E-commerce Development
Launch and scale your online business with Tukoweb Solutions. We build powerful e-commerce platforms optimized for the Kenyan market, with seamless M-Pesa integration, mobile-first design, and features that drive sales.
Kenya's e-commerce market is growing faster than almost any other sector in the economy. Smartphone penetration, M-Pesa's ubiquity, and increasing consumer confidence in online shopping have created a genuine opportunity for businesses that move quickly. But many Kenyan businesses launch online stores and then struggle. Not because demand is not there, but because their platform is too slow on mobile, their checkout breaks on 3G, or customers abandon their cart the moment they see a confusing payment screen. We build e-commerce solutions that are designed from day one to convert Kenyan buyers.
M-Pesa integration is not just a feature we add. It is central to how we architect every e-commerce project. We implement the full Daraja API stack: STK Push for seamless mobile checkout, Paybill for manual payments, B2C for instant refunds, and real-time payment reconciliation so your finance team always knows exactly what came in and from where. We also integrate Pesapal, Airtel Money, Equity EazzyPay, DPO PayGroup, and card gateways — because not every customer pays with M-Pesa, and you should never lose a sale due to a missing payment option.
We build on platforms chosen to match your budget and growth stage. For businesses needing speed to market, WooCommerce and Shopify with custom Kenyan payment plugins get you live in weeks. For high-growth ventures, marketplaces, or B2B portals that need custom logic such as bulk ordering, trade credit, custom pricing per customer, multi-warehouse inventory — we build fully bespoke platforms on Next.js and Node.js that have no ceiling on what they can do. Every store we ship loads in under three seconds on 4G, scores above 90 on Google PageSpeed, and is fully optimised for SEO so Google can find your products.
