Online Store Development in Ghana

An e-commerce site that takes Mobile Money and actually gets orders out the door.

Online Store Development

We build online stores for Ghanaian businesses — the kind where a customer in Kumasi can pay with MTN MoMo at 10pm and you get a WhatsApp alert before you have put your phone down. Not a template with a broken cart, and not a Facebook page pretending to be a shop.

Online store development sits in our Tech division. Because Media shoots the product photos and SEO and ads live in the same building, the store launches with pictures worth buying from and a plan for getting people to it — the two things most new stores in Ghana are missing on day one.

What Goes Into Your Online Store

Everything between a customer seeing the product and you handing it over

Mobile Money & Card Checkout

MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, AirtelTigo Money and card payments through a Ghanaian payment gateway, with the money landing in your account, not ours. Cash on delivery too, if that is how your customers buy.

Store Design & Build

A store built around what you sell: categories, variants, sizes, colours and bundles. Fast on a phone on mobile data, because that is how nearly every Ghanaian customer will see it.

Inventory & Stock Management

Live stock counts, low-stock alerts and automatic “out of stock” handling, so you stop selling what you no longer have and stop apologising for it afterwards.

Delivery Zones & Shipping Rates

Delivery charges by area — Accra, Greater Accra, other regions — plus pickup, dispatch rider handoff and order tracking your customers can follow themselves.

WhatsApp Order Alerts & Automation

Every order pushed to your WhatsApp instantly, with automated order confirmations and delivery updates to the customer. Most Ghanaian buyers want to finish the conversation on WhatsApp, so we let them.

Product Photography

In-house product and e-commerce photography on clean white or styled backgrounds. Good pictures do more for conversion than almost anything else on the page.

Speed, Security & Hosting

Domain, hosting, SSL and a build tuned to load fast on a 3G connection. Plus backups and maintenance so the store is still there in a year.

Analytics & Store SEO

Analytics and Search Console set up from day one, product and category pages built to rank, and product schema so Google shows your price and stock in the results.

What We Do & What We Don't

What We Do

Everything between a product photo and money in your account:

  • E-commerce website design and development
  • Mobile Money and card checkout integration
  • Inventory, variants and stock management
  • Delivery zones, shipping rates and order tracking
  • WhatsApp order alerts and customer automation
  • Product photography and image optimisation
  • Hosting, domain, SSL, backups and maintenance
  • Store analytics, product schema and SEO setup

What We Don't Do

Running the shop is still your job:

  • Warehousing, packing or fulfilment
  • Courier or dispatch rider services
  • Holding or processing your money — payouts go straight to you
  • Answering your customer service messages day to day

See everything we don't take on

We build the shop and hand you the keys — the domain, the hosting, the payment account and the admin login are all in your name. Once it is live, SEO and paid ads bring people to it, Media keeps the product shots coming, and we stay on for maintenance if you want it. If you are not sure a full store is what you need yet, a one-page shop with a WhatsApp checkout is a cheaper place to start and we will say so.

Response & Delivery Times

How fast we reply, and when the work lands.

WhatsApp & phone

Instant

Tell us what you sell and roughly how many products. Mon–Sat, 8am–7pm.

Email

Instant

Send a product list or a link to your current page.

Product photography

Same day

First edited shots back the same day as the shoot.

Store live

Under a month

Brief to live store. Large catalogues and custom features sit at the longer end.

A standard store — a few dozen products, MoMo and card checkout, delivery zones — goes live in under a month from an approved brief. What usually holds it up is product photos and descriptions, so we shoot them ourselves to keep it moving. See every turnaround time.

Online Stores in Ghana: Common Questions

What business owners ask before building an online shop.

How much does an online store cost in Ghana? +
It depends on how many products you have and what the checkout needs to do. A simple catalogue with MoMo checkout costs far less than a multi-vendor store with delivery zones and inventory sync. Message us on WhatsApp (0544 157 166) with a rough product count and we will quote the same day. Payment is typically 50% upfront and 50% on delivery.
Can the store accept Mobile Money? +
Yes. MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AirtelTigo Money alongside Visa and Mastercard, through a Ghanaian payment gateway. The money settles into your own merchant account — we never hold customer payments.
How long does it take to build? +
Under a month from an approved brief for a standard catalogue. Bigger stores with custom features take longer, and we give you a date before we start rather than after.
Do you use Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build? +
Whichever costs you least to run over the next three years. Shopify is quickest to launch but charges monthly; WooCommerce is cheaper long-term but needs maintenance; a custom build makes sense when your process is unusual. We will recommend one and explain the trade-off rather than defaulting to whatever we like building.
Do you take a commission on my sales? +
No. You pay for the build, and the sales are yours. The only ongoing costs are your hosting, domain and whatever your payment gateway charges per transaction — all of which we show you before you commit.
Can you take the product photos too? +
Yes, in-house. Product and e-commerce photography is part of our Media division, so the store launches with proper shots instead of phone pictures on a bedsheet.
Will the store show up on Google? +
It is built to: clean URLs, product schema, fast loading, and Search Console configured at launch. Ranking still takes work after that — our SEO service handles the ongoing side if you want it.
Who owns the store when it is finished? +
You do. The domain, hosting, payment account and admin access are registered in your name, and we hand over the logins at launch. If you ever stop working with us, nothing switches off.
