Every build excludes third-party running costs, which you pay directly: your Shopify plan, domain, payment gateway transaction fees, courier charges per parcel and any paid apps. We set these up for you and recommend the cheapest option that fits — no markup, no commission.
Every ecommerce business is different. Final pricing depends on scope, integrations, product volume, and custom functionality requirements.
Catalogue Expansion Pricing
Adding products beyond your package's included count — priced by how much preparation each batch needs
Every package includes a set number of products, fully structured and configured for launch. If your catalogue is larger, additional products are added progressively after launch — so you're not paying for your full catalogue before you can go live.
The rate applied depends on how complete the product information is when it's supplied to us.
- R120 / product — Standard — information (stories, images, pricing, variants) supplied in a ready-to-implement format
- R150 / product — Hands-on — information is incomplete and requires sourcing, organising, or preparation before it can go live
- R200 / product — Copywriting — new product descriptions must be written from scratch, rather than structuring supplied content
Flexible Payment Plans Available
Start your ecommerce journey without paying the full project fee upfront
At NexCommerce - Digital, we offer flexible payment arrangements for Shopify website development projects — so that cost doesn't have to be the barrier between you and a professional online store.
All payment plans are subject to approval and are governed by a formal written agreement before any work begins.
- Payment schedule & duration — structured instalments agreed upfront so you always know what's due and when
- Project scope & deliverables — the full scope is locked in writing before work begins, with no scope creep surprises
- Ownership transfer on final payment — full store ownership and assets transfer to you only upon receipt of the final payment
- Formal agreement required — all plans require a signed agreement before commencement
Platforms
Beyond Shopify —
The Right Platform for the Job
Shopify is where we go deepest, and for most brands it is what we recommend. But the platform should follow the business, not the other way round.
Some businesses need control a hosted platform will not give them: custom checkout logic, wholesale pricing tiers per customer group, unusual fulfilment rules, or a product category that a global acceptable use policy excludes regardless of local law. For those we build on WooCommerce, self-hosted, and maintain it properly afterwards.
WooCommerce Development
Self-hosted stores with custom commerce logic, wholesale and membership systems, age gating and verification where the category needs it. Builds from R14,500.
WooCommerce Development →Shopify vs WooCommerce
An honest comparison of the two for South African merchants — costs, payment gateways, couriers, and the situations where the choice is made for you.
Compare the Platforms →Platform Migration
Either direction, with products, customers, order history and media carried across — and URL mapping with 301 redirects handled properly. From R12,500.

NexCommerce · a Digital Commerce Studio
Alternative Engagement Model
No Budget? Let's Build Together.
For the right brands, we invest in your success — not just your store.
NexCommerce operates a selective revenue participation programme — an alternative engagement model where, in place of standard project fees, we agree on a percentage of ecommerce revenue generated through the store we build and manage for you.
This isn't for everyone. We take on a limited number of revenue participation clients per year and are selective about the brands we partner with — assessing product-market fit, growth potential, and founding team commitment before committing our resources.
If you have a strong brand and product but limited capital to invest upfront, we'd like to hear from you.
What we look for
- A proven or clearly viable product — with real market demand and existing or imminent customers
- An ambitious founder with skin in the game — committed to growing the business, not just the website
- A realistic path to meaningful revenue — we look for brands with clear growth potential and a defined target market
- Full transparency on sales data — our partnership requires open access to revenue reporting throughout the arrangement
- Formal agreement required — all revenue participation arrangements are governed by a signed legal agreement before any work begins
