What does a WooCommerce developer do that a plugin cannot?
A WooCommerce developer handles what plugins do not cover cleanly: custom pricing rules, checkout logic, integrations with stock or accounting systems, and performance problems caused by plugins themselves. A developer also decides when a plugin is the correct answer, because writing custom code for something a maintained extension already does well adds cost and upkeep.
Can WooCommerce handle wholesale and retail in one store?
Yes. WooCommerce core has one regular and sale price per product, so wholesale needs an extension or custom code that assigns prices by user role. Fire & Ash Hair runs salon wholesale and direct retail from one store with role-based pricing, a gated trade catalogue and a shared stock pool. Akif Wani covers the setup in a wholesale pricing guide.
When is WooCommerce the wrong choice?
WooCommerce is the wrong choice when nobody will own updates, backups and security, because a neglected self-hosted store becomes a liability. A business without technical staff or a maintenance budget, selling a straightforward catalogue, is usually better served on Shopify. Akif Wani says so during scoping, even when it means a different build from the one requested.

Hiring
Hiring a WooCommerce developer: FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a WooCommerce developer?
Hiring Akif Wani for a new WooCommerce store starts at $1,100 for up to 15 products, with additional products at +$250 per 15 products. Projects are quoted at a fixed price in writing rather than billed hourly. Smaller fixes to an existing store are scoped individually. Hosting, premium plugins and payment processing are separate costs that the store owner pays directly.
Can Akif Wani fix or speed up an existing WooCommerce store?
Yes. Akif Wani takes on redesigns and repairs of existing stores, as with the Xeno Peptides redesign, which replaced the cart-page redirect with a slide-out cart. Speed optimisation is available at $350 as an add-on to a project. Existing stores are reviewed first, so the written quote reflects what is actually causing the problem.
Will I own my WooCommerce store after the project?
Yes. WooCommerce is open-source software, and the store's domain, hosting account, code, database and customer records are all registered to the client. Akif Wani applies no licensing restriction to work delivered and uses no proprietary lock-in. Premium plugins remain licensed from their own vendors, and those licences are put in the client's name.
Does Akif Wani maintain WooCommerce stores after launch?
Akif Wani provides a post-launch support window for anything that surfaces in real use, and ongoing maintenance can be scoped separately. A WooCommerce store needs regular updates to core, plugins and themes, plus tested backups. Store owners who do not want that responsibility should arrange a maintenance plan before launch rather than after the first problem.
