Shopify agency for Gaborone brands
Shopify development for Gaborone’s fashion, beauty, jewellery and food brands, selling to the capital’s young professionals and to customers across Botswana.
Shopify development and growth for Gaborone brands
Gaborone is Botswana’s capital and its largest consumer market, with government offices, the University of Botswana and a young, professional population that shops in malls such as Game City and Airport Junction and increasingly on their phones. The city is also a global diamond centre, hosting De Beers’ rough diamond sales, which supports a small cutting and jewellery sector. Local fashion designers, beauty brands and food producers are building followings on Facebook and Instagram.
We work with Gaborone brands remotely, with calls in your morning, our afternoon. Typical projects include stores with local cards, mobile money and EFT, same-day delivery and pickup within the city, jewellery stores with detailed product media and fashion stores that turn social media attention into orders you can track and repeat.
What Gaborone brands need from their store
Young professionals online
Gaborone’s workforce shops on mobile during lunch breaks and evenings. We build fast, simple stores with clear prices, size guides and easy payment, so customers can order in a few taps on any phone.
Diamonds and jewellery
Jewellers working with local or ethically sourced stones need trust above all. We present certificates, sourcing information, sizing and high-quality photos and video, and add secure, insured delivery options for valuable pieces.
Local designers and beauty brands
Gaborone designers and natural beauty brands often sell through social media and pop-up events. We connect Shopify to Facebook and Instagram shopping and use Shopify POS at markets so stock stays accurate everywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Gaborone?
No. Our team works remotely from India and supports Gaborone brands through video calls in your morning, a shared project board and a staging store for approvals. Written updates arrive before your working day ends.
Can we offer pickup and same-day delivery in Gaborone?
Yes. We set up pickup from your shop or studio and a local delivery zone with its own rates and cut-off times for same-day orders. Customers in other towns automatically see courier options with longer delivery times.
Can we sell at markets and online with the same stock?
Yes. Shopify POS runs on a phone or tablet at markets and pop-ups, using the same inventory as your online store. Sales update stock instantly, so you never sell online something that just sold at a stall.
