Building for African customers

Light pages, local payments, real-world delivery.

In many African markets most shoppers browse on mid-range Android phones and pay for mobile data, so page weight matters as much as design. We keep pages light, compress images carefully and test on real devices over slower connections.

Payments and delivery differ by country. Kenyan customers expect M-Pesa, Nigerian shoppers use cards and bank transfers through Paystack or Flutterwave, and South African stores commonly use PayFast or Peach Payments. Cash on delivery still matters in many places, so we build order confirmation by SMS or WhatsApp to reduce refused parcels. Delivery addresses can be informal, so checkout forms allow landmarks and directions.

Questions

Questions from African clients.

Can you integrate M-Pesa or Paystack?

Yes. Your business opens the merchant account with the provider; we integrate it into your store or app.

Do you work during our hours?

India is 2.5 hours ahead of Kenya, 3.5 hours ahead of South Africa, 4.5 hours ahead of Nigeria and 5.5 hours ahead of Ghana, so our working day overlaps most of yours.

Who owns the code?

You do. Code, designs and documentation are handed over, and we can sign your NDA first.
