The problems store owners bring to us

Most businesses come to us with the same frustrations.
Here are the ones we hear most often.

Shoppers won’t wait around. If a page is slow, they leave and often don’t come back. Fixing speed is one of the simplest ways to win those sales back.

A long or confusing checkout loses customers at the last step. Simple changes to payment options, delivery choices and forms can make a big difference.

Too many plugins, or the wrong ones, cause errors and slow pages. A clean, well-planned setup keeps your store steady after every update.

Copying orders into your stock, accounts or shipping tools wastes hours and leads to mistakes. Your store should connect to the tools you already use.

Out-of-date plugins and weak settings put your store at risk. Safe, regular updates should be part of the routine.

Services to build, fix and grow your WooCommerce store

Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving a live store, our WooCommerce development services cover it all.

Is WooCommerce right for your business?

WooCommerce works well for many UK businesses, but it isn’t right for everyone. Here’s how to tell. It’s a good fit if you:

  • Already use WordPress, or want content and shop on one site
  • Want full control over design and features
  • Prefer no monthly platform licence fees
  • Need custom features or links to your own systems
  • Sell a mix of products, such as simple, variable, bundles or subscriptions

Why UK businesses choose chillicommerce for WooCommerce

WooCommerce gives you freedom, but it needs the right setup to stay fast, secure and easy to manage. That’s the part we get right.

  • Clean builds, not plugin pile-ups- We use well-supported plugins where they make sense and custom code where they don’t, so your store stays fast and easy to update.
  • Speed built in from day one- We plan hosting, caching, images and database setup at the start, not as a fix later.
  • Checkout that works- We test payments, delivery options, VAT and mobile checkout, so customers can buy without friction.
  • Safe, tested updates- We test WooCommerce, WordPress and plugin updates before they go live, so an update never breaks your store.
  • Connected to your systems- We link WooCommerce to your stock, accounting, CRM, shipping and payment tools, so your team stops re-typing orders.
  • Support after launch- You’ll always have a team that knows your store, ready to help with updates, fixes and improvements.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your business needs. A small store costs between £2,500 and £25,000+ for the initial build. And the one with custom features, lots of products or links to other systems can cost more than £60,000. The things that influence the price most are the design, the number of products, any custom work, and whether we’re moving you over from another platform.

As an experienced WooCommerce agency London, we do integrate payment options with your store. Most UK shoppers expect to pay by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and some like buy now, pay later as well. We set up whichever ones suit your customers, using providers like Stripe, PayPal or Worldpay.
