— Why WooCommerce

Most WooCommerce builds look like WooCommerce. Ours look like your business.

The problem isn't WooCommerce. It's how it's built.

Install WooCommerce on a generic Storefront theme, add a handful of bloat plugins for features that should be custom-coded, and you end up with a site that looks like every other small-business store. Slow, generic, hard to update, and impossible to differentiate from the next competitor running the same setup.

WooCommerce built on a hand-coded custom theme is a different animal entirely. The design reflects your brand. The checkout flow is tuned to what you're actually selling — not a one-size-fits-all cart. The page weight is lean because the plugin stack is lean. Stripe, Square, and PayPal are wired properly, not through five intermediary plugins.

For service businesses — the ones selling packages, retainers, class schedules, or small-batch physical products — WooCommerce handled this way is the right tool. It lives inside WordPress where your content already lives, and it doesn't require a separate platform to manage.

— What's Included

Every WooCommerce build ships with all of this.

No upsells, no add-ons, no "payment gateway integration costs extra" surprises. The full scope is below.

/01

Custom WooCommerce theme

Hand-coded theme built for WooCommerce — shop pages, product pages, cart, checkout, and account pages all custom-designed to match your brand.

/02

Product and service catalogs

Product taxonomy, category structure, and catalog pages designed for how your customers shop — not how WooCommerce defaults organize things.

/03

Custom checkout flow

Checkout stripped down to what you need, extended where necessary. Single-page, multi-step, or express checkout depending on the purchase complexity.

/04

Payment integration (Stripe / Square / PayPal)

Direct integration with your payment processor — configured, tested, and verified before launch. Stripe is the default recommendation; Square and PayPal supported.

/05

Shipping and tax configuration

Shipping zones, rates, and tax rules configured for your actual fulfillment setup. Local pickup, flat rate, free shipping thresholds — whatever applies.

/06

Order management and inventory

Order notification flow, status updates, and inventory tracking configured in the WooCommerce admin. We'll walk you through managing it.

/07

Email automation

Transactional emails — confirmation, shipping, refund, account — designed to match your brand, not WooCommerce's default template.

/08

Customer accounts

Account creation, order history, and saved information flows — configured and styled to match the store design.

/09

GA4 ecommerce tracking

Enhanced ecommerce events wired: product views, add-to-cart, checkout initiation, purchase completion. Full funnel visibility from day one.

/10

Training and documentation

Walkthrough video and written docs covering how to add products, manage orders, run promotions, and update the store without touching code.

— Common Use Cases

What are service businesses actually selling?

WooCommerce works for more than physical products. Here's what most of our builds are actually handling.

— Use Case / 01

Service Packages

Fixed-scope services sold as a product — monthly retainers, design packages, consulting engagements. The customer selects, pays, and gets a confirmation. No quoting back and forth.

— Use Case / 02

Product Catalogs (Small Inventory)

Physical products at manageable scale — fewer than a few hundred SKUs. Custom catalog design, inventory management, and checkout without the overhead of a full retail platform.

— Use Case / 03

Memberships

Recurring membership tiers with gated content, member-only pricing, or subscriber perks. Configured with WooCommerce Memberships — cleanly integrated, not bolted on.

— Use Case / 04

Booking and Class Schedules

Time-based products — classes, appointments, workshops, rental windows. Customers pick a date and time, pay at checkout, and receive a confirmation. Sync-compatible with most calendar tools.

— Frequently Asked

The questions we get most.

Q.01

Why WooCommerce over Shopify?

WooCommerce lives inside WordPress — which means your store, your service pages, your blog content, and your SEO structure all live on one platform with one codebase. Shopify is an excellent product for high-volume retail, but it's a separate platform that creates a split between your content and your commerce. For service businesses, WooCommerce on a custom WordPress theme is almost always the cleaner choice.

Q.02

Can I sell services and not just products?

Yes — that's the primary use case for most of our WooCommerce builds. Service packages, consulting retainers, class registrations, memberships, and appointment bookings all work cleanly in WooCommerce. The checkout is customized to reflect what you're selling — not a generic retail cart flow.

Q.03

Will I be able to update my own products after launch?

Yes. WooCommerce's product editor is accessible from the WordPress admin — you can update prices, descriptions, inventory, images, and variants without touching code. We walk you through the process at launch and leave written documentation covering every part of the store management workflow.

Q.04

What does a WooCommerce build cost?

Standard WooCommerce builds — catalog, standard checkout, payment gateway, email automation — typically run $5,000–$12,000. Custom checkout flows, membership systems, or booking integrations with complex scheduling logic add scope and push that range to $12,000–$20,000. We quote the full picture before any work starts.

Q.05

How customized can the checkout be?

Substantially. We hand-code the checkout experience — number of steps, what information is collected, how it's laid out on mobile, upsell logic, and the thank-you flow. We're not limited to what a checkout plugin allows. If your purchase involves a service scope question or add-on selection, we can build that into the flow.

Q.06

Can WooCommerce handle memberships?

Yes. WooCommerce Memberships (the official extension) handles tiered membership levels, gated content, member-only pricing, and recurring billing. We integrate it cleanly into the custom theme — it doesn't look bolted on. If your membership model is complex, we'll scope the integration specifically.

Q.07

What about bookings and scheduling?

WooCommerce Bookings handles time-based products — classes, appointments, rental windows — with a calendar picker at checkout. For more sophisticated scheduling (recurring classes, instructor management, capacity limits), we'll recommend the right extension and integrate it into the custom build. It syncs with Google Calendar and most external booking tools.

Q.08

What post-launch support is available?

We don't disappear after launch. Phase 04 (Maintained) covers ongoing updates, security patches, WooCommerce core updates tested before they go live, and performance tuning. When you're ready to layer marketing or automation on top, the Salterra partnership handles those handoffs cleanly.

— Ready to build?

Your store should feel like your business.

Every WooCommerce build starts with a conversation about what you're selling, how your customers buy, and what the checkout experience needs to do. No template proposal, no generic storefront pitch.
