Shopify Consulting for Kenyan Brands
Kenya's fastest-growing DTC brands run on Shopify — but most leave revenue on the table through poor theme choices, missing M-Pesa integration, and Western checkout flows. We fix that.
Call a consultantIs your Shopify store built for Kenyan buyers?
Broken M-Pesa Flows
Manual M-Pesa instructions cause massive drop-offs. Customers don't trust clunky payment processes.
Slow Mobile Themes
85%+ of your traffic is on mobile. If your theme takes 4 seconds to load on Safaricom 4G, they are bouncing.
Checkout Friction
Shopify's default checkout doesn't account for Nairobi delivery zones naturally. You need customisation.
