Ecommerce Development

Checkout conversion is the single biggest leak in most Nigerian ecommerce stores. The pattern is consistent - buyers add items to cart at competitive rates but abandon at checkout because the flow is too long, the address fields are confusing, the payment options do not include their preferred method, or trust signals are weak. Fixing these issues typically lifts conversion fifteen to thirty percent on the same traffic. The work is unglamorous - reducing field counts, supporting payment method diversity (Paystack, Flutterwave, USSD, bank transfer, Pay on Delivery for appropriate categories), implementing trust badges, optimising for mobile keyboard friction. We treat this layer as core engineering rather than afterthought.

Nigerian last-mile logistics has improved substantially but remains operationally complex. Multiple carriers serve different geographies at different reliability levels; same-day delivery in Lagos involves different operators than next-day delivery to Calabar; cash on delivery requires specific carrier capability. Stores benefit from logistics integration that surfaces the right carrier per order rather than forcing one carrier across all geographies. We integrate carrier APIs to handle this routing.

Marketplace integration considerations apply to brands selling both via their own store and via Jumia or Konga. Inventory synchronisation, pricing consistency and order routing across channels matter for operational coherence. We design and integrate to support multi-channel selling rather than treating own-store and marketplace as separate operations.

Subscription commerce capabilities support recurring-revenue business models. Building proper subscription management - billing cycles, retry logic, dunning, upgrade and downgrade flows - requires deliberate architecture from the start rather than retrofit.

Tax and compliance handling for Nigerian VAT and emerging digital services tax frameworks requires proper architecture. Stores must capture and remit correctly across the jurisdictions where they operate.

Headless commerce architectures separate frontend presentation from backend commerce engine. This separation supports omnichannel selling - same backend powering web store, mobile app and marketplace integrations. We design headless when the business model warrants the additional complexity.

Storefront speed optimisation across product listings, search and category pages requires sustained engineering investment beyond initial build. Brands committed to performance treat speed as ongoing discipline.
