Ecommerce Website Development

Launch a powerful online store with M-Pesa integration, intuitive product management, and a conversion-optimized shopping experience that turns browsers into buyers.

What Is Ecommerce Development?

Ecommerce development is the process of building online stores that enable businesses to sell products and services over the internet. At Zurihub Technology, we create complete ecommerce ecosystems — from product catalog and shopping cart to secure checkout and order fulfillment — designed to maximize your online revenue.

Our ecommerce solutions are built for the Kenyan and East African market, with native M-Pesa integration, mobile-first design (over 80% of Kenyan shoppers browse on mobile), and optimized checkout flows that minimize cart abandonment. We use platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom-built solutions depending on your needs.

Whether you sell physical products, digital downloads, subscriptions, or services, we architect an online store that handles everything from product display and inventory management to payment processing, shipping calculations, and customer loyalty programs.
