Getting your online store right

An online store works best when it is built around how your customers actually shop. Start with a focused product range, make checkout as short as possible and offer the payment methods your customers already use, including M-Pesa.

• Show stock availability and delivery costs before checkout.
• Send order confirmations by SMS or email so customers know what happens next.
• Use your sales data to understand best-selling products and plan stock.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a physical shop to sell online?

No. Many businesses run entirely online and handle delivery directly or through courier partners.

How do I get customers to my new store?

Combine search engine optimisation, social media and targeted ads, and encourage happy customers to leave reviews and share your store.

Is an online store secure for my customers?

It can be. Use HTTPS, a reputable payment provider and regular software updates, and never store card details on your own server.
