WooCommerce Store Setup
WooCommerce store setup builds a complete store on WordPress: product catalogue, payment gateways, shipping zones, GST-compliant invoicing and a deliberately minimal plugin stack. Plugin restraint matters more on WooCommerce than anywhere else, because each addition compounds load time and conflict risk.
Prices shown are starting points. The final cost depends on the size and scope of your project, and we confirm it in writing before any work begins.
WooCommerce gives you full control, which is its strength and its risk. There is a plugin for everything, and stores accumulate thirty of them, each adding queries, scripts and another thing that can break on update.
We build with as few plugins as the requirements genuinely need, choosing ones that are actively maintained and do not overlap. Where a small amount of custom code replaces a whole plugin, we write the code: it is faster, and it will not be abandoned by its developer in two years.
Everything is tested before launch: real transactions through each gateway, shipping calculations against actual pin codes, GST invoices generated and checked, and order emails verified against Gmail and Outlook.

Questions people actually ask
WooCommerce or Shopify, which should I choose?
Shopify if you want lower maintenance and are happy inside its constraints. WooCommerce if you need control over hosting, data or unusual functionality, and have someone maintaining it. WooCommerce has no monthly platform fee but carries real hosting and maintenance costs: the totals are closer than they first appear.
How many plugins is too many?
There is no fixed number, but past roughly fifteen active plugins on a store, conflicts and slowdowns become steady. What matters is what each one does: one heavy page builder can cost more than ten small utilities.
Does WooCommerce handle GST properly?
With correct configuration, yes. You need tax classes set up for the relevant slabs, HSN codes on products, and an invoicing plugin that produces compliant invoices with your GSTIN. It is not automatic, and it is one of the most commonly misconfigured areas.
What hosting do I need for WooCommerce?
Not shared hosting, once you have real traffic. WooCommerce is database-heavy and shared plans throttle exactly when a sale drives traffic. Managed WordPress hosting or a decent VPS is the practical floor.
Can it handle thousands of products?
Yes, with attention to database indexing, object caching and query optimisation. Large catalogues need that work done deliberately rather than discovered when the admin becomes unusable.
