A VISUAL WAY TO BUILD

Create a shopfront you’re proud to share.

Build the pages around your store visually: a welcoming homepage, your brand story and campaign landing pages. WooCommerce provides the shopping tools.

Drag an Image widget into your layout
Drag an Image widget into your layout

Actual publisher screenshots. Editor versions and available tools may differ; the Elementor examples demonstrate the Image widget available in Elementor Free.

  1. 1

    Start with a layout

    Open a page in Elementor and begin with a blank layout or an available free template.

  2. 2

    Drag in your content

    Add headings, text, images and buttons. Arrange the page visually instead of writing page code.

  3. 3

    Give it your own style

    Change colours, fonts and spacing. Use your own photos and clear wording to make the page feel like your business.

  4. 4

    Preview, then publish

    Check the desktop, tablet and phone views. Refine the layout and publish when you are happy with it.

Elementor Free designs your pages

Create your homepage, About page and promotional landing pages with headings, pictures, text and buttons.

WooCommerce runs the shopping

Manage products, stock, cart, checkout and orders. Your theme and WooCommerce settings control the store layouts.

Elementor Free is included with SELL / E-COMMERCE. Its visual page editor does not include Elementor Pro’s WooCommerce template builder. Advanced store-template editing may need a separate paid tool.

PAYMENTS & DELIVERY. MADE FOR SOUTH AFRICA.

Your e-commerce store. Local ways to pay and deliver.

Give customers familiar payment choices and delivery options that suit their address, schedule and budget. Connect your preferred services to WooCommerce.

Payment gateways and payment options for South Africa

Choose the providers and payment methods that fit your business. A merchant account, provider approval, compatible integration and configuration are required. Transaction fees and any service charges are separate from hosting.

LOCKER & PICKUP OPTIONS

Let them collect with pudo.

Offer a locker collection choice with pudo / The Courier Guy Lockers. Arrange your account and supported store integration with the provider, then configure eligible lockers and parcel sizes.

Pargo, PAXI, Bob Box and PostNet are other pickup options to consider. Booking and checkout integration depend on the service you choose.

More South African courier and delivery networks

A shipping platform such as Bob Go connects WooCommerce to its supported courier partners for quotes, waybills and tracking. Other carriers may need a direct account, a compatible connector or separate bookings.

Carrier coverage, collection points, rates and integration support vary. Confirm your selected service before enabling it at checkout. Provider accounts, courier charges and optional software subscriptions are separate; SELL / E-COMMERCE does not include these services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Why does SELL / E-COMMERCE cost more than BUILD?

BUILD prepares WordPress and Elementor Free for a standard website. SELL / E-COMMERCE adds WooCommerce preparation for an e-commerce store environment. You customise and operate the store in both cases.

Will WH4SA add my products and design my store?

No. WH4SA prepares the hosting and software starting point. You create the store design, product catalogue, photographs, pricing, delivery arrangements and business policies.

Are payment transaction fees included in R149?

No. Payment-gateway accounts, approval and transaction charges are separate from WH4SA hosting. Check the provider’s current requirements and charges before connecting it.

Can Elementor Free customise every part of my store?

Elementor Free supports visual page building within the free edition’s features. Specialist shop, product and checkout layouts depend on your theme, WooCommerce and any separately chosen extensions.

Who handles delivery and orders?

You arrange delivery, configure shipping choices, fulfil orders and respond to customers. The hosting package provides the environment for your store.

Can you help move an existing WooCommerce store?

Contact us before moving so we can discuss the database, product images, current orders, email and payment integrations. Migration scope and any charges are confirmed separately.
