95 Solutions is a WooCommerce agency for stores that want the flexibility of WordPress without the slow admin, fragile checkout and plugin conflicts that often come with it. Our WooCommerce website development covers new stores, takeovers and repairs of existing ones, and ongoing care.
We also have a direct stake in the platform. Our founder co-builds AM Jarvis, a SaaS suite for WooCommerce and Shopify stores that handles bulk product imports with AI rewriting, Google Merchant Center violation scanning and bulk product editing with preview and undo. That means we work with the WooCommerce REST API and messy real-world product data every week, not just at the start of a client project.
Our WooCommerce Development Services
- New store builds: theme, category and attribute structure, payments, shipping zones, tax settings and transactional emails, set up and tested before a single order is taken.
- Custom WooCommerce development: custom product types, pricing rules, wholesale and tiered pricing, extra checkout fields and small plugins built on WooCommerce hooks rather than theme hacks.
- Catalog import and cleanup: product imports from CSV, another store or a supplier, with attributes and variations structured properly so filters and Google Shopping feeds work.
- Checkout and payments: Stripe, PayPal and WooPayments setups, wallet payments through the gateway, and recurring billing with WooCommerce Subscriptions.
- Performance work: database cleanup, object caching with Redis, correct cache exclusions, image handling and script trimming for faster product and category pages.
- Integrations: Klaviyo, ShipStation, inventory and ERP systems, Merchant Center feeds and custom webhooks.
- WooCommerce maintenance: extension and core updates tested on staging, backups, uptime and order monitoring. For the WordPress side, see our WordPress maintenance services.
How We Run a WooCommerce Website Development Project
- Store audit (week 1). We list every active plugin and extension, check the PHP version, theme, hosting, order volume and database size, and review the checkout on a real phone. You get a short written report that separates urgent risks from nice-to-have fixes.
- Catalog and URL architecture (week 2). We decide how categories, tags, attributes and variations should be structured before anything is built. This is what drives filtering, internal linking and product feeds, and it is expensive to change once thousands of products are live.
- Build on staging with real data (weeks 3 to 7). We develop on a staging copy with your actual products, not ten sample items. Slow queries and layout issues show up with a real catalog that never appear in a demo.
- Payments, tax and shipping tests (week 7 or 8). We place test orders through every gateway, issue refunds, check tax by region and confirm shipping rates for each zone. Order emails, stock reduction and any ERP or fulfillment sync are checked in the same pass.
- Launch and order watch (launch week plus 2 weeks). We launch in a quiet window and watch the first live orders, the Action Scheduler queue and webhook logs. Redirects, GA4 ecommerce events and Search Console are checked in the days that follow.
A takeover or rescue usually starts with the audit alone, which takes about a week and gives you a fixed quote for the fixes. Larger catalogs and custom features stretch the build step rather than the testing step, because we never shorten payment and tax tests.
WooCommerce Development Deliverables and What Success Looks Like
Every WooCommerce website development project ends with things you can inspect, not a vague "store is live" message:
| Deliverable | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Store audit report | A ranked list of risks, such as outdated extensions, missing backups or a checkout plugin that conflicts with the block checkout, so you fix the expensive problems first. |
| Catalog structure document | How categories, attributes and variations are set up and why, so whoever adds products next keeps filters and feeds working. |
| Test order log | Records of test orders for each gateway, refund, tax region and shipping zone, signed off before launch. |
| Extension list with owners | Every paid extension, its license holder and renewal date, so nothing expires quietly and breaks a feature. |
| GA4 ecommerce tracking | View item, add to cart, begin checkout and purchase events checked against real orders, so revenue in GA4 lines up with WooCommerce. |
| Custom code in Git | Any custom plugin or theme code in a repository you own, with a short readme explaining what each part does. |
After launch, success means checkout completion holding steady or improving compared with the old store, product and category pages loading faster on mobile, no failed renewals or webhook backlogs in Action Scheduler, and fewer support emails about orders. We track those numbers with you for the first weeks instead of handing over and disappearing.
WooCommerce Details We Get Right
Most problems we inherit come from details earlier WooCommerce developers skipped.
- High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). HPOS stores orders in dedicated database tables instead of the WordPress posts table, and it is the default for new stores. Older stores can switch, but every extension that touches orders must be compatible first, so we check each one and run the migration on staging.
- Block-based Cart and Checkout. New stores use the block checkout by default. Some older plugins add fields or payment options through classic checkout hooks and quietly fail on the block version, so we test every checkout add-on before launch.
- Action Scheduler. WooCommerce uses a background job queue for subscription renewals, webhooks and many emails. When that queue backs up, renewals and syncs are missed without any visible error, so we monitor past-due actions.
- Cache exclusions. Cart, checkout and account pages must bypass full-page caching. A host or CDN rule that ignores this can show stale carts and break sessions.
WooCommerce or Shopify?
We build on both, so we have no reason to push one.
| Factor | WooCommerce | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting and updates | Self-hosted; you or your developer handle updates and security | Hosted; Shopify handles the platform and security |
| Customization | Full code access, any custom logic | Themes, apps and APIs within Shopify's rules |
| Content and SEO | WordPress content tools and full URL control | Solid basics with fixed URL patterns |
| Running costs | Hosting, premium extensions and maintenance | Monthly plan, apps, and extra transaction fees if you use a gateway other than Shopify Payments |
| Best for | Content-heavy stores and unusual product logic | Teams that want less technical upkeep |
If Shopify looks like the better fit, our Shopify development agency team can plan the move, and our Shopify vs WooCommerce guide compares costs in more detail.
What Are the Disadvantages of WooCommerce?
The main disadvantages of WooCommerce are that you are responsible for hosting, updates and security, and that most stores rely on several paid extensions that must stay compatible with each other. In practice that shows up as:
- Maintenance load. Core, theme and extension updates arrive often, and an untested update can break checkout.
- Extension sprawl. Subscriptions, bookings, B2B pricing and advanced shipping are usually separate paid extensions, each with its own license and update cycle.
- Performance on cheap hosting. Large catalogs and busy stores slow down without object caching and a properly sized server.
These are reasons to build carefully and keep a tested update routine, not to avoid the platform.
Custom WooCommerce Builds for B2B, Subscriptions and Content-Led Stores
WooCommerce earns its place when your store does something a standard checkout cannot. These are the builds we see most often, and what each one needs to work properly:
Wholesale and B2B ordering
Trade customers need their own prices, minimum order quantities, tax exemptions and sometimes payment on invoice terms. We set this up with role-based pricing and checkout rules, and keep retail customers on the normal flow. Quick-order forms that let buyers enter SKUs and quantities on one screen save trade customers a lot of clicking.
Subscriptions and memberships
WooCommerce Subscriptions handles recurring billing, renewals, upgrades and pauses. The parts that need care are failed-payment retries, renewal emails and the Action Scheduler queue that runs renewals in the background. We test renewal dates on staging by running scheduled actions early, rather than waiting a month to find a problem.
Bookings, made-to-order and product configurators
Products with dates, sizes cut to order or many add-on options need custom fields that carry through to the cart, the order email and the packing slip. We build these as small plugins on WooCommerce hooks, so a theme change never breaks them.
Content-led stores
Recipe sites, hobby brands and expert retailers often publish more articles than they list products. Running both in WordPress means one login, one search and internal links between guides and products, which also helps WooCommerce SEO.
Migrating a Store to WooCommerce Without Losing Orders or Rankings
Moves from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce or an old custom cart follow the same checklist. Products, variations, images and categories come across first, then customers and order history, using a migration service such as Cart2Cart or a custom script when the data is unusual. Customer passwords usually cannot be carried between platforms, so we plan a clear password-reset email for launch day.
URLs change on almost every migration, because WooCommerce uses its own product and category bases by default. We export every indexed URL from the old store and Search Console, map each one to its new address, and load the 301 redirects before DNS moves. Reviews, gift cards and store credit need their own plan, so we list them in the scope instead of discovering them after launch.
Types of WooCommerce Agencies and Which One You Need
Agencies that call themselves WooCommerce specialists usually fall into one of four groups. Knowing which one you are talking to saves time:
- Design studios produce strong visuals and brand work but may hand development of payments, data and performance to contractors.
- Development shops handle custom plugins, integrations and rescues well, and may need you to bring design and marketing direction.
- SEO and marketing agencies focus on traffic and campaigns and often work on top of an existing store rather than building one.
- Full-service teams cover build, data, tracking and marketing together, which suits stores where those decisions affect each other.
We sit in the last group, with development and marketing led by the same person, but if you only need a single plugin fixed, a focused development shop or a good freelancer can be the cheaper answer.
What to Look for in a WooCommerce Development Company
WooCommerce agencies range from design studios and SEO shops to full-service teams and freelance WooCommerce experts. Before you hire one, ask to see how they test updates on staging, which extensions they would add and why, how they handle HPOS and the block checkout, and whether the hosting, gateways and code will be in your name. If search traffic matters, check that they coordinate with WooCommerce SEO work rather than as an afterthought.

Stores Our WooCommerce Development Agency Fits Best
A good fit if you:
- Already run WooCommerce and need a WooCommerce developer who will fix the root cause, not add another plugin.
- Sell products with custom options, B2B pricing or subscriptions that hosted platforms handle poorly.
- Publish a lot of content alongside your products and want it all in one system.
Probably not a fit if you:
- Want zero involvement in hosting or updates and have a simple catalog; a hosted platform will be less work.
- Need an enterprise catalog with complex multi-warehouse rules, where Magento or BigCommerce may fit better.
WooCommerce Development Pricing
WooCommerce builds are fixed price, based on catalog size, custom features, payment and shipping setup, and data migration. The biggest cost drivers are the number of product types and variations, custom checkout or pricing logic, integrations with inventory, ERP or fulfillment systems, and how much order and customer history we migrate. Maintenance is a separate monthly plan, and you pay hosting and extensions directly, so there is no markup hidden in the build price.
