WooCommerce online stores
WooCommerce store development on WordPress: product catalogs, payment and shipping integrations, high speed, and secure platform migration with intact data.
WooCommerce store development on WordPress
WooCommerce store development turns a WordPress website into a fully functional online shop. It lets you maintain a clear product catalog and shopping cart while retaining full ownership of your data without recurring platform subscription fees. We write clean code, plan intuitive architecture, and install only essential plugins.
It is a good choice for businesses that want content management and e-commerce under one roof. With proper configuration and fast hosting, a WooCommerce shop runs smoothly and adapts easily to daily operations.
When WooCommerce is the right fit
WooCommerce is best suited for businesses requiring full control over site code, files, and customer data. Your store runs on your chosen server, giving you independence from restrictive SaaS platforms and monthly fee models.
The platform offers flexible management for complex product catalog structures, including variable products with different sizes, colors, and stock levels. You can combine corporate blogging, service descriptions, and e-commerce within a single system.
If you prefer a hosted platform managed entirely by a third party, Shopify might be a better fit. For massive catalogs with tens of thousands of SKUs and heavy concurrent traffic, specialized enterprise systems or custom web applications are worth considering.
WooCommerce payment and shipping plugins
Shoppers expect familiar payment and checkout options. Local payment and shipping providers offer WooCommerce plugins, covering most merchant needs without custom API development.
For checkout payments, Montonio and MakeCommerce provide integrations for online banking links and card processing. Supported payment methods depend on the chosen provider contract. Learn more on our Payment Integration page.
For fulfillment, we set up Omniva, DPD, and Venipak plugins so customers can pick parcel lockers or courier delivery at checkout. Montonio also provides a shipping module. Details are available on our Delivery Systems Integration page.
Store speed and technical performance
A high-performing online store requires a well-tuned server environment and an optimized database structure. Recent WooCommerce versions store orders in dedicated High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) database tables, accelerating order processing and lookup times.
We implement page caching and object caching using Redis. Shopping cart, checkout, and customer account pages are excluded from caching so shoppers always see current data.
We optimize product imagery, disable unnecessary scripts, and configure tax and language settings properly. Existing stores can be enhanced via our Website Speed Optimization service, while 24/7 monitoring and backups on a separate server are available through Managed Hosting.
Plugin management and safe updates
A common failure point in WordPress stores is plugin bloat. Excessive plugins slow down the database and create security vulnerabilities. We keep plugin usage strictly minimal and code custom features directly when needed.
All updates are first executed on a staging environment. We push changes to the live production server only after testing compatibility across WordPress, WooCommerce, active themes, and third-party integrations.
Migrating to WooCommerce and legacy upgrades
If your current store runs on an older system like OpenCart or PrestaShop, or on an outdated WooCommerce version, you can move to a current WooCommerce setup.
When migrating to WooCommerce, we transfer product catalogs, customer records, and order history where possible. To preserve organic search engine rankings, we set up 301 redirects for all legacy URLs.
For example, for KUBE Mēbeles, we replaced an obsolete site running PHP 5.6 and WooCommerce 2.5 with a modern WordPress solution on PHP 8.3 keeping and cleaning up the existing product data. For the Bannte online store, we built a custom theme with MakeCommerce payments and Venipak, Omniva, and DPD delivery integrations.

Frequently asked questions
Is WooCommerce free to use?
The core WooCommerce plugin is open-source software. Total project costs depend on custom development work, server hosting, and any specialized commercial plugins or third-party integrations required.
Can I offer Omniva and DPD parcel lockers?
Yes. Carrier plugins allow customers to select Omniva, DPD, or Venipak parcel lockers during checkout. Depending on the plugin, shipping labels can be generated directly from the order admin panel.
Do you support Montonio and MakeCommerce payment systems?
Yes. Both providers offer WooCommerce integration plugins for bank links and card payments. The choice depends on your preferred payment options and merchant agreement terms.
Is it possible to upgrade an outdated WooCommerce store?
Yes. We migrate your data to current WordPress and WooCommerce releases, upgrade PHP versions, and replace abandoned plugins with actively supported solutions, testing everything on a staging site first.
Should I choose WooCommerce or Shopify?
WooCommerce is best if you want full ownership of code, data, and content management without monthly platform fees. Shopify suits businesses that prefer fully managed cloud hosting. Learn more on our Shopify page.
Can I add new products myself after launch?
Yes. The WooCommerce admin panel is straightforward. We provide training on adding products, editing prices, managing inventory levels, and handling customer orders.
Can products be imported from CSV or Excel files?
Yes. WooCommerce includes built-in tools for importing and exporting products via CSV files, allowing quick bulk updates for catalog data, attributes, and pricing.
