"My only problem now is keeping stock on the shelves."

Owner, Rleaf · Parkmore · Craighall · Dainfern
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.

The Investment

What it costs.

Setup is R12,000 once off, half on start, half on go live. Then one monthly fee and the whole store is run for you: hosting, support, updates, all of it.

For a single store getting online.
  • One store, storefront and admin
  • EFT and WhatsApp checkout
  • Stock and order management
  • Email support
Most shops pick this

Growth

R2,900 / month
Under R100 a day, less than one staff shift.
  • Everything in Starter
  • Delivery, dispatched automatically
  • Discount and promo codes
  • Instant order alerts to your phone
  • Priority support, monthly changes

Group

R6,900 / month
For groups and multi-store brands.
  • Everything in Growth
  • Multiple stores, one platform
  • Custom design re-skin
  • Team training
  • Dedicated support, marketing setup

Pay a year upfront and the R12,000 setup is waived.

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