Why it matters

Seven carts out of ten never reach checkout

Most shoppers fill a cart, then leave: unexpected costs, forced account creation, a long checkout, a slow site. An ecommerce store is judged on its user experience, and abroad, language matters as much as price. Every step of your WooCommerce store is designed to remove these hurdles, from the product page to the order confirmation.

70% of shopping carts are abandoned before payment
40% of abandonments come from extra costs (shipping, taxes)
76% of shoppers prefer to buy in their own language (90% in Japan)
48% of ecommerce sites run on WooCommerce

Sources: Baymard Institute, cart abandonment rate (50 studies, September 2025) · CSA Research, Can’t Read, Won’t Buy (8,709 shoppers, 29 countries) · W3Techs, WooCommerce usage (October 2026).

Ask a question

With us, a WooCommerce store starts at $3,200 excl. tax, with up to 20 product pages, Stripe and PayPal payments, shipping and a 2-hour training. The final price depends on your catalog, languages and features: it is set in a free quote. The first 3 months of hosting and maintenance are free, then e-commerce maintenance starts at $165 per month, with no commitment. To compare with the market: our guide How much does a WordPress website cost in 2026.

Allow 6 to 8 weeks from the moment your content is ready (text, product photos, terms of sale). The exact schedule is set in the quote.

Shopify is easy to start with, but you rent your store: a monthly plan, paid apps, and extra fees on every sale if you don’t use its own payment system. WooCommerce is free and open source, one of the most flexible ecommerce solutions: the store is yours, you can extend it as you like and you only pay Stripe’s or PayPal’s fees. We never take a commission on your sales. It is also the most widely used: nearly one ecommerce site in two runs on WooCommerce (W3Techs, 2026).

You need a store in your customer’s language, prices in their currency, shipping costs known before payment and taxes set up correctly (for example EU VAT for sales to European customers). We set all of this up with you, in English, French, Japanese or other languages. We translate with translation tools; proofreading by a native speaker is up to you. For tax and customs rules, we follow your accountant’s advice.

Yes. Adding a product, changing a price, managing stock or following an order is done in your WooCommerce dashboard, without touching code, and WooCommerce handles thousands of products. The package includes 20 product pages created by us and a 2-hour training; beyond that, you add products yourself or we import your catalog (priced in the quote).

Yes. Beyond the store itself, we handle custom WooCommerce development: subscriptions, bookings, B2B pricing, or a connection to your inventory, accounting or shipping software. When no existing extension does the job well, we write a custom plugin. Custom development is priced in the quote, after we’ve discussed your needs.

Look at the stores the agency has built and still runs, and test them on your phone. Ask for a quote broken down line by line, who will own the website and the domain name, and who handles updates after launch. A freelance WooCommerce developer often costs less but works alone; a large development company brings a team, with several contacts. We are a small studio that specializes in WooCommerce: one point of contact, from quote to maintenance.

Yes, and the first 3 months of hosting and maintenance are included. After that, you choose: keep it, with no commitment and a price locked for 2 years, or stop. In that case, we move your store to the host of your choice for free: it’s yours, and you get a full backup at launch. For a store, we recommend it: security holes mostly come from outdated plugins, and a failed update can block orders. Details on our WordPress maintenance page.
