stores where downtime costs money

When the website is the shop, everything gets more serious.

Checkout that works on a bad connection, stock that matches reality, order emails that arrive, and a phone number that reaches someone who understands both the store and the server it runs on.

THE NUMBER THAT DECIDES EVERYTHING

Orders per hour. Once you can work out what an hour of broken checkout costs, the rest of these decisions make themselves.

What a store has to get right.

Everything else is decoration.

Take money reliably

Every payment method your customers use, on every device, on a bad signal.

Make the catalog findable

Search, filtering and categories that don't require knowing your internal terms.

Tell the truth about stock

Overselling costs you a customer and a refund.

Get orders to the people who ship them

Into the warehouse, accounting and shipping without anyone retyping.

Reassure a first-time buyer

Returns, shipping cost, delivery time and who to contact.

Where stores usually go wrong.

Caching that doesn't understand carts

The most common cause of intermittent store faults.

Payment set up once and never checked

Expired API keys, a fraud filter set too tight, or a 3D Secure step failing quietly on mobile.

Order emails that stop arriving

Nearly always a mail authentication or reputation problem rather than a store bug, which is why store people and hosting people blame each other for weeks.

What store owners ask.

Our checkout fails for some people and we can't reproduce it.

Normal, and diagnosable. Intermittent store failures almost always share a factor: a payment method, a browser, a logged out session, a cached page. The answer is in order records and logs rather than in clicking. One confirmed failure with a time on it is usually enough to start.

Should we move off WooCommerce?

Not automatically. Most stores that have outgrown WooCommerce have actually outgrown their implementation or their hosting. Those are much cheaper problems to fix than a replatform. We'll tell you honestly which one you have.

Can you work with our existing developer?

Yes. That's common, particularly where a store needs specific help with payments, performance or infrastructure alongside ongoing work by somebody else.

Store not doing what it should?

Tell us what it sells, what it connects to, and what goes wrong. That's enough for a useful first conversation.
