Selling online in South Africa

Selling Online Takes More Than Having a Website

Many businesses have great products but struggle to turn them into consistent online sales. Some don't know which selling channel to start with. Others have online stores but struggle with product setup, payments, delivery, customer acquisition or marketplace operations.

When these parts don't work together, selling online becomes complicated and expensive.

Not sure where to start

The business needs a clear strategy and an appropriate selling channel.

An online store that isn't ready to sell

Products, payments, checkout or delivery are incomplete or poorly configured.

Struggling with marketplaces

Seller onboarding, catalogues, listings and operational requirements are difficult to manage.

Getting traffic without enough purchases

Customers visit, but product information, the shopping experience or checkout creates friction.

Disconnected tools and processes

Marketing, order fulfilment and customer communication are managed separately.

Limited visibility into performance

The business cannot clearly see which products, channels and activities contribute to results.

Rekisa connects the pieces of your eCommerce business so they work together.

eCommerce website development · online store setup

eCommerce Website Development for South African Businesses

Your online store should make it easy for customers to discover products, understand what they're buying and complete a purchase.

Rekisa builds eCommerce websites around your products and selling requirements. We help configure the essential components, from product catalogues and checkout to payments, delivery and customer communication.

The whole purchase journey, not just the design. We plan how customers find products, decide, pay and receive their order — then build the store around it.

Core deliverables

  • eCommerce website planning
  • Storefront design and development
  • Mobile-responsive layouts
  • Product and category setup
  • Product descriptions and imagery
  • Product variations and options
  • Shopping cart and checkout
  • Supported payment integrations
  • Delivery and shipping configuration
  • Customer notifications
  • Basic eCommerce analytics
  • Technical SEO foundations
  • Launch testing and handover

Platform expertise includes Ecwid, where relevant. Payment options such as PayFast and Yoco are configured when supported by the selected implementation. Shipping configuration depends on the available fulfilment services and integrations.

eCommerce strategy consulting

Build an eCommerce Strategy That Supports Real Business Growth

A successful online business needs clarity about what it sells, who it sells to and how customers will discover and buy its products.

Rekisa helps businesses develop practical eCommerce strategies that connect their business model, product offering, pricing, selling channels, marketing and customer experience.

  2. Build
  3. Measure

We develop a plan, implement the important components, measure what happens and improve the system over time. A strategy guides decisions — it does not guarantee sales.

Marketplace seller setup · Takealot, Amazon, Makro

Marketplace Seller Setup and Enablement

Get Ready to Sell on Amazon, Takealot and Makro

Marketplaces can help businesses access customers beyond their own websites, but getting started requires preparation. Rekisa helps sellers understand marketplace requirements, prepare their product catalogues, develop listings and organise the systems needed to manage marketplace selling.

  • Amazon logo
  • Takealot logo
  • Makro logo

Marketplace names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners. Seller approval is determined by each marketplace.

Marketplace readiness

Assess whether the business, products and operational processes are prepared for the selected marketplace.

Seller onboarding support

Assist with the application and onboarding steps permitted by each marketplace.

Product catalogue preparation

Prepare product information, categories, imagery, attributes and pricing details.

Listing creation and optimisation

Help sellers create accurate, useful product listings that follow marketplace requirements.

Stock and fulfilment readiness

Review inventory availability, delivery requirements and relevant fulfilment options.

Marketplace operations

Support the setup of practical processes for managing products, orders and seller performance.

Marketplace growth planning

Identify opportunities to improve listings, visibility and the customer experience.

Important: Amazon, Takealot and Makro independently determine seller eligibility, approval and operating requirements — Rekisa cannot guarantee approval and is not a marketplace registration authority. Rekisa's implementation fees are separate from marketplace fees, subscriptions, commissions, advertising charges and fulfilment costs.
eCommerce enablement services

Every Part of Your eCommerce System, Connected

Selling online depends on more than a storefront. Rekisa groups the capabilities behind an online sale into one practical operating model — so strategy, store, marketplaces and growth activities support each other instead of running separately.

  1. Stage 1

    Plan

    • eCommerce strategy
    • Customer understanding
    • Product positioning
    • Pricing and channel selection
  2. Stage 2

    Build

    • Online store development
    • Product catalogues
    • Payments and checkout
    • Delivery and fulfilment configuration
  3. Stage 3

    Sell

    • Marketplace enablement
    • Customer acquisition
    • Landing pages and campaigns
    • Conversion optimisation
  4. Stage 4

    Grow

    • Customer journeys
    • CRM and follow-up
    • Customer support automation
    • Analytics and ongoing improvement

Unlike a supplier that only creates websites, Rekisa understands how these components work together. Not every capability is included in every engagement — your proposal sets out the agreed scope.
