E-commerce Development

Online stores built to be finished

A store with M-Pesa and card checkout, stock that stays accurate, and a buying journey designed so customers complete the order rather than abandon it. Compare this specialist scope with Duara Dev's broader web development services and packages.

Who it is for

About E-commerce Development

Businesses selling products in Kenya (retail, wholesale, distribution), who need orders to arrive reliably rather than as screenshots on WhatsApp.

Problems it solves

  • Card-only checkout that loses Kenyan customers at the last step
  • Payments reconciled by hand against screenshots
  • Stock counts that drift out of line with reality
  • A catalogue nobody can search or filter properly

What you get

  • M-Pesa checkout confirmed automatically and matched to the order
  • Stock that updates as orders come in
  • A catalogue built to be browsed and searched
  • Test orders run end to end before launch

Development process

How we work

The same seven stages on every project, so you always know which one you are in.

1

Discovery

We establish what you need, who it is for and what success looks like.

2

Planning

Scope, structure and schedule agreed in writing before work begins.

3

UI/UX design

Layouts and the journey through them, reviewed before anything is built.

4

Development

Built in reviewable stages rather than delivered as a surprise at the end.

5

Testing

Real devices and real conditions, with fixes before anyone else sees it.

6

Deployment

Taken live carefully, with the checks that stop a launch going wrong.

7

Support

A support window after launch, and ongoing management if you want it.

Why us

Why Choose Duara Dev

12 years of experience

Twelve years building for businesses in Kenya. Long enough to have seen what fails, and why, before it happens to your project.

SEO-focused development

Search is designed in from the first page rather than bolted on afterwards: structure, speed, indexing and mobile handling are part of the build.

Built to market

Pages built around what you actually need people to do, with the tracking in place to tell you whether they did it.

Ongoing support

Launch is not the end of the relationship. There is a support window after go-live and a real person to reach afterwards.

Complete website management

Maintenance, managed hosting, domain management and updates handled in one place, by the team that built the site.

E-commerce Development FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an online store cost?

The E-commerce package is KSh 90,000 and covers a complete store: catalogue, stock, M-Pesa and card checkout, and order handling. Larger or more unusual builds are quoted after a scoping call.

Do you integrate M-Pesa?

Yes, and it is part of the package rather than an extra. For Kenyan customers M-Pesa checkout is usually the difference between a completed order and an abandoned one.

How many products can I have?

There is no hard limit. What affects the build is how the catalogue is structured (variants, categories and how customers need to search it), more than the raw count.

How long does a store take?

Four to eight weeks. Catalogues take real time to load and structure, and payment integration has to be tested with actual test transactions end to end before launch.

Can I manage orders myself?

Yes. You are trained at handover on adding products, adjusting stock and processing orders, so day-to-day running does not need us.
