WooCommerce stores you own outright, built to scale.
Add a shop to your existing WordPress site, or start from scratch. Open-source, no platform rent, no per-sale fees, and room for ten products or ten thousand.
Why WooCommerce
WooCommerce is the most widely used open-source shop platform, built on WordPress. You own the store and your data, there's no monthly platform fee and no cut taken on every sale, and because it's WordPress, nothing holds back your SEO or your design. We can add a shop to your existing WordPress site, matching your current look, or build one from scratch.
For the bigger picture, how we handle the photos, descriptions, payments and training, and what "you own it" really means, see our online shops overview. This page is about the platform itself.
What it can do
You asked for power and control; here are the parts that actually matter day to day.
- Manage from any browser. An app-like admin, as many staff accounts as you need, and security logs, including failed login attempts.
- Inventory that scales. Per-product low-stock email alerts, variations for size, colour, weight and product code, cross-selling to lift basket value, moderated customer reviews, and digital downloads with secure links.
- Order management. Edit orders on the fly (quantities, tax, shipping), take payment through major gateways (Stripe, PayPal, WorldPay) or by card yourself, and issue gift vouchers.
- Shipping and collection. Tax zones, shipping classes (so heavy items can cost more), and click-and-collect.
Sell to trade and public on one site
If you sell wholesale as well as retail, WooCommerce handles both. Trade customers log in to see their own pricing, wholesale rates or VAT handled differently, while the public sees standard prices, all on the same site. It suits wholesalers, manufacturers, and food-and-drink trade portals especially well.
Moving from another platform
Outgrowing Shopify, Wix or an older system? In most cases we can import your products by CSV, so you're not retyping a whole catalogue by hand.
WooCommerce vs a leased platform
The platform decision in one table.
| AMD WooCommerce | Leased platforms (e.g. Shopify) | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You own it 100%* | You rent it; stop paying, lose the store |
| Platform and transaction fees | None | Often a cut per sale, on top of card fees |
| SEO and design | Open and bespoke (WordPress) | More restricted, often template-based |
| Product limit | Unlimited | Often capped by your plan |
*Same honest ownership note as the overview page: you own the design, your content and the custom build; third-party licences and our proprietary tools are excluded.
Built lean, so it stays quick
A shop with thousands of products is no use if it crawls. We build WooCommerce the way we build everything: lean, with images optimised to WebP and the usual WordPress bloat stripped out, and we tune for the journey real visitors take rather than a single-page lab score. (See technical SEO.)
