Grow Your Kenyan E-commerce With Experts On Your Side
We work exclusively with Kenyan e-commerce brands to increase sales, fix checkout friction, and build for sustainable East African growth.
You have an online store. But not the revenue you expected.
Setting up a store is easy. Tuning it to survive competitive Kenyan ad costs, mobile cellular network bandwidths, and payment behaviors requires specialized expertise.
Traffic but low conversions
Visitors land on your Shopify or WooCommerce store, view items, but drop off before checking out. Your conversion rate is stuck under 1% and you lack diagnostic clarity.
Disconnected technology
M-Pesa Express, STK Push webhooks, Safaricom Daraja API credentials, Google Ads tags, Meta Pixel... Too many plugins that fail to communicate reliably.
Outranked on Google
Newer brands are building higher organic search intent in Nairobi. They rank above you on local buying keywords and spend less on expensive social ad boosts.
End-to-End E-commerce Consulting — Built for Kenya
We focus exclusively on transactional mechanics and technical implementation to transform your online store into a scalable revenue engine.
Ecommerce Strategy & Audit
Diagnose what is actively holding back your store. We audit your checkout abandonment, speed metrics on cellular networks, and deliver an actionable execution blueprint.
Shopify & WooCommerce Setup
Full custom design, setup, theme configuration, catalog loading, and speed optimization. Tailor-configured to deliver frictionless buying journeys for local consumers.
M-Pesa & Payments Integration
Eliminate manual screenshot verification. We set up automated Safaricom Daraja API connections, instant STK Push pop-ups, and reliable multi-gateway checkouts.

What happens when Kenyan brands get the right strategy
Proof of concept in real East African markets. Verified metrics, authenticated growth, happy founders.
“We had the products but not the traffic or checkouts. Gara rebuilt our SEO strategy and Meta ads configuration. Our sales have been growing consistently ever since.”
“Our M-Pesa push trigger was broken on mobile browsers, and we had no idea. The Gara Audit found the webhook mismatch in the first week. Fixing it immediately restored completed checkouts.”
“We now rank #1 for our primary search terms in Nairobi. Our organic customer acquisition has replaced expensive social media paid boosts, which saved our store's margins.”
Not a generalist agency. A dedicated e-commerce practice.
Most design agencies build generic websites that fail to convert traffic into completed bank transactions. We are different. Gara specializes exclusively in the transactional mechanics, payment integrations, and buyer behaviors that make people buy products online in Kenya.
Led by experienced East African technical and growth advisors, we understand how Safaricom's API ecosystem connects with Shopify, WooCommerce, and local fulfillment networks. We don't just deliver slides; we write the production code.

Kenya-native strategy
Direct STK Push payment configurations, local delivery routing patterns, and trust triggers tailored strictly to East African buying habits.
Strategy + Hands-on Engineering
