Online stores built
to sell and scale.
RD Digital builds WooCommerce websites for South African businesses needing more than a basic online shop.
Payments. Orders. Subscriptions. Growth.
Who our WooCommerce builds are designed for
We work with South African businesses that need an ecommerce solution built around their actual operations — not a template that happens to sell online.
Selling tangible goods that require inventory management, shipping logic, fulfilment tracking and customer communication after purchase.
Monthly box services, subscription software, recurring orders and membership access requiring automated billing and renewal workflows.
Supplement brands, pharmacies, natural health businesses and wellness services that need compliant, professional ecommerce infrastructure.
Tour operators, lodges and travel agencies needing deposit payments, itinerary-based bookings and flexible package management.
Consultants, agencies and service providers selling sessions, retainers, digital products or access to services through an online storefront.
Online stores that have outgrown their current setup and need a developer-built WooCommerce solution that can scale with their growth.
Everything your store needs to operate from day one.
Every WooCommerce build includes the core infrastructure required to accept payments, manage orders and support your customers — configured for your business.
Your store should become infrastructure.
A WooCommerce store built correctly isn’t a once-off project. It’s the foundation your business processes orders through, generates recurring revenue from and grows on top of. We build with that in mind from day one.
The stores we build are configured to track customer lifetime value, encourage repeat purchases and support subscription billing — not just handle single transactions.
Structured order flows with status updates, fulfilment tracking and customer notifications.
Recurring billing, renewal management and subscriber retention built in from the start.
Connect WooCommerce to analytics so you can see where revenue comes from and where it is lost.
Repeat purchase flows, loyalty logic and re-engagement tools to increase the value of every customer.
Automated follow-up, winback sequences and post-purchase flows that keep customers returning.
Built to handle growth in product volume, order volume and complexity without rebuilding from scratch.
We build stores for a wide range of ecommerce models.
WooCommerce is flexible enough to support many different ecommerce models. We configure and extend it to match your specific business requirements.
Traditional product catalogue with cart, checkout and payment gateway integration.
Recurring billing, plan management and subscriber-only content or product access.
Gated access to content, courses or community features tied to a paid membership plan.
Split payment flows for high-value products, bookings or bespoke orders requiring a deposit.
Itinerary-based packages with variable pricing, departure dates and optional add-ons.
Appointment, event or resource booking with calendar integration and confirmation workflows.
Trade pricing tiers, minimum order quantities and account-based purchasing for B2B businesses.
Bespoke checkout logic, custom product configurators and integrated backend systems for complex operations.
South African payment gateways and shipping logic, built in.
We integrate the payment gateways and shipping methods your customers already use — configured for the South African market from the start.
Online stores require ongoing support.
A WooCommerce store isn’t a one-time build. Plugins update, payment gateways change, products need managing and performance requires monitoring. We offer structured post-launch support to keep your store running reliably.
Regular WordPress and WooCommerce core updates, plugin updates and compatibility testing to prevent breaking changes.
Ecommerce-grade hosting via Hostlynx with resources sized appropriately for store traffic and order volume.
Active monitoring of your store with alerts for downtime, payment failures and performance degradation.
Regular security scans, firewall monitoring and malware removal to protect your store and customer data.
Daily backups with off-site storage so your product catalogue, orders and customer data are always recoverable.
Access to developer support for changes, fixes, new features and urgent issues that arise after launch.
