M-Pesa & Payments

Checkout That Fits How Kenyans Pay

Kenyans pay with M-Pesa. If your WooCommerce store doesn't make M-Pesa the easiest option, you're losing sales at checkout. We build payment flows that just work.

  • M-Pesa STK Push, Paybill, and Till Number support
  • Custom WooCommerce payment gateway plugin
  • Card payments (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, and wallets
  • Pesapal, Flutterwave, and DPO integrations
  • Automated payment confirmation and receipts
  • Reconciliation with your finance stack

Why WooCommerce

WooCommerce vs Hosted Platforms

Both paths work. WooCommerce wins when you want control, flexibility, and long-term ownership of your online store.

Feature WooCommerce Hosted Platforms
Ownership You own the code & data Platform owns the stack
Customisation Unlimited Limited by platform
Cost Structure Fixed hosting + plugins Monthly SaaS + transaction fees
SEO Full control (Yoast, Rank Math, schema) Limited to platform features
M-Pesa Integration Custom gateways Constrained to official plugins
Scalability Scales with hosting Scales with SaaS tier costs
Best For Brands wanting long-term control Simple stores and quick launches
By The Numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

WooCommerce & WordPress Ecommerce FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from Kenyan businesses.

How much does WooCommerce development cost in Nairobi?
WooCommerce development in Nairobi typically ranges from KES 180,000 for a focused store build to KES 2,000,000+ for custom themes, plugins, and complex integrations like M-Pesa and ERP. Pricing depends on scope, design complexity, and integrations. Techhold Developers provides fixed-scope proposals after a free discovery call.
Can you integrate M-Pesa into WooCommerce?
Yes. Techhold Developers integrates M-Pesa (STK Push, Paybill, Till Number) into WooCommerce stores using custom payment gateway plugins — with automated payment confirmation, order updates, and reconciliation.
Do you build custom WooCommerce themes and plugins?
Yes. We build fully custom WooCommerce themes using modern WordPress standards, plus custom plugins for functionality that no off-the-shelf plugin can deliver — all tuned for speed, mobile-first UX, and conversion.
How long does it take to build a WooCommerce store?
A focused WooCommerce store build typically takes 4–8 weeks. Custom theme builds with complex integrations take 8–14 weeks. Migrations from other platforms take a similar timeframe, and we preserve SEO throughout.
Can you migrate my store to WooCommerce from Shopify or Magento?
Yes. We migrate stores from Shopify, Magento, Wix, and custom platforms to WooCommerce — preserving products, customers, orders, and SEO. Every migration includes a full redirect strategy to protect your existing rankings.
Will my WooCommerce store be fast?
Yes. Speed is one of the reasons we build custom. Every WooCommerce store we ship targets sub-2-second load times with proper hosting, caching, image optimization, and code-level performance tuning.
Who owns the theme and plugin code after development?
You do. Upon final payment, all custom theme and plugin code belongs to you. We hand over all repositories, documentation, and hosting access.
Do you provide ongoing WooCommerce support?
Yes. We offer monthly support retainers covering security, updates, backups, new features, CRO, SEO, and SLA-based support. WooCommerce stores need ongoing care — we're here for the long term.
Do you work with businesses outside Nairobi?
Yes. We deliver WooCommerce and WordPress eCommerce services to businesses across Kenya — including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Thika — and internationally. All work is delivered remotely with regular video reviews and shared dashboards.
