eCommerce built
to convert, not
just launch.

WooCommerce is the right choice for most stores: it's mature, has a large plugin ecosystem, launches faster, and suits teams comfortable with WordPress. Custom Laravel eCommerce is right when your business logic is too complex for plugins — multi-vendor marketplaces, B2B pricing rules, subscription products with complex proration, eCommerce embedded into a larger SaaS platform, or any situation where you want full codebase ownership without plugin licensing costs. I'll give you an honest recommendation after a discovery call.

Yes. Multi-vendor marketplaces require vendor onboarding and approval workflows, per-vendor product management, commission calculation, Stripe Connect for splitting payments and automating payouts, and separate vendor dashboards for managing orders and earnings. I build this on custom Laravel for full flexibility or on WooCommerce with Dokan/WC Vendors as a starting foundation with custom development on top.

I integrate all major gateways: Stripe (including Stripe Connect for marketplaces), PayPal, Braintree, Moneris (for Canadian businesses), Bambora, and others via REST API. For mobile stores, I add Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe. Every integration includes hosted fields for PCI compliance (card data never touches your server), webhook-driven order fulfillment, refund flows, and saved payment methods for repeat purchases.

A standard WooCommerce store with a custom theme, payment integration, and basic shipping setup starts from $3,000–$7,000. A feature-rich WooCommerce store with subscriptions, advanced filtering, and CRM integration typically ranges from $7,000–$18,000. A custom Laravel eCommerce platform starts from $10,000 and scales with complexity. Multi-vendor marketplaces start from $15,000. I provide a detailed quote after understanding your specific requirements.

A standard WooCommerce store takes 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. A full-featured store with custom theme, multiple payment gateways, and CRM integrations takes 8–14 weeks. A custom Laravel eCommerce platform takes 12–20 weeks. A multi-vendor marketplace takes 16–24 weeks. These timelines assume clear requirements from the start — I'll give you a more accurate estimate after the discovery call where we scope everything properly.

Yes — performance audits, checkout optimization, payment gateway upgrades, plugin conflicts, and custom feature additions are all work I do on existing stores. If your store is slow, the checkout is losing customers, or you need a new feature that your current theme or plugins don't support, I can audit the existing setup and give you a clear plan with prioritized fixes and their expected impact.
