A full-featured online store with Mobile Money checkout, real-time inventory sync, and a dashboard owners actually use.
A fashion retailer with physical stores in two cities wanted to sell online but had been disappointed by generic template-based solutions that didn't support Mobile Money and couldn't sync with their physical inventory. AstraWorks built a custom storefront that reflected their brand, accepted local payment methods natively, and gave the owner a single view of stock across all channels.
Off-the-shelf platforms either didn't support Mobile Money or required expensive third-party plugins that introduced reliability issues. The client also needed inventory to stay in sync between their two physical locations and the online store — a requirement that existing platforms couldn't meet without significant manual work.
We built a custom storefront with a headless architecture — a fast, branded Next.js frontend backed by a product and order management API. Mobile Money (MTN and Orange) and card payments are integrated natively at checkout. A lightweight admin dashboard lets the owner manage products, view orders, track inventory levels across all locations, and process refunds without technical assistance.

The store launched with 200+ products and processed its first Mobile Money payment within the first hour of going live. Average order value exceeded the client's physical store average in the second month, which they attributed to the ability to browse full product photography and size guides at leisure.
We'd like to hear about it. No pitch — just a conversation about what you're building.
