Shopify and WooCommerce Development Services
You need Shopify and WooCommerce development because choosing the right e-commerce platform is half the battle, and building it properly is the other half. Whether you have already picked a platform or are still deciding, a Shopify WooCommerce development company that works across both means you get honest advice about which platform fits your business, not a recommendation shaped by what the agency happens to specialise in. We handle end-to-end e-commerce store development on both platforms: build a Shopify store from scratch, develop a WooCommerce store on WordPress, migrate between the two, or optimise an existing store that is underperforming. Our experienced e-commerce developers handle custom themes, app and plugin development, payment and shipping integration, SEO, and conversion optimisation for Shopify WooCommerce development for small business and scaling brands alike.

Shopify store development typically costs $5,000 to $50,000+. WooCommerce development runs $3,000 to $80,000+. The difference depends on theme complexity, custom functionality, integration count, and product catalogue size. Basic stores start around $5,000. Complex stores with custom features and integrations run $30,000 to $80,000+.
Core Capabilities and Features
Custom Shopify Store Builds
We build Shopify stores from the ground up: custom theme development, product catalogue setup, collection structure, navigation, checkout optimisation, and mobile responsiveness. Every store is designed to convert, not just look good.
- Custom Shopify themes using Liquid or premium theme customisation to match your brand
- Shopify app development for custom pricing logic, product bundling, subscription flows, and B2B wholesale portals
- Performance and conversion optimisation targeting Shop Pay checkout conversion increases of up to 50%
Custom WooCommerce Store Builds
We build WooCommerce stores on WordPress with custom themes, product structures, shipping logic, tax configuration, and checkout flows. Every store is optimised for speed, SEO, and conversion from the start.
- Custom WordPress themes designed specifically for your store, not generic themes with WooCommerce bolted on
- WooCommerce plugin development for custom product configurators, complex pricing rules, and B2B ordering portals
- Managed WordPress hosting configuration with caching, CDN, PHP 8.2+, and database optimisation for sub-2-second load times
E-Commerce Migration: Shopify to WooCommerce and Vice Versa
Outgrowing your current platform? We handle migrations in both directions. We migrate products, customers, order history, reviews, content, and URL structure. We set up 301 redirects to preserve SEO equity and rebuild integrations on the target platform.
- WooCommerce to Shopify when you want managed hosting, simpler maintenance, or Shopify Plus features
- Shopify to WooCommerce when you want full code control, better SEO infrastructure, or lower long-term costs
- Parallel systems during transition so your store stays live throughout with zero downtime and no lost orders
Why It Matters
If your store takes 4 seconds to load, half your visitors leave before seeing a product. If your checkout has 5 steps when it should have 2, you lose buyers at every step. If your product pages have no reviews, no trust signals, and no urgency, visitors browse and leave. E-commerce is unforgiving. Your competitors are one click away. The difference between a 1.5% conversion rate and a 3% conversion rate is literally double your revenue on the same traffic. And that difference almost always comes down to how the store was built: page speed, checkout flow, product presentation, mobile experience, and SEO. The merchants we work with who get the most from their stores are the ones who treat the platform as a business tool, not a website. They choose the platform based on their business model. They invest in speed and conversion from day one. They plan for SEO before writing a single product description. And they partner with a team that knows both platforms deeply enough to give honest advice about which one fits.

"We work with both Shopify and WooCommerce because our job is to match the platform to the business, not the other way around. A Shopify-only agency will always recommend Shopify. A WooCommerce-only agency will always recommend WooCommerce. We recommend what actually fits."

Our Process
How we turn ideas into reality.

Theme and Store Build
Your store is built from the ground up: custom theme development, product catalogue setup, collection structure, navigation, checkout optimisation, and mobile responsiveness. Every store is designed to convert.
Integrations and Testing
Payment gateways, shipping providers, inventory systems, ERPs, CRMs, and analytics platforms are integrated. We audit page speed, checkout flow, product page layout, trust signals, and mobile experience.

Pricing
Investment Overview
Theme Complexity
Custom Shopify or WooCommerce themes built around your brand, product catalogue, and customer journey. Not a generic theme with WooCommerce bolted on, but a theme designed specifically for your store. Lightweight themes that load in under 2 seconds with proper hosting.
Custom Functionality
Custom Shopify apps or WooCommerce plugins for functionality that existing tools cannot deliver: custom product configurators, complex pricing rules, multi-vendor marketplace logic, subscription management, B2B ordering portals, and integration with third-party systems via API.
Integration Count
Payment gateways, shipping providers, ERP systems, CRM tools, and marketing platforms. Every integration adds development time. The more systems your store needs to connect with, the more the build costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this service.
- How long does it take to build a Shopify or WooCommerce store?
- A standard store with custom theme and 50 to 200 products takes 4 to 8 weeks on either platform. A complex store with custom app/plugin development, advanced integrations, and multi-currency support takes 8 to 16 weeks.
- Which is cheaper: Shopify or WooCommerce?
- At small scale, WooCommerce is cheaper (no monthly platform fee). At medium scale, they are comparable. At large scale, WooCommerce is often cheaper because there are no per-transaction fees or escalating monthly subscriptions.
- Can you migrate my store from Shopify to WooCommerce (or vice versa)?
- Yes. We migrate products, customers, order history, reviews, content, and URL structure. We set up 301 redirects to preserve SEO rankings and rebuild integrations on the target platform. Most migrations take 2 to 4 weeks.
- Is WooCommerce better for SEO than Shopify?
- WooCommerce has a structural SEO advantage because it runs on WordPress: full URL control, powerful blog infrastructure, Yoast/RankMath integration, schema markup flexibility, and better internal linking options.
- Do I own my data on Shopify?
- On Shopify, your data lives on Shopify servers. You can export it, but you do not host it. On WooCommerce, you own everything: the database, the files, the server. This matters for businesses in regulated industries or those who want complete data sovereignty.
- How do you handle store speed optimisation?
- On Shopify: app audit and removal, theme code optimisation, image compression, lazy loading, and font optimisation. On WooCommerce: hosting upgrade, caching, CDN configuration, database optimisation, PHP 8.2+ upgrade, and plugin audit. Target load time: under 2 seconds on both platforms.
