WordPress + WooCommerce e-commerce website creation: sell online without depending on Amazon

Food shops, wines, clothing, home decor, beauty, artisan products… A proprietary online store, commission-free, that scales with you.

Do you recognize yourself?

€5,040 in Airbnb commissions per year

Amazon, Etsy, eBay: 12 to 30% commission on every sale + complete dependency on their algorithm.

Shopify: $29–$299/month in perpetuity + additional Stripe commission + lock-in (difficult to migrate).

You want your brand, your design, your customer experience — not a standardized template.

No dedicated product SEO: invisible on Google when a client searches directly for your product type.

You have a physical store and want a proper, integrated click & collect — not a botched Shopify workaround.

You want to own the customer data (CRM, post-sale emails) — impossible on marketplaces.

the e-commerce creation via WooCommerce remains in 2026 the best flexibility/cost/SEO value on the market — vs. Shopify (limited on SEO and costly over time), vs. PrestaShop (losing momentum). Iliade Digital builds custom online stores for brick-and-mortar shops with click-and-collect, makers and artisans (ceramics, jewelry, natural cosmetics), wine estates and wine merchants (excise management, specialist shipping), B2B brands with client-specific pricing, and local short-supply-chain producers (produce boxes, digital CSA schemes). From €3,500 ex-VAT for a standard setup, up to €10,000 ex-VAT for complex platforms (multi-vendor, subscriptions, ERP integration).

You want to sell your products online without depending on Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify ? Iliade Digital builds e-commerce sites WordPress + WooCommerce that are 100% yours — no platform commission, no perpetual subscription, no lock-in.

Sector FAQ

Frequently asked questions — WooCommerce E-commerce

WordPress + WooCommerce vs. Shopify: why choose WP?

Shopify is faster to launch but limits your freedom: \$29–\$299/month in perpetuity, Shopify commissions (0.5–2% + Stripe), paid themes, paid plugins (apps) — quickly adding \$100–\$200/month on top. WooCommerce costs ~€25/month (hosting only) in perpetuity, with no Shopify commission, infinite customization, and 100% ownership. Over 3–5 years, savings of €5,000 to €15,000. The downside: a slightly steeper initial learning curve (which we absorb for you).

How much does a WooCommerce e-commerce site cost?

Starter e-commerce pack €3,500 ex-VAT: catalog up to 100 products, Stripe payments, France delivery, product SEO, responsive design. Advanced pack €5,500 ex-VAT: unlimited catalog, multilingual, multi-carrier, CRM integrations, GA4 Enhanced Ecommerce. Custom platform (10,000+ products, ERP integrations, marketplace): custom quote.

How long does it take to launch an online store?

Starter Pack: 6 weeks (product audit + categorization + product import + design + testing + launch). Advanced Pack: 8–10 weeks. Custom platform: 12–20 weeks. Lead times are contractually specified in the quote. If exceeded, you are refunded.

How do I get my products to rank on Google?

Three levers: (1) schema.org Product + Offer + Review on every product page, (2) unique content per page (long description, product FAQ, video where possible), (3) Google Merchant Center connected with an automatic product feed. In low-competition markets, first rankings in 2–3 months. In saturated markets (apparel, home decor), allow 6–12 months with an aggressive content strategy.

Do you handle migration from Shopify / Etsy / Amazon?

Yes — product catalog export, WooCommerce import, order history migration (optional), customer history migration (optional), 301 redirects to preserve SEO (Shopify URLs → WooCommerce URLs). Allow 2–3 additional weeks in the project. Migration pack €890 ex-VAT as an option.

How do you handle shipping costs and EU VAT?

"WooCommerce Shipping" module to manage France + EU with rules by zone, weight, and price. VAT handled automatically with the TaxJar or Avalara module for EU One-Stop Shop (OSS). For wine/alcohol sales, country-by-country restriction management (EU / USA / Switzerland) with age verification at checkout.

Can WooCommerce handle 1,000+ products?

No problem — we have deployed catalogs of 5,000 to 15,000 products on optimized WooCommerce platforms (managed hosting such as Kinsta, optimized database, Object Cache Pro, CDN). Beyond 20,000 products, we study a headless setup (Next.js + WP API) for ultimate performance.
