Q & A
What is eCommerce ?
e-Commerce (otherwise called electronic commerce) is the method by which products or services are bought or sold using an electronic medium (the Internet).
This medium offers optimal convenience to both the consumer and seller with no restrictions of time or distance.
What is an eCommerce Website ?
An e Commerce website is a website that has been specifically designed and developed for use as an online store.
Typically the website would contain multiple product pages, multiple product categories (similar to shop departments), a featured or best-selling products section and utilise proven, safe payment gateway and responsive, mobile-friendly layout.
How much is an eCommerce Website ?
A high quality, functional, professionally built online store costs anywhere from R 15,000 to R 150,000 + in South Africa.
The price is highly dependent on the size of the website, volume of products and categories, the types of included functionality, as well as creation of text and image based content and copywriting.
So why all the fuss?
If you’re currently or potentially a retailer here's the top 10 reasons why e commerce could work for you:
10 Reasons Why A Retailer Needs eCommerce
- 1. Growth (2019 shows 18.5 million South African eCommerce users, by 2021 there will be 25 million)
- 2. More Customers (With online retail you reach a nationwide market… or beyond)
- 3. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week (Whatever the time and wherever you are, your shop still operates)
- 4. Less Overheads (No costly retail store rent and minimal staff required)
- 5. More Profit (Bigger margins due to reduced overheads)

- 8. Online Marketing (Advertise and market your products through Social Media and Search Engines (SEO (LINK)))
- 9. Customer Convenience (Save your customers the pain of visiting a store to purchase and offer excellent support)
