Open an Online Store for Your Business

Building a website from scratch is expensive and slow, and most small businesses do not need one to start selling. With a BizConnectHubs store you get a shop page attached to your business profile, ready to share as a link on WhatsApp, Facebook or a printed flyer.

Adding products is straightforward. Each product has a name, description, price and photo, so customers see exactly what they are buying. Restaurants and takeaways can publish a menu instead, and service businesses can publish a price list so customers know what to expect before they call.

When a customer places an order, it lands in your dashboard with their name, contact number, the items they chose, and whether they want delivery or collection. You confirm it, then move it through processing, shipped and delivered so both sides can see where things stand. Customers can follow the same status from their own orders page, which cuts down on "where is my order" messages.

Delivery is handled on your terms. You can charge a delivery fee, offer collection at no charge, or do both and let the customer choose at checkout. Orders that need a driver can be pushed through the platform's delivery request flow.

For payments you can take payment on delivery or collection, or connect a South African payment gateway such as PayFast, PayGate or Paystack to your profile so customers pay online before you dispatch. Your gateway keys are stored separately from your public profile and are never shown to customers.

Everything sits in the same dashboard as your enquiries and bookings, so you are not switching between tools. If you already have a listing, switching the store on takes a few minutes.
