The verdict in three sentences
San-Pedro, Ivory Coast's second port and a cocoa and timber export hub, needs B2B and international-facing sites: a brochure costs 250,000 to 450,000 FCFA in 2026, a B2B import-export/logistics site 700,000 to 1,300,000 FCFA. Multilingual support and an online quote module create real value here to capture foreign buyers. E-commerce, rarer here, starts at 1,000,000 FCFA.
The 2026 price grid for San-Pedro
The port economy (exporters, freight forwarders, logistics, services) leans toward B2B credibility sites. 2026 ballpark figures.
| Package | Typical use | Price FCFA | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brochure | presence, contact | 250,000 - 450,000 | 7-12 d |
| B2B import-export/logistics site | catalog, online quote | 700,000 - 1,300,000 | 18-30 d |
| E-commerce | cart + payment | 1,000,000 - 1,700,000 | 21-35 d |
| Multilingual exporter portal | FR/EN, product sheets | 1,200,000 - 1,800,000 | 30-45 d |
The B2B online quote (buyer submits a request, exporter responds) is often the highest-return module in San-Pedro.

Mini case study
Koffi, a cocoa exporter in San-Pedro, was losing European buyers for lack of a credible site. He invests 1,100,000 FCFA in a bilingual B2B site with a quote module and certification sheets. Before, he got 3 export requests/month by email; after 4 months, the site brings him 9 qualified requests/month. With a single extra export order worth several million FCFA in margin, the site pays for itself on the first contract signed via the quote module.
FAQ
How much does a B2B site cost in San-Pedro in 2026? Between 700,000 and 1,300,000 FCFA for an import-export/logistics site with catalog and online quote module.
Is multilingual essential for export? Yes: the cocoa/timber clientele is international; FR/EN bilingual (+150,000 to 300,000 FCFA) is almost mandatory to capture foreign buyers.
What does an online quote module bring? It turns visitors into qualified requests: the buyer describes their need, you respond with a quotation, shortening the sales cycle.
Does an exporter need e-commerce? Rarely: B2B runs on quotes. E-commerce (from 1,000,000 FCFA) mainly suits San-Pedro's consumer-facing shops.
What maintenance budget should I plan? Between 50,000 and 120,000 FCFA/month, plus managed hosting at 50,000-150,000 FCFA/year.
