E-commerce website development for Australian businesses, built on WooCommerce.
Local payment gateways, shipping rules that match how you actually post things, GST handled correctly, and a checkout short enough that people finish it.
Selling online means getting dozens of unglamorous details right. Shipping zones, tax settings, stock behaviour, refund handling and order emails all have to work before a single sale completes.
Get one wrong and you either lose the sale at checkout or spend your week answering emails about it.
What our e-commerce development covers
- WooCommerce build and configuration from a clean install, not a bundled demo you have to unpick
- Australian payment gateways — Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, Zip and direct bank transfer where you want it
- Shipping zones and rates for domestic, regional and international delivery, including flat, weight-based and free-threshold rules
- GST and tax settings configured so your prices and invoices are right from the first order
- Product import with variations, images, stock levels and categories
- Branded order emails that look like your business rather than a default template
- Checkout optimisation — fewer fields, guest checkout, visible postage costs and trust signals where they matter
- Product schema so prices, stock and reviews can appear in search results
Where online stores lose sales
Surprise postage
Shipping revealed only at the final step is the most common reason carts get abandoned. We show delivery costs early, on the product page where possible.
Forced account creation
Making a first-time buyer register before paying costs you sales. Guest checkout stays on, with an optional account offered after purchase.
Slow product pages
Large uncompressed product photography is the usual cause. Every image gets sized and compressed for the slot it occupies.
Thin product information
Missing dimensions, materials or delivery times send buyers to a competitor who answered the question. We structure product pages to pre-empt it.
E-commerce SEO
Online stores have SEO problems that brochure sites never face. Product variations can generate dozens of near-identical URLs. Filters create endless crawlable combinations. Out-of-stock products get deleted, taking their rankings and backlinks with them.
We set canonical URLs on variations, control which filtered views are crawlable, keep discontinued product URLs working, and write category pages that can rank in their own right. More on our services page.
Store questions
Why WooCommerce rather than Shopify?
WooCommerce means no monthly platform fee, no transaction cut beyond your payment gateway, and complete control over the code. Shopify is simpler to run but you rent the platform and work within its rules. We are happy to talk through which suits your situation.
How many products can you load?
Our standard package covers a set number, with bulk import available for larger catalogues. Supply a clean spreadsheet and thousands of products is routine.
Can you connect it to my accounting software?
Yes. Xero and MYOB integrations are common requests, as is syncing stock with a point-of-sale system. See custom development for that kind of work.
Do you handle Afterpay and Zip?
Both, plus Stripe and PayPal. You will need your own merchant accounts, and we will configure each gateway and test real transactions before launch.
What about an existing store that is underperforming?
We audit the checkout flow, speed, product pages and search visibility, then give you a prioritised list of fixes ranked by likely impact.
