WooCommerce Development London
Add a shop to your website — without overbuilding it
Not every business needs a full Magento 2 platform. If you have a small catalogue, an existing WordPress site, or you want to test selling online before committing to a larger build, WooCommerce is the right tool. We set up and configure WooCommerce stores for London businesses: product catalogues, payment gateways, shipping rules, and any custom functionality you need. Everything built on open-source software you own outright — no monthly platform fees, no transaction charges beyond your payment gateway.
WooCommerce Setup and Configuration
We configure WooCommerce to match how your business actually works: product types (physical, digital, variable), stock management, tax rules, shipping zones and rates, and customer account setup. We connect your preferred payment gateway — Stripe, PayPal, Opayo, or others — and test the full checkout flow before launch. If your existing WordPress theme needs adjusting to accommodate the shop cleanly, we handle that too. The result is a store your team can manage without depending on a developer for day-to-day tasks.
Add Ecommerce to Your Existing Website
If you already have a WordPress site and want to add selling capability without rebuilding from scratch, WooCommerce integrates directly. We assess your current setup — theme, hosting, existing plugins — to make sure the foundation is solid before adding the shop. Where the existing theme is not suitable, we either adapt it or recommend a clean replacement that preserves your branding. Many of our clients have gone from zero ecommerce to a fully functional shop in two to four weeks.
Digital Products, Courses, and Event Tickets
WooCommerce handles more than physical goods. We set up stores for businesses selling digital downloads (e-books, photography, audio, software), online courses, event tickets, and subscription products. The setup varies by product type — digital delivery, access control, drip content, recurring billing — and we configure each correctly so customers get a smooth experience and you have full control of fulfilment. If you are a trainer, creative, or event organiser looking to sell online without a complex build, this is the fastest route to market.
When to Upgrade from WooCommerce to Magento 2
WooCommerce is the right starting point for most small businesses. As your catalogue and transaction volume grow, there are scenarios where upgrading to Magento 2 becomes the better investment: when you need B2B wholesale pricing tiers, when WooCommerce plugin costs are stacking up, when performance under traffic becomes an issue, or when you need integration with an ERP or warehouse system. We have migrated clients from WooCommerce to Magento 2 and can advise on the right moment to make that move. We will not push you to upgrade before it makes financial sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to add a shop to my website?
Adding WooCommerce to an existing WordPress site typically costs £1,500–£4,000 depending on the number of products, payment gateways required, and any custom features. A new WordPress site with WooCommerce built from scratch runs £3,000–£8,000. We provide a written estimate before any work starts.
What is the difference between WooCommerce and Magento?
WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin suited to small and medium catalogues with straightforward requirements — faster and cheaper to set up. Magento 2 is a dedicated ecommerce platform for larger catalogues, complex pricing rules, B2B wholesale, and high transaction volumes. If you are a small business with a modest range of products, WooCommerce is usually right. If you are handling thousands of SKUs or significant annual turnover, Magento 2 is worth the investment.
Can you add a shop to my existing WordPress site?
Yes. WooCommerce integrates directly into WordPress and can be added to most existing sites without a full rebuild. We assess your current theme and hosting first to make sure the setup will be stable, then configure WooCommerce to match your requirements.
What payment methods can you set up?
We set up all major UK payment gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Opayo (SagePay), Worldpay, and others. Stripe is our default recommendation for most UK small businesses — lower fees, better checkout UX, and straightforward setup.
When should I use WooCommerce vs Magento 2?
Use WooCommerce if you have a small-to-medium catalogue, are already on WordPress, and your requirements are standard. Use Magento 2 if you need B2B wholesale features, complex pricing tiers, very large catalogues, or are doing significant turnover. We are experienced in both and will recommend the right platform for your situation — not the one with the higher build cost.
