Ecommerce websites built for South African stores
CapeWeb designs and builds ecommerce websites for South African businesses on Shopify and WooCommerce, wired to local payment gateways (PayFast, Yoco, Ozow) and courier options. We focus on fast, frictionless checkout and product pages that rank — so the store brings buyers in, not just shows a catalogue.

- Payments: PayFast, Yoco, Ozow
- Starts from: R25,000 once-off
- Focus: Checkout speed + product SEO
A South African store has South African problems
Generic ecommerce advice ignores the things that actually trip up SA stores: which gateway your customers trust, courier integration that does not lie about delivery dates, and a checkout that does not collapse on a patchy mobile connection.
We build around those realities. PayFast or Yoco where your buyers expect it, clear shipping logic, and a checkout stripped of every step that loses sales.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify is faster to launch, lower-maintenance, and great if you want to focus on selling rather than plumbing. WooCommerce gives you more control and lower per-sale fees but needs more upkeep. We will tell you straight which fits your volume and team — see our full breakdown in the blog.
- Product pages structured to rank for "buy X in South Africa" searches
- Local payment + courier integration done properly
- Speed-optimised so mobile shoppers actually reach checkout
- Analytics so you know which products and channels make money
