The honest technical comparison nobody does in pitch decks
Industry shorthand is “Shopify is easier, WooCommerce is more flexible” and leaves it there. That framing sells Shopify plans, and it quietly lets the agency off the hook for not being technically strong enough to build WooCommerce properly. The fuller picture is more uncomfortable for Shopify.
Technically, WooCommerce does more than Shopify. Full database access. Server-level caching you control. Checkout you can modify without upgrading to Shopify Plus at $2,000+/month. API endpoints with no throttle you did not set yourself. Tax and shipping logic built in code, not in the next app subscription. Multi-site, multi-store, multi-currency without enterprise fees. Custom product types and custom checkout fields without waiting for Shopify to add them to the roadmap.
Commercially, WooCommerce is cheaper to extend. This is the part store owners typically do not see until year two. Shopify’s model is rental. You rent the platform, you rent the apps, you rent the payments (2% transaction fee unless you use Shopify Payments), you rent advanced features via Plus. Every new feature you want is a new subscription forever. WooCommerce is ownership. You pay a developer once to build the feature, you own the code, and the marginal cost of running it is near zero.
For a store doing $2M a year with fifteen apps stacked on Shopify, the platform tax can easily run $40,000+/year in recurring fees before you count the Shopify plan itself. The same store on WooCommerce, well built, pays for hosting and occasional development. The five-year cost difference is meaningful. If you are weighing platforms, or you have already outgrown Shopify’s app stack, our senior web developers have spent 17 years building WooCommerce properly and will tell you honestly whether it is the right fit for your scope.

Latest reviews
How we actually run a WooCommerce build
Most WooCommerce builds run 16 to 20 weeks for full enterprise scopes (B2B configuration, ERP integrations, multilingual). Standard catalogues without heavy integration work run 8 to 12 weeks. Single-store rebuilds with no migration run 4 to 6 weeks.
Discovery, catalogue architecture, and the integration map
We interview commercial leads, warehouse and ops, finance, and whoever handles B2B customer relationships. Catalogue size, pricing logic complexity, and integration depth are the three things that move WooCommerce budgets most, and they need scoping up-front.
Data model designed before development starts. Database indexing strategy decided for catalogues over a few thousand SKUs. Integration requirements scoped in detail (NetSuite, MYOB, Xero, Cin7, Unleashed, shipping, payment gateways, CRM).
You sign off on the architecture and integration map before we start building.
Custom theme, product layer, and checkout build
Theme built from scratch on the same ACF-driven block system as our WordPress work. Variable products, bundles, grouped products, composite products, configured as your catalogue actually needs, not shoehorned into a generic theme.
Object Cache Pro with Redis configured from day one. Background job processing set up for order fulfilment, inventory sync, and email sends.
Staging live by week 5. You review real builds, not slide decks, throughout the rest of the project.
B2B configuration, integrations, checkout testing
Customer-specific pricing, tiered wholesale rates, quote-to-cart, net terms, credit limits, tax exemptions. Integration work completed and tested in staging against real data. Custom payment gateways configured.
Checkout tested end-to-end for every payment method, every customer group, every shipping zone, because checkout is where WooCommerce edge cases live. Performance tuning on real catalogue volumes.
Nothing ships to production that has not survived a real test on staging.
Migration, launch, 30-day support
URL preservation and 301-redirect planning for migrations from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, or older WooCommerce builds. Customer and order history migrated.
Launch scheduled for a quiet morning, with the SEO team monitoring Search Console for the first two weeks. Tracking verified: GA4, server-side conversion tracking, Shopping feed quality.
30 days of post-launch support included. Our track record is published here, including ecommerce builds integrated across NetSuite, MYOB, and Cin7.
WooCommerce Development Pricing
WooCommerce pricing without the industry games. The ranges below are what serious WooCommerce work actually costs.
Most new WooCommerce builds begin from $5,000 to $7,500 (excl. GST), including full design, setup, and launch. Established brands needing subscriptions, advanced integrations, or multi-location rollouts typically invest $10,000 to $25,000+ (excl. GST). Hosting and support plans start from $35 plus GST per month and scale with your traffic and needs.
We rebuilt Ocular’s WooCommerce store on clean foundations after years of accumulated quick-fixes, and have integrated WooCommerce against NetSuite, MYOB, Cin7, and a handful of ERPs less common than they should be. WooCommerce built properly is the cheapest ecommerce platform to own long-term. Built badly, it is the most expensive.
The developer who scopes your build is the developer leading it. We care about the hosting cost, the plugin count, and the database queries, not just the checkout flow. Call us. We will tell you whether WooCommerce is genuinely the better fit for your business.
All pricing is indicative and exclusive of GST. No lock-in contracts. You own your store, your data, and your code.

WooCommerce development FAQs
Common questions about WooCommerce development, pricing, and what to expect when working with our Sydney team.
How much does WooCommerce development cost in Sydney?
Most Sydney WooCommerce projects cost between $5,000 and $25,000 (excl. GST), depending on complexity, catalogue size, and integrations. Our builds start from $5,000 for straightforward stores.
Pricing scales based on your product count (1,000+ SKUs need more sophisticated filtering), custom functionality requirements (subscriptions, wholesale tiers, B2B portals), and third-party integrations (NetSuite, MYOB, Cin7, ERPs less common than they should be). You will receive a detailed proposal after your free audit.
How long does WooCommerce development take?
Standard catalogues without heavy integration work run 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simple stores under 100 products can launch in 4 to 6 weeks. Full enterprise scopes with B2B configuration, ERP integrations, or multilingual rollouts run 16 to 20 weeks.
Weeks 1-3 cover discovery, catalogue architecture, and the integration map. Weeks 4-10 cover custom theme and checkout build. Weeks 10-16 cover B2B configuration, integrations, and checkout testing. Weeks 16-20 cover migration, launch, and 30-day post-launch support.
Can you integrate WooCommerce with our existing business systems?
Yes, we connect WooCommerce to CRMs, ERP systems, POS, inventory management, and marketing automation platforms. We have integrated WooCommerce against NetSuite, MYOB, Cin7, Unleashed, Xero, Mailchimp, and Klaviyo, plus a handful of ERPs less common than they should be.
Standard API integrations typically complete in 1 to 2 weeks. Complex custom integrations (custom NetSuite middleware, B2B-aware ERP sync, real-time inventory across multiple warehouses) may take 4 to 8 weeks.
Which payment and shipping options work best for Australian stores?
Stripe and PayPal cover 85% of Australian online shoppers. Adding Afterpay or Zip can lift average order values by 20 to 35% for fashion, lifestyle, and home improvement categories, though merchant fees run higher at 4 to 6% versus 1.75 to 2.9%.
For shipping, we recommend a multi-carrier approach: Australia Post for small parcels, Sendle for 2 to 22kg items, and StarTrack for business deliveries.
Do you provide ongoing WooCommerce support and maintenance?
Yes, our WooCommerce support plans start from $35 per month and include plugin updates tested on staging first, security monitoring, daily backups, and uptime alerts. Critical issues get 1-hour response times during business hours.
We also provide monthly performance audits, conversion rate analysis, and database optimisation as your catalogue grows. No lock-in contracts: you own your store and all customisations.
Can WooCommerce handle our business as we scale?
Yes, with proper architecture. We have built WooCommerce stores handling 50,000+ SKUs and 10,000+ orders monthly. The key is clean development from day one: custom themes instead of bloated page builders, optimised databases, lean plugin selection, and Object Cache Pro with Redis configured properly.
For stores doing $50k+ monthly revenue, we recommend dedicated cloud infrastructure that auto-scales during promotions.
Is WooCommerce really cheaper than Shopify long-term?
For stores past a certain scale, yes, often significantly. Shopify’s model is rental: you rent the platform, the apps, the payments, and Plus features. Every new feature is a new subscription forever.
For a store doing $2M a year with 15 apps stacked on Shopify, the platform tax can easily run $40,000+/year in recurring fees before you count the Shopify plan itself. The same store on WooCommerce, well built, pays for hosting and occasional development. The five-year cost difference is meaningful, particularly for B2B and high-volume stores.
Can you migrate our existing store to WooCommerce?
Yes, we migrate from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom platforms. Most migrations take 8 to 12 weeks including planning, data transfer, and post-launch monitoring. We schedule cutover during your slowest traffic periods.
We preserve everything that matters: products, customer accounts, order history, and SEO rankings through 301 redirects. Post-migration, we monitor for 30 days to ensure traffic and conversions return to baseline.
