Support

Need help with a store, product pages or orders? SellThat gives informal traders practical support for setting up and running simple online shops that work for South African customers. From Soweto to Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and Gqeberha, the focus is on clear setup, useful training and steady help when things need attention.

A proper hand on the tiller

Running an online store is easier when the steps are clear. Our support covers the everyday parts that matter most to informal traders, spaza shops and home businesses: adding products, sorting prices, setting up WhatsApp orders and shaping delivery details that make sense for local buyers.

In Soweto, Alexandra, Tembisa and across Johannesburg, many traders want a store that is easy to update on a phone and simple to share with customers. That is the kind of setup help we focus on, with guidance that stays practical and affordable.

Store setup help for busy traders

If you are starting fresh or fixing an existing catalogue, support can be hands-on. We help with the parts that often slow people down, from the first product listing to the last check before a page goes live.

  • Store Setup for a clean starting layout
  • Product Upload Help for items, sizes and variants
  • Catalogue Rebuild when old pages need sorting out
  • Home Page Refresh for a clearer front page
  • Store Content Writing for headings, product text and notices

That support suits traders in Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and Gqeberha too, where customers may shop on mobile data and want quick answers before placing an order.

Photos, pricing and product pages that make sense

Good product pages do not need fancy language. They need clear photos, simple pricing and enough detail for a customer to understand what they are buying. Ayanda Kotze helps with photo guidance, while the support team can show you how to arrange pricing pages so they are neat and easy to scan.

  • Photo Guidance for clean product pictures
  • Pricing Page Help for clear amounts and labels
  • Store Content Writing for short, useful descriptions
  • Staff Training for day to day updates

Where a trader sells food, toiletries, clothing or household goods, the same rule holds: keep it readable, keep it current, and make sure the page matches what is actually in stock.

WhatsApp orders, payment info and delivery pages

Many South African customers prefer to order through WhatsApp, then pay and arrange delivery in a way that suits the day. We help set up those steps so your store points people in the right direction without confusion.

  • WhatsApp Order Setup for quick customer contact
  • Payment Info Setup with clear instructions for buyers
  • Delivery Page Setup for local drop offs and courier notes

If you offer collections, local drop offs or courier delivery, the details can be laid out simply. For payment and tax questions, check with SARS or a qualified adviser so your store information stays accurate.

Training that fits the people doing the work

Not every shop has time for long lessons. Some need short, direct training so the person behind the counter or the family member helping after hours can update products, prices and images without getting stuck.

That is where Zanele Chetty and Karabo Molefe help with practical support, while Mpho Maseko handles technical issues that need a closer look. Lerato Moonsamy and Sibusiso Zondo also keep client setups moving in the right direction, especially when a store needs follow through after the first build.

The goal is not to complicate things. It is to make it easier to keep the store tidy, current and ready for customers who browse on a phone in Soweto, Pretoria or anywhere else in South Africa.

Where support is used most

Support usually helps the most when a trader wants to grow without losing control of the basics. That can mean a spaza shop adding household items, a home business listing handmade stock, or a trader moving from informal orders to a more organised online catalogue.

Our base in Soweto, Johannesburg serves traders across Soweto Traders, Johannesburg Traders, Durban Traders, Cape Town Traders, Pretoria Traders, Gqeberha Traders, Alexandra Traders and Tembisa Traders. Thabo Lourens oversees the work so the support stays grounded in what traders actually need on the ground.

When the store needs a bit of sorting out

Sometimes the issue is small, like a pricing line that looks off or a product photo that needs replacing. Other times the whole catalogue needs a reset. The support page exists for those moments when a trader wants calm, practical help rather than guesswork.

We can assist with store content, product pages, photos, payment details and order flow so the online shop stays usable for real customers. It is straight talk, careful setup and support that suits South African trading conditions, from busy township streets to delivery windows that change with the day.
