WooCommerce Development Services

A WooCommerce store from Akif Wani starts at $1,000 for up to 15 products, with each additional block of 15 products adding $150. Advanced SEO setup adds $350 and speed optimisation adds $250. B2B wholesale pricing systems and subscription products are quoted separately. Every project is quoted at a fixed price in writing before work starts.

WooCommerce is better when you want to own your store outright, avoid per-transaction platform fees, and need customisation Shopify's theme system restricts — particularly B2B wholesale pricing and complex product logic. Shopify is better when you want a hosted platform with no server responsibility and a simple catalogue. WooCommerce costs less over time at volume; Shopify costs less in operational effort.

Yes. Wholesale pricing is implemented with role-based rules so trade accounts see trade rates and retail customers see retail, from a single catalogue and a single stock pool. This includes gated trade-only product lines and a wholesale account application and approval flow. Fire & Ash Hair runs exactly this setup, serving salon wholesale and direct retail from one store.

WooCommerce handles catalogues of tens of thousands of products when the architecture and hosting are right. Performance problems at scale almost always come from poor product-attribute structure, unindexed database queries, or shared hosting rather than from WooCommerce itself. Catalogue architecture is decided during scoping precisely because it determines how the store behaves as it grows.

Yes. Overselling is usually caused by product variants set up as independent products so stock decrements against the wrong pool — fixable by remodelling the variant structure. Slowness on commerce sites is typically unoptimised product imagery, plugin conflicts, and uncached queries. Both start with an audit of the existing store before any work is quoted.

Stripe, PayPal, and the major regional gateways are all supported, along with any provider offering a WooCommerce extension or a documented API. Gateway integration, shipping zones, and tax rules are configured and tested with real test transactions as part of the build, so the store processes orders correctly from day one rather than being debugged live.

Yes, completely. WooCommerce is open-source software running on hosting you control, so you own the code, the database, the customer list, and the order history outright. There is no per-transaction platform fee and no risk of a platform changing terms on you. The trade-off is that hosting, updates, and backups are your responsibility.

Yes. Products, variants, customers, and order history are migrated, and old URLs are mapped to 301 redirects so search rankings survive. The main planning work is matching Shopify app functionality to WooCommerce equivalents, since apps rarely map one-to-one. Migrations are quoted after reviewing the existing store's catalogue size and app dependencies.
