Why We Developed ShopMaster
There are a number of ways to sell online, but over the years we realised that people are looking for a simple-to-operate product. This means a software solution that allows them to catalogue their wares quickly and easily and receive secure, reliable transactions. We have, therefore, developed this product on the following principles:
- Value!
With the level of infrastructure and experience we offer - including designers, developers and technical staff - the value we provide is simply not attainable anywhere else at the fees we charge – not even close.
- Usability!
With a strong focus on getting the job done simply and quickly, the system allows for the easy addition of new products, category pages and merchandising areas. With very little effort, you can load products, define options, assign images and categorise them.
- Simplicity!
There are no hidden costs, no binding contracts and creating an account with us is quick and easy. You can sign up directly on the ShopMaster site - where you start by choosing a theme - give us ‘a shout’ or send us an email. We will respond rapidly and within a very short space of time you’ll be up and running.
- Complete Solution!
With a ShopMaster theme you don't need to find a web host or work with designers. The system includes all the tools required to catalogue and sell your products online.
- Support!
As a ShopMaster client, you will receive reliable and professional technical support during office hours (GMT+2) via email or telephone.
We pride ourselves on being the leading specialists in the eCommerce industry in South Africa. We bring you an online shop-front platform that has the potential for you to be the master of your sales and join the world of eCommerce!
