Setting up an online shop shouldn’t feel like learning rocket science. But if you’ve ever tried to build a WooCommerce store yourself, you know it gets complicated fast.
You install WooCommerce. Looks simple enough. Then you need shipping zones. Tax calculations. Payment gateways. Product variations. And suddenly you’re three hours deep in forum posts trying to figure out why your checkout page keeps breaking.
At Aura Digital Agency, we build WooCommerce stores that actually work. No guesswork, no broken checkout pages, no pulling your hair out trying to configure shipping rules.
I’ve lost count of how many times someone’s come to us after trying to set up WooCommerce themselves. They thought it would be easy. Install the plugin, add products, start selling. Right?
Not quite.
WooCommerce out of the box is pretty limited. You can sell simple products. That’s about it. Need subscription billing? Custom product options? Complex shipping rules? Bulk pricing? You’ll need plugins, custom code, or both.
Get your tax settings wrong, you’re liable for the difference. Shipping calculations off? You’re either overcharging customers (they leave) or undercharging (you lose money on every order). Payment gateway misconfigured? Sales fail and customers get frustrated.
You need a booking plugin. A membership plugin. A custom fields plugin. Great. Now they’re fighting with each other and your site’s throwing errors. Or worse, working fine until a customer tries to checkout, then everything crashes.
The default WooCommerce templates look like… well, default templates. If you’re selling anything where brand matters, you need custom design. Otherwise you look like every other basic online shop.
We’re a WooCommerce development agency that builds online shops for businesses that need something more than the basic setup.
We build your entire online shop from the ground up. Custom design that matches your brand, properly configured products, working payment processing, accurate shipping calculations, proper tax setup – everything you need to actually sell online.
This isn’t just installing WooCommerce and a theme. This is proper development work to make sure everything works correctly.
What you get:
Timeline: 4-8 weeks typically
Investment: £4,500 – £12,000 depending on complexity
Sometimes the standard WooCommerce features don’t do what you need. That’s where custom development comes in.
We build custom features and functionality for WooCommerce stores:
Custom product options – Need products with complex configurations? Custom text fields? File uploads? Conditional options? We build it.
Custom pricing rules – Volume discounts, role-based pricing, tiered pricing, bundle deals, percentage discounts for specific customer groups – whatever pricing structure you need.
Custom checkout processes – Multi-step checkouts, custom fields, conditional fields, special validations, custom order forms.
Custom integrations – Connect WooCommerce to your inventory system, accounting software, CRM, shipping software, or any other business tool you use.
Subscription products – Recurring billing, membership products, subscription boxes, payment plans.
Booking and appointment systems – Sell time slots, appointments, rentals, reservations through WooCommerce.
B2B features – Wholesale pricing, quote requests, purchase orders, customer-specific catalogues, minimum order quantities.
Timeline: 3-10 weeks depending on what you need
Investment: £3,000 – £15,000+
Got an existing WooCommerce shop that looks outdated or doesn’t convert well? We redesign it.
Keep your products and data. Get a fresh design, better user experience, improved checkout flow, and better performance.
Already have a WooCommerce store but it’s slow, buggy, or just not performing well? We can fix it.
Speed optimization, checkout flow improvements, mobile experience fixes, plugin conflicts resolution, database cleanup – whatever it needs.
Need to move from Shopify, Magento, or another platform to WooCommerce? Or from WooCommerce to a better host? We handle migrations.
We move all your products, customer data, order history, and get everything working on the new setup.
Running an online shop means things need regular attention. Updates, backups, security monitoring, fixing issues, adding products, making tweaks.
We offer monthly support packages so you’ve got a developer on call when you need help.
We’ve built all kinds of WooCommerce stores. Here’s what we’re particularly good at:
If your products have lots of options, variations, or custom fields, we can handle it. We’ve built configurators for custom furniture, made-to-order clothing, personalized gifts, custom computers – products where customers need to make multiple choices.
Recurring billing is tricky. We set up WooCommerce subscriptions properly so renewals work, failed payments are handled correctly, and your customers can manage their own subscriptions.
Want to run a marketplace where other people sell through your site? We build multi-vendor WooCommerce setups with vendor dashboards, commission tracking, and proper payment splits.
Selling to other businesses is different than selling to consumers. We build B2B features like customer-specific pricing, quote requests, purchase orders, minimum quantities, and trade accounts.
Selling to multiple countries? We set up multi-currency, geolocation-based pricing, international shipping, and proper tax handling for different jurisdictions.
Need WooCommerce to talk to your other systems? We build integrations with ERPs, inventory management, accounting software, CRMs, shipping providers, and custom databases.
People ask this all the time. Here’s the honest answer:
We’re not anti-Shopify. We just specialize in WooCommerce because it’s more flexible for complex projects. If Shopify fits your needs better, we’ll tell you.
Knowing WordPress doesn’t mean knowing e-commerce. Good WooCommerce developers understand checkout psychology, payment processing, shipping logistics, tax requirements, and conversion optimization.
Someone who’s built clothing shops understands size charts and variants. Someone who’s built subscription sites understands recurring billing. Experience in your type of shop matters.
If someone gives you a quote without asking detailed questions about your products, shipping, and business model, they’re guessing. Good developers dig into requirements first.
Your shop needs to look good, but it also needs to sell. Good WooCommerce developers focus on both design and conversion rates.
E-commerce sites need ongoing support. Choose a WooCommerce development agency that’ll be there when you need help, not one that disappears after collecting payment.
Usually plugin conflicts, theme issues, or incorrect gateway settings. We diagnose and fix it.
Common with WooCommerce. Too many plugins, unoptimized images, poor hosting, database bloat. We optimize everything.
Shipping zones and classes are confusing. One wrong setting and your calculations are off. We configure it properly.
We build custom features when plugins don’t exist or don’t do exactly what you need.
Responsive design issues. We fix mobile experience problems.
Could be slow checkout, too many fields, confusing process, or trust issues. We analyze and improve the checkout flow.
We’re not the cheapest WooCommerce development company. We’re not the biggest. We don’t have fancy offices or huge marketing budgets.
What we have is solid experience building WooCommerce stores that actually work and make money for our clients.
We understand e-commerce. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We build shops that convert visitors into customers, not just look pretty in screenshots.
We’re still small enough to care about each project. You’re not just a ticket number. We actually want your shop to succeed because that’s what brings us repeat business and referrals.
We communicate clearly. We’re available when you need us. We deliver what we promise, when we promise it.
