For South African shops, stalls and side hustles
Storeforge gives you a storefront, a cart and card payments through your own Yoco or PayGate account. We never touch your money. One flat fee of R299 a month, nothing per sale.
How it works
No developer, no jargon, no percentage of your sales.
Sign up, name your shop and pick your colours. Your shop link works straight away.
Add them one by one, or paste the address of the Shopify shop you already run and bring it all across.
Send it on WhatsApp or put it in your bio. Card payments settle into your own Yoco or PayGate account.
The dashboard
Every order lands in one list that shows what's paid and what still needs to go out. Stock counts itself down. Customers build their own records.
What's in the box
Connect the Yoco or PayGate account you already have. Card payments settle into your bank, and Storeforge never sits in between.
A WhatsApp button on every page of your shop, because that's where your customers already talk to you.
Launch codes, percentage or rand discounts, and product groups your customers can browse by.
Revenue by day, top products, visitors and conversion, counted by your shop itself. No Google Analytics setup.
Customers on credit terms? Let them order on account or by EFT on invoice, next to the card option.
Terms of sale, returns and privacy pages written from your details, on every shop from day one.
Paste your shop's address and we read it: your products, photos, logo, colours and wording. You check the whole preview before anything is saved. No export files, no retyping 400 products.
Pricing
Set the shop up yourself, or let the ForgeLab team build it for you. Either way there is no cut of your sales.
You set it up in the dashboard. A short checklist walks you through it.

Yes, and that's the point. Card payments go straight from your customer to your own Yoco or PayGate account and settle into your bank. Storeforge never holds your money. The same Yoco you use for your card machine works here, and so does a PayGate merchant account if that's what you have.
R299 a month, flat. No percentage of your sales and no card needed to start. The first 14 days are free, and you can cancel whenever you like. Yoco's or PayGate's own card fees still apply. If you'd rather we set it up, ForgeLab builds your shop for R1 000 once, with the first 3 months of hosting included.
If it's on Shopify, paste your shop's address on the import page and your products, photos, prices and brand come across. Your old theme, apps and order history stay behind, and you check the preview before anything is confirmed.
Switch on selling on account, and checkout offers on account or EFT on invoice next to the card option. The order lands in your list either way, and you mark it paid once it settles.
Your shop keeps selling. Your dashboard shows a note that the first month is due, and nothing is charged automatically. Your shop never switches off by itself over a payment. If you'd rather not carry on, export your data from Settings and walk away owing nothing.
Any time. Your orders, customers and products download as spreadsheets from Settings. Nothing about staying with Storeforge depends on leaving being hard.
Fourteen days free, no card to start, and your data exports whenever you want it.
