WooCommerce

WooCommerce is a self-hosted open-source plugin for WordPress that gives you complete control over your code, data, and infrastructure. Shopify is a fully hosted platform. Choose WooCommerce if you need deep customisation, already run WordPress, or want to avoid platform revenue fees. Choose Shopify if you prefer a low-maintenance hosted solution. Not sure?

WooCommerce development starts from $1,499 for a standard store setup. Custom plugin development, membership systems, or complex multi-vendor builds are scoped individually. We always provide a fixed-price quote after reviewing your requirements – you will know the full cost before any work begins.

Yes. If no existing plugin meets your requirements, we build custom WooCommerce plugins tailored to your exact business logic – whether that is a custom payment gateway, a B2B role-based pricing engine, a subscription system, a PDF invoice generator, or a complex shipping rules calculator. All custom plugins are built to WordPress coding standards and fully documented.

WooCommerce performance issues almost always come from unoptimised database queries, bloated plugins, uncompressed images, or lack of caching. We audit your specific bottlenecks and implement targeted solutions: server-side object caching with Redis or Memcached, image compression and WebP conversion, CDN configuration, critical CSS delivery, and database query optimisation. Most stores we work on see load time improvements of 50-70%.

Yes. We handle full platform migrations to WooCommerce from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, and custom platforms. We migrate products (including variants and images), customer accounts, order history, subscriptions, and implement proper 301 redirects to protect your SEO rankings throughout the move.

Yes. B2B WooCommerce builds are a speciality for us. We implement custom functionality typically required by B2B operations including: role-based pricing for trade vs retail customers, bulk order forms, minimum order quantities, quote request systems, company account management, and purchase order payment terms.

Yes. We offer monthly WooCommerce maintenance retainers from $199 per month. This covers WordPress core and plugin updates, daily automated backups, security monitoring and malware scanning, uptime monitoring with alerts, and a monthly technical health report. Priority support is included with all retainer plans.

Security is built into every WooCommerce project from day one. We configure Wordfence or Sucuri for malware scanning and firewall protection, enforce strong admin password policies with 2FA, disable file editing in the WP admin panel, implement regular automated backups stored off-server, and configure SSL correctly across the entire store. We also conduct a security audit before every store launch.

Yes. We have integrated WooCommerce with warehouse management systems, ERP platforms (SAP, Netsuite, Brightpearl), and custom inventory tools. We build integration via REST API or direct database connection depending on the systems involved. Contact us with your specific integration requirements for a scoped quote.

Yes. We build multi-currency WooCommerce stores using Aelia Currency Switcher or WPML’s WooCommerce Multilingual, and multi-language stores using WPML or Polylang. We also configure region-specific shipping rules, tax calculations, and payment gateways to support your international sales requirements.
