WooCommerce Development

WooCommerce can do almost anything — but “almost anything” usually requires custom development to bridge the gap between what comes out of the box and what your actual business needs. Custom checkout flows. Subscription billing logic. Third-party shipping integrations. Multi-vendor marketplaces. Product configurators. None of it ships with a vanilla install, and most of it can’t be built with off-the-shelf plugins alone.

What’s Included

• Custom WooCommerce store builds — from product setup through checkout to thank-you page, designed and built for your specific catalog and customer flow
• Custom checkout — multi-step checkout, conditional fields, custom payment flows, abandoned-cart recovery
• Payment gateway integration — Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Square, and less common gateways for specific industries or regions
• Shipping logic — custom shipping zones, weight-based calculations, third-party carrier integrations (UPS, USPS, FedEx)
• Product configurators — for products with options, variants, customisations, or build-your-own flows
• Subscription and membership — recurring billing, member-only products, gated content
• ERP and accounting integrations — sync orders, customers, and products with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or your existing system
• Performance optimisation — WooCommerce sites have specific performance challenges (cart fragments, session handling, AJAX cart) that generic performance work often misses
• Migration from Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento — moving an existing store to WooCommerce without losing SEO equity or order history

How It Works

1. Discovery — Catalog size, product types, payment requirements, shipping needs, integrations, traffic and order volume
2. Design and architecture — Store design (if needed), product taxonomy, checkout flow, custom fields, integration points
3. Development — Built in staging, with a working test environment you can preview throughout
4. Migration and launch — Product import, customer data, order history transfer, payment testing, SEO redirect mapping
5. Post-launch support — Critical for ecommerce; the first 30 days after launch usually surface edge cases that need quick fixes

Is This Right for Your Business?

Custom WooCommerce development makes sense if your store has more than 50 SKUs, if your product catalog needs custom fields or complex variants, if you’re integrating with non-standard payment or shipping systems, or if you’ve outgrown what Shopify can do without paying enterprise pricing.

If you’re launching a brand-new store with under 20 simple products, Shopify or a vanilla WooCommerce install may be all you need. Don’t pay for custom development you won’t use.

Why Work With Me on WooCommerce

WooCommerce is deceptively complex. The plugin itself is fine, but the moment you start customising checkout, integrating payment gateways, or running it at scale, you hit problems that most freelance WordPress developers haven’t seen. I’ve built and maintained WooCommerce stores for nearly a decade — including ones with custom configurators, subscription billing, multi-currency setups, and high-volume order processing.

I also know when WooCommerce isn’t the right answer. Sometimes Shopify wins. Sometimes you need a custom build. I’ll tell you which, before you’ve committed to anything.

Pricing & Timeline

WooCommerce builds typically start at $7,500 for basic catalogs and $15,000-$40,000 for stores with custom checkout, integrations, or complex products. Migrations from other platforms priced based on catalog size and complexity. Timelines range from 4 weeks to 4 months.
