WooCommerce development
Our WooCommerce development service builds online stores that are easy to buy from and easy to run. That means fast category pages, filters that help customers find the right product, and a checkout that works on a phone.
WooCommerce development, from catalogue to checkout
WooCommerce development means building an online store on WordPress with WooCommerce. It covers the catalogue, product pages, cart, checkout, payments and shipping. In addition, most stores need features of their own, such as special filters or business pricing. We design and build all of it, and then we stay available after launch.
New WooCommerce stores
Designed and developed around your catalogue, rather than around a template.
Product filters and search
For large catalogues, so customers reach the right product in a few clicks.
Custom features
For example, a vehicle finder, B2B accounts and pricing, or enquiry forms.
Payment, shipping and invoicing
Integrations for the payment providers and couriers your store uses, as well as invoicing.
Speed optimization and caching
For stores that have become slow. See WordPress speed optimization.
Maintenance after launch
Updates, backups and fixes, so the store stays healthy. See website maintenance.
How a store project runs
Catalogue and structure
First, we go through your products, categories and attributes. Then we plan the filters, the search and the page layouts around them.
Design and development
Once you approve the design, we build the store in WooCommerce and connect payment, shipping and invoicing.
Testing and launch
Before launch, we test the cart and the checkout on phones and desktop. After that, we stay available for fixes.
Built for large catalogues
Large stores slow down when every filter click runs a heavy database query. For that reason, we developed two plugins of our own. Djia-filter is an AJAX filter that works from a pre-built index. DJIA Cache is a page cache that also stores filtered results.
You own the store and its data
WooCommerce is open source and runs on WordPress. As a result, you manage products and orders from one dashboard. In addition, we can extend the store with custom features when the business needs them.
Is this the right service for you?
- New online storesYou sell in person or on social media, but now you want a store of your own.
- Large cataloguesYou have thousands of products, so customers need good filters and search.
- B2B sellersYou need customer accounts, business pricing or enquiry forms instead of a simple cart.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take over an existing WooCommerce store?
Yes. We start with a review of speed, plugins, checkout and the theme. Then we tell you what we would fix first and why. After that, you decide whether we fix single problems or take over the whole store, including regular maintenance.
How many products can WooCommerce handle?
With the right filtering and caching, a large catalogue is not a problem. For example, Alteo runs over 24,000 products. In addition, we tested our filter and cache plugins on a catalogue of 96,122 listings. So the number of products alone is rarely the limit.
Do you design the store too?
Yes. The same team designs and builds the store, so the design you approve is the one that goes live. See our web design services for the process, from the first conversation to the finished page designs.
Which payment and shipping options can you connect?
We connect the payment providers and couriers your store already uses, as long as they offer a WooCommerce integration or an API. If you are still choosing, we can also suggest options that fit your market. In both cases, we test every payment and shipping method before launch.
Do you maintain the store after launch?
Yes. After launch, we offer updates, backups, security checks and fixes, so the store stays online and fast. Because an hour of downtime means lost orders, we test the checkout after every round of updates. See website maintenance services for what a plan covers.
How much does a WooCommerce store cost?
The price depends on the number of products, the integrations and the custom features. For a rough figure, choose Webshop in our Website Price Estimator. It takes about two minutes and gives an indicative price. After that, we confirm the scope and the price in a proposal.
