What a retail shop website needs
Product ranges and brands
The ranges and brands you carry, with photos and prices or “from” prices, so shoppers know it is worth the trip.
Online shop when you are ready
Start with a showcase and add a full shop with card and instant EFT payments, or start with the shop from day one.
Hours, parking and directions
Store hours, holiday hours, mall entrance or parking notes and a map, for each branch if you have more than one.
Stock questions on WhatsApp
A WhatsApp button so shoppers can ask “do you have this in my size” before they drive over.
Click and collect, delivery
Order online and collect in store, or courier delivery with clear costs and times.
Found by local shoppers
Pages built around what you sell and where you are, linked to your Google Business Profile.

Selling online: the rules your shop must follow
As soon as you sell online, the Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act applies. Section 43 lists information an online seller must show on the website, including your business name and contact details, a physical address, a description of the goods, the full price with delivery costs, and your returns, refund and privacy policies. Section 44 gives online buyers a cooling-off period: they may cancel within seven days of receiving goods, and the only charge you may pass on is the direct cost of returning them. Some sales, such as everyday food delivered to the home, are excluded.
We build these pages into every online shop: terms, returns and refunds, delivery, privacy and a contact page with your details. Have the policies checked against your own business by your adviser.
From shop window to online shop
Not every shop needs to sell online on day one. Many boutiques start with a showcase website that shows new arrivals, ranges and store details, and takes questions on WhatsApp. When you are ready, the same site grows into a full shop with stock levels, payments and courier integration. We have built online stores for C2Kit (refurbished laptops with Johannesburg delivery), Creative Mass (3D printers) and Canvas Print Co (stretched canvas prints). Our guide on starting an online store in South Africa walks through the decisions, and Courier Guy and Pargo shipping covers delivery options.
Pages a retail shop website usually needs
- Home: what you sell, new arrivals, hours and location.
- Ranges or shop: categories, brands and products.
- Specials and new stock: updated by you each week.
- About and store visits: your story, branches, parking and hours.
- Delivery, returns and terms: required as soon as you sell online.
- Contact: phone, WhatsApp, email and map.
For a full online shop with payments and stock management, see ecommerce website design. The 30-page package with a shop is R8,950.
Who it is for
- Clothing and fashion boutiques
- Gift, décor and homeware shops
- Specialist shops such as cycling, outdoor, books or electronics
- Shops with more than one branch

Kevin from web design hosting has been excellent to work with for the last 10 years. He handled the design and hosting of our website for Zeek Gold and made the whole process easy from start to finish. He’s responsive, explains things clearly, and always follows through on what he promises. He built / redesigned our site at zeekgold.co.za, and whenever we’ve needed changes or help, he’s sorted it…

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website for a retail store cost?
Our packages start at R1,450 once-off for a one-page showcase. Most shops choose 5 or 10 pages at R2,950 or R4,950. A full online shop is part of the 30-page package at R8,950. A year of hosting and a .co.za domain are included.
Do I need an online shop, or just a website?
If most of your sales happen in store, a showcase website with hours, ranges and WhatsApp is often enough to start. If customers ask to buy without visiting, or you want to sell outside your area, an online shop makes sense.
Which payment methods can my online shop accept?
Card payments and instant EFT through South African gateways such as PayFast, Yoco or Peach Payments. Our guide to PayFast, Yoco and Peach compares them.
Can the website link to my point-of-sale stock?
Some point-of-sale systems can sync stock with a WooCommerce shop. Tell us which system you use and we will check what is possible before you order.
What policies does an online shop need in South Africa?
At least terms and conditions, a returns and refunds policy that reflects the ECT Act cooling-off period, a delivery policy and a privacy policy. We set up these pages, and you confirm the details for your business.
