Ecommerce website design in Kenya that closes the sale on M-Pesa
We build online stores for Nairobi and Mombasa retailers where a customer pays by M-Pesa STK Push in seconds, you see the order the moment it lands, and delivery is sorted. Cards too, for the buyers who want them.
Custom quote Scoped to your catalogue and payment setup. Every project runs on our 50/25/25 plan: 50% to start, 25% at review, 25% at completion.
What your Kenyan online store ships with
Not a template with a payment button bolted on. A store built for how Kenyans actually buy: on a mid-range Android, over patchy data, paying with the money in their M-Pesa wallet.
M-Pesa STK Push checkout
The buyer enters their Safaricom number, gets the STK prompt, types their PIN and pays. No pasting till numbers or manual confirmation. The order is marked paid automatically via the Daraja API.
Card payments alongside M-Pesa
Visa and Mastercard through a Kenyan gateway for customers who prefer cards or are buying from abroad. One checkout, both rails, no dead ends.
Stock and order management
A dashboard where you see every order, mark it packed or dispatched, and watch stock counts drop as items sell so you never oversell what you do not have.
Delivery zones and fees
Set rates for Nairobi CBD, the estates, Mombasa and upcountry, or flag pickup. Buyers see the delivery cost before they pay, not as a surprise at the door.
Fast on slow data
Compressed product images, lean pages and a layout that loads on a mid-range Android over 3G. A store that stalls loses the sale, so we build for the real network.
WhatsApp order handoff
An order confirmation and a one-tap WhatsApp link so buyers can ask about sizing, delivery or restocks on the channel Kenyans actually reply on.
Why retailers pick us over a DIY store or a silent agency
A Shopify or WooCommerce store you set up yourself can take M-Pesa, but plugin fees, theme limits and the setup work pile up fast. We build and wire the whole thing, then hand you the keys.
- Real M-Pesa integration, tested with live STK Push and reconciliation, not a screenshot-upload workaround
- Price transparency up front: we scope, quote and put it in writing before you commit, no vague contact-us games
- You own everything: code, store, product data and customer list are yours to keep or move
- Built for Kenyan buyers: mid-range Android, slow data, M-Pesa first, cards second
- One team for build and ads: the same people can run the Meta and Google campaigns that fill the store
Proof we ship real commerce
White Gorilla Electronics is a live ecommerce build in our portfolio: product catalogue, cart and checkout running in production. It is the kind of store we build for Kenyan retailers, wired for the payment rails your customers already use. We also run our own live commerce and business platform, Growth Informer Business, so we know inventory and orders from the inside.
Ecommerce in Kenya, answered straight
It is a custom quote because the price depends on your catalogue size, payment setup and delivery logic. A simple store with M-Pesa and a handful of products costs far less than a large catalogue with cards, variants and multiple delivery zones. We scope your store and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Most stores go live in a few weeks once we have your products, images and M-Pesa or gateway details. Larger catalogues and custom features take longer. We give you a realistic timeline in the quote rather than a number that slips.
You pay 50% to start the build, 25% at the review stage when you see the store working, and the final 25% at completion when it goes live. It keeps your risk low and keeps us accountable at every stage.
Yes. You own everything we ship: the code, the store, your product data and your customer list. Nothing is locked to us. If you ever want to move it or bring in another team, you can.
Yes. We integrate M-Pesa through the Safaricom Daraja API so buyers pay by STK Push, enter their PIN, and the order is confirmed as paid automatically. We test it with live transactions and reconciliation before your store goes live, so payments match orders.
