Four ways your business can work online.
These fictional demonstrations show the launch flows. They are examples, not customer claims.

Salon demo
Availability, appointments, deposits, and reminders.

Hardware demo
Products, stock, cart, collection, and local delivery.

Electrician demo
Service enquiries, quotes, scheduling, and payment.

Food demo
Menus, extras, preparation times, and pre-orders.
The engine behind your store
The serious commerce work is handled.
Your storefront is connected to professional tools that keep products, payments, orders, and day-to-day operations organised as your business grows.
Products and variants
Manage catalogues, categories, SKUs, images, options, and prices in one structured system.
Stock and availability
Track inventory, set availability, accept pre-orders, and help prevent overselling.
Checkout and payments
Run carts and checkout, record payment status, process approved refunds, and keep customer details together.
Orders and fulfilment
Review order history, manage collection or delivery, update statuses, and add tracking details.
Customers and insights
Keep customer records and understand sales, product performance, and checkout activity.
Reliable operations
Secure connections, automated updates, and structured data keep your storefront ready to scale.
One plan. Everything needed to go live.
Build and refine the private preview before paying. Subscribe only when you are ready to publish.
Once approved, your public preview is held for 24 hours. Your build stays privately recoverable for 30 days.

You stay in control.
Sensitive details stay out of chat

A human is available
Ask for a person at any time. Human support runs weekdays, 08:00–17:00 SAST.
Before you message us.
Do I pay before seeing my website?
No. Build and refine a private preview first. The R395 monthly subscription starts when you choose to publish.
Are online payments guaranteed?
No provider can guarantee approval. My Winkel guides the setup, while activation remains subject to the payment provider’s checks.
What happens when my AI credit runs out?
Generative changes pause until you top up or the next month begins. Orders, fulfilment, analytics, and support keep working.
Your business can start with one message.
Tell My Winkel what you do. We will help turn it into a storefront you are proud to share.
