The verdict in three sentences
A pharmacy has two distinct needs: being found (hours, on-duty status, location) and sometimes selling parapharmacy online. A showcase with an on-duty listing costs 300,000 to 500,000 FCFA in 2026; adding click & collect and a parapharmacy e-shop raises the budget to 900,000 - 1,100,000 FCFA. Prescription medicines stay handled offline: the site drives visibility and the sale of over-the-counter products.
2026 price grid by package
A 2026 order of magnitude for a pharmacy in Senegal. Sales cover parapharmacy and over-the-counter products, never prescription medicines online.

| Showcase + click & collect | Reserve OTC products for pickup in store | 600,000 - 800,000 | 4-6 weeks |
| Parapharmacy e-shop | Online catalogue, Wave/OM payment, delivery | 900,000 - 1,100,000 | 5-6 weeks |

Mini case study
Aïssatou runs a pharmacy in Guédiawaye. She invests 950,000 FCFA in a parapharmacy e-shop with Wave payment. The average parapharmacy basket is 12,000 FCFA at 35% margin, i.e. 4,200 FCFA per order. If the site generates 90 orders a month, that is 378,000 FCFA of extra monthly margin: the site is paid off in under three months, not counting the visibility gained on "on-duty pharmacy Guédiawaye" that drives walk-in traffic.

Can medicines be sold online?
No. Prescription medicines stay dispensed in store, offline. The site only sells parapharmacy and over-the-counter products, and handles information (hours, on-duty status, location).
Can the on-duty listing update itself?
Yes. We automate the on-duty display (+100,000 FCFA), which ranks you well for "on-duty pharmacy + district" — one of the most frequent and urgent searches.
What's the difference between click & collect and an e-shop?
Click & collect (+300,000 FCFA) lets customers reserve online and pick up at the counter, no delivery. The parapharmacy e-shop (+600,000 FCFA) adds online payment and delivery of OTC products.
Is mobile-money payment included?
It adds around 120,000 FCFA and covers Wave and Orange Money, the most-used methods in Senegal for online purchases.
How long to deliver?
A showcase with on-duty listing ships in 3-4 weeks; a full parapharmacy e-shop in 5-6 weeks depending on catalogue size.
