Great platform which makes it super easy to create an online shop, even if you have never done it before. Very reasonable rates too for small businesses.

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.

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!

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!

I have been with Shopstar for a few years now and I always get help at the push of a button. It is also a very affordable option to get a website and learn and grow your business. I had them redo my website and Bronwyn attended to me — with basically just my logo she made magic happen.

I have had excellent service from Hannah. Although I am computer-savvy, there are many things I am not sure about and she has been a super star! She always comes back to you and shows no frustration when it takes a little longer for me to catch on. Great company and great teacher!
