Shopify is the easiest platform to launch an online store in Uganda — but there's a lot more you can do with it. We build custom Shopify stores, integrate local payment gateways (MTN Money, Airtel Money), create apps to automate your business, and optimize for conversions. Whether you're selling locally or globally, we've got you covered.

Custom Shopify Theme Development
Shopify App Development (Custom Liquid & APIs)
Payment Gateway Integration (Local & International)

Multichannel Selling (Shopify + Facebook + Instagram)

Our Approach

  • Professional Shopify store design & setup

  • International payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout)
  • Automated inventory syncing & low-stock alerts
  • Custom shipping & tax rules (local + international)
  • Built-in SEO optimization & Google integration
  • Apps for email automation, abandonment recovery, reviews, etc.

Domain setup, Shopify account creation, basic config. We install essential apps, set up collections, and create your first products (sample).

5

Testing & Launch

Test every payment method, every shipping rule, every integration. Test on mobile networks common in Uganda (3G, 4G). Go live with confidence.

Yes. We're experts in local payment integration. We've successfully integrated MTN MoMo for Shopify, Airtel Money APIs, DPO, and custom USSD solutions. We handle the API setup, testing, and troubleshooting.

Can I use Shopify to sell in Uganda and internationally?

Absolutely. Shopify is built for global commerce. You can set different currencies, shipping rates, and taxes by country. We help you configure this and optimize for both local and international customers.

What if I want to sell on multiple channels (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)?

Shopify syncs with Facebook Shop, Instagram Shop, and TikTok Shop. We set up these integrations so your inventory stays in sync across channels. One order, one fulfillment, no double-selling headaches.

How long does it take to set up a Shopify store?

Basic store: 2–3 weeks. Store with custom integrations: 4–8 weeks. Depends on complexity and how fast you provide product info. We give you a timeline upfront.

Can you help me migrate from WooCommerce or Wix?

Yes. We handle full migrations: products, customers, orders (historical), all preserved. We ensure zero downtime and no SEO loss. Plan for 2–4 weeks depending on product count.

Do you optimize for conversions?

Yes. We optimize checkout flow, payment method presentation (MTN Money first for Uganda), trust signals (reviews, guarantees), and mobile experience. We also set up abandoned cart recovery and upsell apps.

What ongoing support do you offer?

Monthly retainers: 10 hours ($1,200), 20 hours ($2,000), or flexible hourly engagement ($120/hour). Includes store updates, product additions, app tweaks, and bug fixes. Many clients stay on retainer long-term.
