Process

How We Work

A clear process with no hidden stages, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

  1. 01

    Store Audit & Strategy

    If you have an existing store, we audit it. If you're starting fresh, we understand your products, target market, and pricing. We recommend Shopify theme and app architecture.

  2. 02

    Store Setup

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

  3. 03

    Theme Customization

    We customize your chosen Shopify theme or build a custom theme from scratch. We optimize checkout flow, add trust signals (reviews, testimonials), and ensure mobile perfection.

  4. 04

    Payment & Integrations

    We integrate your payment gateways (MTN Money, Airtel Money, Stripe, etc.), shipping providers, and any custom apps you need (CRM, inventory, etc.).

  5. 05

    Testing & Launch

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

  6. 06

    Training & Support

    We train your team: adding products, managing orders, refunds, reports. You get 30 days included support, then optional ongoing retainers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines and what happens after launch. Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp.

How much does a Shopify store cost in Uganda?+

Shopify plan:(depends on features). Custom apps or integrations. We give you a full quote after understanding your needs.

Can you integrate MTN Money and Airtel Money into my Shopify store?+

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, 20 hours, or flexible hourly engagement. Includes store updates, product additions, app tweaks, and bug fixes. Many clients stay on retainer long-term. We quote after understanding your requirements — see our pricing page for standard packages.
