PrestaShop specialism

The dedicated PrestaShop practice in South Africa

Module development, theme development, migrations from Magento and WooCommerce, and ongoing support, done in-house and in rand. We do not subcontract or mark up a European agency, and we know the platform's quirks because we run our own store on PrestaShop 9.

Brief us on your project What we actually do
Why this exists

A niche, by choice

If you run PrestaShop in South Africa, your options have been a busy freelancer or an agency in Europe quoting in euros. We exist to be a third option: local, senior and in rand.

01 / Already on it

European parent, SA storefront

Your group standardised on PrestaShop abroad and you need local support for the .co.za storefront. We take this on.

02 / B2B catalogue

Multi-currency, multi-store

PrestaShop's multi-store and B2B features are stronger than WooCommerce out of the box. We will say when it is the right tool, and when it is not.

03 / Stuck on 1.7

Upgrade without losing the store

Custom modules audited, theme rebuilt on current patterns, SEO redirects preserved. We have done this, including on our own store.

Scope

What we actually do
