WooCommerce and Shopify stores and checkout fixes that finish the order

WooCommerce and Shopify development is building or repairing an online store, including the cart and checkout a customer actually uses. It is for WooCommerce and Shopify store owners, and for agencies that need that store work done for their own clients.

01 The order path

Stores and the order path

Looking to sell online, I build WooCommerce and Shopify stores on the CMS you already use, with customer information kept safe. WooCommerce and Shopify are the platforms I build on most. Magento stays available when that is the CMS you already use.

A paid order should create the record, the task, or the email your team expects. That is the bridge to automations. Checkout work covers the cart, the checkout, and the path after payment. Turnaround is agreed in writing before work starts.

  • The catalog

    A WooCommerce or Shopify store on the CMS you already use.

  • Checkout

    Cart and checkout a customer can finish, with their information kept safe.

  • After payment

    The paid order can create the record, task, or email your team expects.

02 The build

How the store is built

WordPress is the base I know best. WordPress is oxygen for me. WooCommerce and Shopify stores can sit with that work or on their own. PHP, MySQL, and the rest of the toolbox are how custom pieces get written when the store needs them. A theme name, a payment gateway, or a shipping plugin is chosen in planning for your store.

Agencies can take this as white-label development. For agency projects, I work white-label under your agency's name. The code is still written by me, not handed to a broker.

03 What you leave with

Deliverables

  • A WooCommerce or Shopify store on the CMS you already use.
  • Cart and checkout that a customer can finish, or a fix when they cannot.
  • Customer information kept safe.
  • An order path that can create the record, task, or email your team expects.
  • Your own test pass after mine, before launch.

04 The recipe

Process

Every project goes through the same six stages. The steps below are how a website is built. Stores and automations go through those same stages.

  1. Step 01 — Discussion

    We talk about the goals of the website. Once we know why you want a new site, we work together to identify the content it needs and the features it should have.

  2. Step 02 — Planning

    Once I understand your needs, I create a plan to design and develop the website to meet your specifications.

  3. Step 03 — Design

    Functionality matters, but good design makes a visitor want to stay. I work on the layout with responsiveness, a user-friendly experience and an aesthetically pleasing look in mind.

  4. Step 04 — Coding

    The most specialized stage. I pride myself on writing clean, organized code, so you have a highly functioning website for years to come.

  5. Step 05 — Testing

    I test the site internally first, then you test it on your end. Everything should work, and it should launch with no loading errors or bugs.

  6. Step 06 — Launch

    The site goes live on your domain for the world to see. I hope you'll come back to me for future updates and digital marketing.

Discussion names what the store must sell and what is already broken, if this is a fix. Planning is the specification for catalog, checkout, and the order handoff. Design is the layout on a phone and on a desk. Coding is the store itself. Testing is internal first, then yours. Launch is the store on your domain.
