Best online store builder for South African small businesses

Most store builders give you a website, then send you to an app store for the rest. ShopEazy was built for South African small and medium businesses: your shop, till, tickets, bookings, payments and delivery in one account, priced in rands.

One account instead of five apps

• Online store. 10 looks, 8 starting designs by type of business, pages built from blocks. Or tell us about your shop and we lay out the home page for you.
• Till. Sell at the counter on an iPad. Works offline.
• Tickets. Early bird to VIP, with QR tickets scanned at the door on any phone.
• Bookings and tours. Clients pick a real time and pay upfront. A slot can't be booked twice. Tours get departures, seats and fares by age.
• Members-only selling. A private shop or a wholesale price list only approved buyers can see.

Products, services, tickets and tours all live in one shop, on every plan.

Get paid, in rands

• Nine South African gateways, plus EFT. Yoco, iKhokha, Peach Payments, Payfast, SnapScan, PayGate, Ozow, Stitch and Paystack. Cards, Capitec Pay, Instant EFT and pay by bank, depending on the gateway.
• Straight to your bank. Use your own account. We never hold your money.
• Money hub. Every sale, refund and courier cost in one ledger.

Deliver from the order

• The Courier Guy door to door, PUDO lockers on a map at checkout, or your own delivery zones.
• Live prices at checkout. Book the courier from the order and print every waybill in one PDF.

Grow

• Get found on Google, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, on every plan.
• Bring them back. Baskets chased for you, emails to your customers and a spot on shopeazy.co (Growth and Scale).
• Run your shop from ChatGPT or Claude. Add a product, book the couriers, make a discount code, plan a week of posts, shoot product photos or a promo reel, all from a chat.
• Ask ShopEazy. Stuck? Type or talk, in your language, and it shows you where.

How ShopEazy compares

Shopify bills in US dollars (Basic is US$25 a month, about R420 today). Shopify Payments isn't available in South Africa, so it adds 2% per sale on Basic when you use a local gateway. ShopEazy is priced in rands, and the till, tickets, bookings and couriers above are part of your plan.

Wix is a website builder first, with selling on its paid plans. ShopEazy is a shop first.

WooCommerce is free, but you pay for hosting, a theme and plugins, and you or a developer keep it updated. ShopEazy is ready in an afternoon, and we look after it.
