Rleaf · Cannabis Case Study

Open 24/7. Even when the shop isn't.

We built Rleaf a real online store, on a checkout no bank can ban. Customers find it on Google, browse the menu, pay by EFT or WhatsApp, and the order lands in the shop's dashboard. We can do the same for your shop.

The Problem

Real demand,
no way to buy.

Rleaf had loyal walk-in customers and product that moved. What it didn't have was a way to sell online: no catalogue to browse, no way for a customer to order or pay without a staff member doing it all by hand.

The deeper problem is one every cannabis retailer in South Africa hits: the banks won't give them a card gateway. So "just add Shopify" doesn't apply. No card processing means no normal online checkout.

Meanwhile customers were searching online, ready to buy, with nowhere to click. The demand existed. The shop just had no door for it.

The Solution

A store built
for cannabis.

We built Rleaf's store from scratch. Not a generic template, a system designed around how a cannabis shop actually trades. Customers get a clean way to browse, order and pay. The shop gets one place that handles inventory, organises every order and shows what's selling.

Staff still run the floor: they confirm each order, pack it and send it, either on the courier the customer chose or one the system books automatically the moment payment lands. Everything around that, the system handles.

Prefer month to month? Growth is R2,900 a month with the R12,000 setup, half on start, half on go live. Starter and Group are month to month with the same setup.

Rather own it outright? R59,000 once off, plus R750 a month for hosting and care. Most shops do better on Growth.
