • • Seamless M-Pesa integration
  • • Multiple local payment methods
  • • Simplified one-click checkout
  • • Higher conversion rates

We design for the East African purchase journey, where convenience, trust, and local preference dictate success. Our solutions remove the final barriers to sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does M-Pesa integration work for ecommerce in Kenya?

We implement direct M-Pesa STK Push technology that allows customers to pay within your store without leaving their browser. When they select M-Pesa at checkout, a prompt appears on their phone asking them to enter their PIN to complete payment. It's seamless, secure, and significantly reduces cart abandonment compared to traditional payment methods in Kenya. This is crucial for retail businesses, tourism operators, and service providers across East Africa.

Can I manage inventory across multiple locations in East Africa?

Absolutely. Our systems support multi-location inventory management. You can track stock levels in your Nairobi warehouse, Kampala storefront, and Dar es Salaam distribution center all from one dashboard. The system automatically updates availability across your online store as sales happen anywhere in the region. This is particularly valuable for retail chains, manufacturers, and distribution businesses operating across multiple East African markets.

Do you support other local payment methods beyond M-Pesa?

Yes, we integrate all major East African payment methods including Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa (Tanzania), MTN Mobile Money (Uganda), credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and direct bank transfers. We configure the payment options that make sense for your target markets across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and beyond. For businesses serving financial services or cross-border trade, we ensure your payment system accommodates all relevant methods.

How do you handle shipping and logistics across East Africa?

We set up configurable shipping zones with accurate pricing for different regions. You can define rates for Nairobi delivery, upcountry Kenya shipping, cross-border delivery to Uganda/Tanzania, and international shipping. We integrate with major logistics partners and provide real-time tracking so customers know exactly where their order is.
