For a startup business it is pretty daunting to create a website, especially if your technical skills are non-existent. Hannah from Shopstar has helped me time and time again with tech difficulty I have had on the way. They sort out any set-up issues I have created within hours. Thank you Shopstar for your patience and service.

All my interactions with Shopstar have been extremely professional and the level of service has been brilliant. A reply to an email request has never been longer than 30 minutes. This is truly a world-class company and one South Africans can be proud of.

I have tried many platforms to do my website and this was truly an amazingly easy one to navigate not being IT technical at all. I am very impressed with the way it worked and the support given throughout. Thank you!

Shopstar is really easy to use and produces a very slick shopping site with very little technical knowledge required. It's the most cost-effective way to start an online store. Shopstar Pay makes the payments side super easy to set up. The support is great too with online chat responses.

It has been an absolute pleasure setting up my website with the fabulous support, guidance and knowledge of Bronwyn. She is amazingly patient and has super practical ways of teaching us novices how to go about creating something from only a vision. Her turn-around time on support is simply spot on!

A special shout-out to Robyn. She was an absolute star and her professionalism is commendable. Shopstar is a fantastic platform and I like that they are proudly South African. I just created a website and I'm totally all thumbs when it comes to the tech side. Shopstar's platform is so user-friendly; it is a pleasure to work with them from start to finish. Well done Shopstar!

My experience with Shopstar has been a delight. Setting up the store was straightforward and it was easy to make it look good. All the systems work well — orders taken, payments processed and analytics provided. Best of all has been the cheery attitude of the Shopstar staff whenever I had a difficulty. Thanks Bronwyn!
