FAQ
- Does the online store meet South Africa's ecommerce disclosure rules?Check the website displays the supplier identity, physical address, contact details, pricing, payment, delivery, return and security information required for electronic transactions. Review checkout records and terms for applicable cancellation or cooling-off rights and refund handling.
- Can I continue marketing to the existing customer list?Examine how email, SMS and push-notification consents were obtained and recorded. POPIA restricts unsolicited electronic direct marketing, so exclude unlawfully sourced contacts and confirm every campaign supports opt-out, suppression and customer-status rules after the ownership change.
- How should ecommerce inventory be verified?Perform a physical count by SKU and location, including fulfilment providers. Reconcile purchases, sales, returns, damaged goods and stock in transit, then discount obsolete products and separate consignment stock or items already allocated to customer orders.
- What VAT position should I check when buying the store?Reconcile taxable sales across the website, marketplaces and payment gateways to VAT returns. From 1 April 2026, SARS applies a R2.3 million compulsory registration threshold, but historic periods must be tested against the threshold then in force.
- What import and product-compliance risks can affect an ecommerce business?Review customs registration, tariff classifications, duties, permits and supplier invoices for imported stock. Confirm regulated products meet applicable NRCS, labelling, safety or health requirements, and identify seizures, counterfeit complaints or warranties unsupported by an accountable local supplier.
- How can I calculate a reliable ecommerce margin?Calculate contribution by SKU and channel after discounts, VAT, product cost, freight, duties, fulfilment, advertising, payment fees, returns, fraud and chargebacks. Reconcile orders to gateway settlements and bank receipts, including delays, reserves and marketplace deductions.
