Online store development in Tanzania

WooCommerce online stores with mobile money payments, delivery options and a checkout that works smoothly on a phone.

Online stores built to sell

We build online stores on WooCommerce, the most widely used ecommerce platform for WordPress. You get full control of your products, prices and orders, with no monthly platform fees on top of hosting.

What is included

  • Product catalogue: categories, filters, variations and search, from a few products to thousands.
  • Mobile money and card payments: M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas, Airtel Money and cards through local gateways such as Pesapal, Selcom, AzamPay and ClickPesa.
  • Delivery options: delivery zones and fees, store pickup, or “pay on delivery” if you offer it.
  • Order notifications: email and WhatsApp-friendly order confirmations.
  • Fast product pages: optimised images and caching so pages load quickly on mobile data.
  • Marketing ready: Meta Pixel and product catalog set up so you can run Facebook and Instagram catalog ads.

Proof: Hisense Extra

We built the Hisense Extra store for Hisense products in Tanzania. It carries more than 1,000 products, loads in under a second and scores 97 for performance on Google PageSpeed. We also built online stores for Azzaman Household and Karibu Smart.

WooCommerce or Shopify?

For most Tanzanian businesses we recommend WooCommerce, because local mobile money gateways integrate well with it and there are no monthly platform fees. Shopify can suit some businesses, and we will tell you honestly which fits yours.

Questions

Can my online store accept M-Pesa?
