Kenya has over 22 million internet users and M-Pesa processes billions of shillings daily. An e-commerce website lets you sell 24/7, reach customers beyond your physical location, and reduce overhead costs. Businesses that went online during and after COVID-19 saw significant revenue growth.
Your online store should include: a product catalog with search and filters, a shopping cart and checkout flow, M-Pesa STK Push payment, order management and notifications, mobile-responsive design (most Kenyans shop on phones), and an admin dashboard to manage products and orders.
M-Pesa is non-negotiable for Kenyan e-commerce. Customers expect to pay via M-Pesa at checkout. TechGs integrates Safaricom's Daraja API to enable seamless STK Push payments — the customer enters their phone number, receives a prompt, enters their PIN, and the order is confirmed automatically.
A basic online store in Kenya starts from around KES 40,000 and can go up to KES 200,000+ for a fully custom solution with advanced features. The cost depends on the number of products, payment integrations, and custom functionality. TechGs offers scalable packages — see our pricing for details.
TechGs builds fast, secure, mobile-first e-commerce websites for Kenyan businesses — complete with M-Pesa integration, inventory management, and SEO optimization. Get in touch today and we'll have your store live in weeks, not months.
