How it works

You talk. Zaai builds. It’s yours.

No builders, no templates to wrestle, no code. You describe your business the way you’d explain it to a friend, and Zaai turns it into a real website that takes orders and payments. Want to change something later? Just ask.

You say

Tell Zaai about your business

You chat in plain words: “I run a bakery in Cape Town, I sell sourdough and custom cakes.” That’s it. No forms to fill in, no settings to learn. If you can send a WhatsApp, you can do this.

Zaai does

Zaai builds the real thing

It designs your site, writes your words, adds your products and switches on live payments with Yoco or Paystack. Not a mockup or a demo, a working business that can take its first order the day you go live.

It’s yours

It’s yours, and it stays yours

It goes live on your own .co.za with your own data, no lock-in. Need to add a product or run a sale? Just ask Zaai and it’s done, no waiting on anyone.

You stay in charge the whole way. Zaai just does the hard part for you.

A brand kit Zaai designed: a logo, the words fresh, organic, playful, clean and vibrant, and a full colour palette with hex codes and notes on where each colour is safe to use.
Your colour, type, logo and voice, decided for you and yours to change. Zaai builds the whole kit before it builds a single page.
Built with Zaai Studio
Real businesses, really trading.

Not mockups. Both of these are live right now, both take orders, and both are run by their owners from the dashboard.

Most owners build their own site in the app. If you would rather we did it for you, that is what the studio side does.

After it is live
The website is the easy half.

Zaai gives you the tools to actually run the business behind it. This is the real dashboard, not a drawing of one.

The Zaai Studio dashboard: what needs attention, revenue this week, a week of sales, and the full list of tools down the left.
  • The Zaai Studio orders screen: an order awaiting a bank-transfer check with mark-as-paid, and a pending Paystack order below it.

    Orders arrive here

    Paid, pending, and the ones needing a manual check. Mark them prepared as you go. Receiving orders and taking payments never costs a credit.

  • The Zaai Studio website tab: a draft and live-site toggle, desktop and mobile views, page tabs, and a live preview of the shop's home page.

    Change it by asking

    Tap any part of your site and tell Zaai what to change. Switch between your draft and the live site, and check how it looks on a phone before anyone else sees it.

Worth knowing
The parts people don’t expect.
  • In the build

    Show it what you like

    Paste a few sites you admire and Zaai pulls apart what makes them work: the type, the spacing, the way they use colour. Yours comes out in that spirit, built around your business rather than copied from theirs.

  • At checkout

    Take EFT, not just cards

    Plenty of South African customers would rather do a bank transfer. They can. The order arrives marked as waiting for proof of payment, you check your account, and you mark it paid. No card fee on it at all.

  • Any time

    Change it by asking

    Tap any part of your site and tell Zaai what you want different. Typing over your own words and prices is free and takes effect straight away. Only the AI work costs credits.

  • Your money

    Your gateway, your bank

    Connect your own Yoco or Paystack account and your customers pay you directly. Zaai never holds your money, is never in the middle of it, and takes no cut of what you sell.

Your money
0%of your sales

Zaai takes no commission. Not on your first sale, not on your thousandth, not ever. Your monthly plan is the whole of what you pay us.

Start building
  • It is your account

    You connect your own Yoco or Paystack. The keys are yours, the account is in your name, and you can disconnect it whenever you like.

  • It is your bank

    Customers pay your provider, and your provider pays you. Zaai never holds the money and is never in the middle of it.

  • Their fees, not ours

    Your provider charges you their own rate, which is between you and them. Zaai adds nothing on top.

On R50 000 of sales a month, a 2% platform commission is R1 000. With Zaai it is nothing, because the money never comes near us.

Run it by chatting
If you can send a WhatsApp, you can run your whole business.

No dashboards to learn, no settings to hunt for. Ask Zaai in plain words and it does the work, across your site, orders, emails and more.

Ask Zaailive
One chat replaces the whole stack.

Most builders give you a blank theme and a bill for every add-on. Zaai gives you the finished business.

the usual way

A theme and a to-do list

  • Pick a template, then fight it on weekends
  • Bolt on apps for payments, bookings, email, reviews
  • A new monthly fee for each one
  • Hire someone when it breaks
  • Weeks later, maybe you launch
the zaai way

A finished business

  • Describe it once, Zaai builds the lot
  • Payments, orders, bookings and email built in
  • One simple plan, no plugin shopping
  • Change anything by just asking
  • Live on your own .co.za in days
Zaai experts
Or have someone do it for you.

Some businesses want something built to order. Some owners would rather hand the running of it to someone else. A Zaai expert can do either.

  • A custom build. Designed and built by the Zaai team around your business, when what you need does not fit what the app makes on its own.
  • A managed account. An expert looks after the setup, your catalogue and prices, and the changes you would otherwise be making yourself.

It starts with a R500 consultation, then a written quote for whatever you actually agreed on. Sending the enquiry is free and nothing is charged up front.
