Our services
E-commerce
An online shop that makes it easy for customers to browse, pay and order from any device.
What it is
An online shop lets you sell around the clock instead of only when your doors are open. We build a store around your products, with a clear catalogue, a simple checkout and secure payments through a South African payment provider, so customers can pay by card or instant EFT.
Behind the scenes you get one place to manage products, stock and orders, and you are alerted to every new order by email and WhatsApp. We set up delivery and collection options so customers see exactly what they will pay before they check out.
In plain English: An online shop where customers can browse your products, pay securely and place an order at any time of day.

How it works
How we deliver it, step by step.
Scope
We agree what you sell, how many products to start with and how delivery and collection will work.
Design and set-up
We design the store, load your products and connect your payment provider.
Test orders
We place test orders from payment to confirmation, so everything is proven before it goes live.
Launch and training
The shop goes live, and we show you how to add products, track stock and handle orders.
Before we start
What we need from you, and what to know.
What we need from you
- Product names, descriptions, prices and photos
- Your delivery areas, courier choices and delivery fees
- An account with a payment provider (we guide you, and the provider may ask for business documents)
- Your returns and refund policy
Good to know
- Payment providers charge a fee on each transaction. That fee is paid to the provider and is not part of our price.
- Courier and delivery costs are set by you or your courier, not by TechNest.
- Approval for a payment account is decided by the provider, and it can take time.
- Product photography and writing descriptions for a large catalogue are not included unless quoted.
Common questions
Questions about E-commerce.
Card and instant EFT through a South African payment provider. We confirm the exact options with you when we choose the provider.
No. Many shops start with a handful of products and grow. We build the store so you can add more later.
You receive an email and a WhatsApp notification for each order, and the customer receives a confirmation as well.
