Shopify development and growth for Maputo brands

Maputo is Mozambique’s capital and main commercial centre, a port city on the Indian Ocean close to the South African border. It has the country’s highest concentration of online shoppers, many international organisations and a creative scene of designers, artists and food businesses. Capulana fabric is used in fashion and accessories, seafood and cashews are local specialities, and the city’s markets sell carvings and crafts from across the country.

We work with Maputo businesses remotely, with calls in your morning and daily written updates. Typical projects include Portuguese storefronts, M-Pesa and cash-on-delivery checkout, delivery zones covering Maputo and Matola, WhatsApp ordering links and English storefronts for selling crafts and fashion to visitors and buyers abroad, plus simple reports on what sells.

What Maputo brands need from their store

Capulana fashion and accessories

Maputo designers turn capulana prints into clothing, bags and accessories. We build product pages that show patterns clearly, offer size and fabric choices and present the story behind each collection.

Crafts for visitors and buyers abroad

Carvings, baskets and art sold in Maputo’s markets appeal to tourists and collectors. We set up English storefronts and international shipping so visitors can buy again after returning home, with tracking on every parcel.

Delivery across Maputo and Matola

We set delivery zones and prices for Maputo neighbourhoods and Matola, with fields for landmarks and phone numbers, and send order details straight to your drivers or courier through WhatsApp or email.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Maputo?

No. Our team works remotely from India and serves Maputo businesses through video calls, a shared project board and a staging store for approvals. Calls are held in your morning, with written updates in between.

Can customers pay by M-Pesa when ordering online?

Yes, using a manual payment method. Customers see your M-Pesa instructions at checkout, pay from their phone and the order is confirmed when payment arrives. We automate the messages so customers know exactly what to do and when the order ships.

Can visitors to Maputo order crafts after they leave?

Yes. We add an English storefront, international currencies and tracked shipping options. Visitors can find you through a card or QR code in your shop and reorder favourite pieces from home, with delivery costs shown before they pay.
