A store only makes money when it is open, fast and finished at checkout

Much of what goes wrong in an online shop happens out of sight: a broken update, a slow page, a cart left at checkout. In a study commissioned by Google, Deloitte found that a 0.1-second faster mobile site was linked to 8.4% more conversions on retail sites. Here is what changes when the store is managed for you.

Getting the store built

Doing it yourself: Weeks spent working out themes, payments and shipping yourself

With Tremhost: Your store set up for you on WooCommerce, Shopify or Magento, with payments configured, including Paynow

Shoppers who leave at checkout

Doing it yourself: About 70% of online carts are abandoned: Baymard Institute's average across 50 studies

With Tremhost: An abandoned-cart recovery system set up on Professional

Updates that break the shop

Doing it yourself: A plugin update takes checkout down on a busy day

With Tremhost: Updates tried on staging first; if two plugins clash, we find it and fix it

Hosting and a firewall

Doing it yourself: Hosting billed separately, plus $240 a year for Cloudflare Pro or $2,400 a year for Cloudflare Business at Cloudflare's annual rates

With Tremhost: Hosting included, with Cloudflare Pro, or Cloudflare Business on Professional

Security

Doing it yourself: An unprotected store and no recent backup

With Tremhost: SSL, firewall configuration, uptime monitoring and daily backups on every package

Your team

Doing it yourself: Staff learning the back office by trial and error

With Tremhost: Hands-on training: one, two or four 1-hour sessions

How many orders does it take to pay for the package?

Managed e-commerce is worth it when the store earns more than it costs. Put in what you keep from an average order after costs. The starting value is only an example.

Orders that cover Starter
67 orders a year (6 a month)
Orders that cover Growth
167 orders a year (14 a month)
Orders that cover Professional
334 orders a year (28 a month)

Orders = package price divided by your profit per order, rounded up; per month uses the price divided by 12.

How it works

From choosing a package to a store your team can run.

  1. Choose a package

    Starter, Growth or Professional, depending on how far along your store is.

  2. Tell us about your store

    Your platform, products, branding, payments and shipping. Not sure which platform? We help you decide.

  3. We set it up

    Theme, payments, products and security are configured, then we train your team.

  4. We keep it running

    Uptime monitoring every month, and on Growth and Professional, reports and ongoing work as you grow.

What you get with Tremhost managed e-commerce

The difference between a store that sells and one that breaks usually comes down to how its updates and extensions are managed.

  • Peace of mind

    Technical tasks are handled by people who do this every day.

  • Security

    SSL, firewall configuration, Cloudflare and daily backups on every package.

  • Training

    Tutorials and coaching so your team can run the store with confidence.

  • Performance

    Speed optimisation and uptime monitoring, so the store is there when customers are.

  • Plugin vetting

    Before a plugin is installed or updated, we check it comes from a reputable developer and has no known security holes.

  • Updates on staging first

    Updates are tried on a staging copy. If two plugins conflict, we identify the clash and fix it.

  • Heavy plugins replaced

    We find resource-hungry plugins that slow your store down and recommend lighter alternatives.

  • The right extension

    Need a feature? Ask us instead of searching thousands of plugins, and we recommend a secure one.

Managed e-commerce questions, answered straight

Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp or open a ticket.

What is managed e-commerce?

We set up your online store on WooCommerce, Shopify or Magento, configure payments, products and security, train your team and keep the store running, so you can concentrate on selling.

How much does managed e-commerce cost?

Starter is $1,000 a year, Growth $2,500 a year and Professional $5,000 a year, in US dollars, with hosting included. That works out at $83.33, $208.33 and $416.67 a month.

Which platform should I use: WooCommerce, Shopify or Magento?

It depends on your products, budget and how much control you want. We support all three and help you choose before we start.

Is hosting included?

Yes. Hosting is included on every package, with Cloudflare Pro in front of your store, or Cloudflare Business on Professional. Bought from Cloudflare, Pro costs $240 a year and Business $2,400 a year at annual rates. Shopify stores run on Shopify's own platform.

Are Shopify's own fees included?

If you choose Shopify, Shopify's own subscription and any transaction fees are billed by Shopify, not by Tremhost.

Can you set up payments that work in Zimbabwe?

Yes. Every package includes payment gateway setup, including Paynow. Which international gateways you can use depends on your business and the gateway's own approval.

How many products do you upload?

Up to 20 products on Starter, 100 on Growth and 350 on Professional. For larger catalogues, ask us when you order.

Do you train my team?

Yes. Starter includes one 1-hour session, Growth two and Professional four.

What happens when an update breaks something?

Updates are tried on a staging copy first, so most problems are caught before your live store. If two plugins clash, we identify the conflict and fix it.

Do you help with abandoned carts?

Professional includes an abandoned-cart recovery system. Across 50 studies, Baymard Institute puts the average share of abandoned online carts at about 70%, so recovering even a few is worth having.

Are backups included?

Yes, daily backups on every package.

What uptime can I expect?

Every package includes uptime monitoring. Our target is 99.9% availability each month, set out in our service level agreement.

How do I get support?

From real people in Harare, by WhatsApp or a support ticket. Professional includes priority support. Open a ticket or message us on WhatsApp.

How do I pay?

The annual fee is paid upfront, in US dollars, by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin.
