Shopify agency for Ouagadougou brands
Shopify stores for Ouagadougou’s artisans, cloth weavers and shea makers, with mobile money checkout and fast delivery across the capital.
Shopify development and growth for Ouagadougou brands
Ouagadougou is Burkina Faso’s capital and its cultural centre. It hosts FESPACO, Africa’s best-known film festival, and SIAO, the international arts and crafts fair that brings buyers from across the continent. The Village Artisanal and the city’s bronze foundries keep traditional crafts alive, while tailors and designers turn Faso Dan Fani cloth into modern fashion. Young residents are active on Facebook and WhatsApp and increasingly buy online.
We work with Ouagadougou brands remotely, with calls in your morning and short written updates that are easy to follow on a phone. Common projects include French-language stores for fashion and craft brands, mobile money checkout through an aggregator, motorbike delivery within the city and export storefronts for customers in France and the diaspora.
What Ouagadougou brands need from their store
Bronze and handmade crafts
The city’s bronze casters and artisans make sculptures, jewellery and decorative pieces using lost-wax techniques. We present each piece with its maker and process, and set up safe packaging and shipping for heavy or fragile items.
Faso Dan Fani fashion
Designers turn hand-woven Faso Dan Fani into shirts, dresses and accessories. We build stores with size guides, made-to-order options and clear lead times, so customers abroad know when tailored items will be ready.
Festival and fair buyers
FESPACO and SIAO bring visitors and trade buyers to the city. We help brands capture these contacts, follow up by email and WhatsApp and set up wholesale ordering for buyers who want to restock after the event.
