A WooCommerce store merchandising can run — checkout you can explain.
We audit the plugin list, keep WooCommerce Checkout native, turn on High-Performance Order Storage, and say honestly whether staying on Woo is still the right store this year.
Theme, checkout, and plugins
Checkout is a pile of plugins
One-page checkout, extra payment fields, popups, and a gift-card plugin that only one contractor understands. The next Woo update is a war room.
We pull checkout plugins off the money path so WooCommerce Checkout stays the checkout. Extra logic lives in one plugin you own.
Checkout stays on WooCommerceExtra logic lives in one plugin you own.
Admin and orders die on sale day
The shop looks fine. wp-admin does not. Orders still live in post meta, object cache is folklore, and staging is a copy from last year.
We turn on High-Performance Order Storage, make staging real, and watch the jobs that stall when the catalog is hot.
Orders that survive sale dayNobody will say if we should leave
A four-week theme refresh on an unmaintained shop, or a silent plan to move to Shopify with no catalog owner.
We say whether WooCommerce is still the right store this year. Stay means an owned plugin list. Leave is a migration, not a four-week theme refresh.
Plugins you actually runOn — recurring orders with a named owner
Off — five plugins doing the same job
Off until someone owns the ops cost
The work we actually deliver.
Plugin audit
Every plugin marked load-bearing, decorative, or dangerous — with an owner, not a graveyard spreadsheet.
Native WooCommerce Checkout
Payments stay on WooCommerce Checkout. Extra fields and popups come off the money path.
High-Performance Order Storage
Orders in HPOS so wp-admin and reports do not die when the catalog is hot — or a written reason it is still off.
Theme merchandising can edit
Blocks and templates merchandising can publish on a Friday without a PHP ticket.
Staging and deploys
A staging copy that is actually staging, and a deploy that is not FTP from a laptop.
Incident runbook
What to do at 2am: payments, cache, and who to call.
Stabilize, rebuild, or exit.
Stabilize
The shop runs, but updates and security patches feel unsafe.
A plugin audit with owners, HPOS where it is earned, and a staging copy that is actually staging.
Rebuild
WordPress stays; the theme and checkout need a new life.
Blocks merchandising can edit, checkout plugins off the money path, and a handover merchandising will open.
Exit
WooCommerce is the source of truth while you replatform.
A coexistence plan. The migration page is the sibling of this one.
No junior hand-offs after the proposal.
You see the real storefront, not a slide deck.
Launch week is the start of the engagement.
Every page leads to a real conversation.
Migration Services
Catalog, customers, URLs, and gift cards moved with a cutover you can staff.
Performance Optimization
Field data on the URLs that make money, then a ranked list of fixes — not a Lighthouse slide.
Shopify Development
Custom themes, Shopify Plus builds, and public/private apps for high-volume merchants.
