Plan Your Offer and Categories

Prepare Payment and Checkout
South African stores should consider payment options such as Yoco, PayFast, Ozow or card checkout depending on the platform and business model.
Set Up Policies
Your store should include terms, privacy, refunds, shipping or service delivery policies, contact details and POPIA-conscious data handling.
Mobile Checkout Matters
