Stores that have to talk to the rest of the business
WooCommerce Development ServicesCustom stores, Microsoft Dynamics sync and ongoing care
Your store has to talk to the systems your staff already use, and it cannot stop selling while someone changes it. We build and take over WooCommerce stores on those terms. We have run one high-volume Belgian store for three years, moving it from PHP 7.4 to the current release and keeping its orders in sync with Dynamics.
The beverage retailer is a three-year engagement on WooCommerce, covering everything from hosting to change requests. The water-treatment supplier is a fixed-scope WordPress site whose enquiries go straight into Dynamics, with no one re-typing them.
Three years keeping a high-volume Belgian WooCommerce store up, fast and in sync with Microsoft Dynamics: PHP 7.4 to current, two-hourly backups to S3-compatible storage, monitoring, and every change request handled.
WordPress website plus an integration that sends enquiries and customer data straight into Microsoft Dynamics for a Belgian supplier of water-treatment systems to businesses. Fixed-scope project.
If your sales or finance team works in Dynamics, a sale should reach them without anyone copying it. This is the order we build that in.
Map the records
We agree which WooCommerce fields become which Dynamics fields for orders and customers, and which system owns each one when they disagree.
Validate before sending
A bad postcode or a missing tax code is caught and reported, rather than failing silently in Dynamics days later.
Retry on failure
Sync runs in the background, using Action Scheduler where it fits, the job queue that also processes WooCommerce webhooks. If Dynamics is unavailable the store keeps selling and the record is sent later.
Leave a record
Staff can see what was sent and what failed, without asking a developer.
WooCommerce development work
WooCommerce is a good fit when you want to own your store and change anything in it. It also means someone has to look after it, so we plan for that from the start.
Custom plugins
Pricing rules, checkout steps and fulfilment logic written as a plugin you own, instead of several extensions that nearly do it.
Taking over an existing store
We audit the theme, plugins, PHP version and hosting, then improve it in steps while it keeps trading, which is how the Belgian store was rebuilt.
PHP and plugin upgrades
Moving an older store to a current PHP release means checking every plugin and the theme first. We have done this from PHP 7.4 on a live, high-volume store.
High-Performance Order Storage
HPOS stores orders in dedicated tables, and has been the default for new stores since WooCommerce 8.2. Existing stores must opt in, and an incompatible extension blocks the switch. We find and fix those.
Speed under load
Page-speed monitoring, database work and caching that keeps carts and checkouts uncached, so busy periods do not become the moment the store slows down.
Backups you can restore
On the store we run, backups go to S3-compatible object storage every two hours, with tested restores. An order database changes too quickly for a nightly copy to be enough.
How a WooCommerce project runs
Whether it starts from a new store or an existing one, nothing changes on the live site until it has worked on a copy.
01
Audit or brief
For an existing store, we review the theme, plugins, PHP version and order volume. For a new one, we start with your catalogue, checkout and what has to connect to what.
02
Fixed scope
You get a written scope and a price. Integrations are specified field by field before anyone writes code.
03
Build on staging
Work happens on a copy of the store, with test orders run through payment and into the connected systems, and weekly demos on most projects.
04
Go live, then keep it running
We release outside your busiest hours with a backup taken first. After that you can move to a care plan, or we hand over to your team.
WooCommerce care plans
Two plans for after the build, or for a store that already exists.
Premium
Daily updates and backups, with a small-edits allowance
Can you connect WooCommerce to Microsoft Dynamics?
Yes. We have built this twice for Belgian companies: order and customer sync on a high-volume WooCommerce store, and on a WordPress site for a water-treatment supplier, an integration that pushes enquiries and customer data into Dynamics with mapping, validation and retry on failure.
Why not use an off-the-shelf connector?
If one fits your fields and your process, use it, and it will cost less. We build a custom integration when your mapping or error handling does not fit a connector, and we will tell you which case you are in after looking at both systems.
Have you taken over a WooCommerce store from someone else?
Yes. The Belgian beverage store is an example: we took it over and rebuilt it progressively inside a maintenance engagement rather than starting again. It is now newer, faster and better integrated than when we took it on.
Should we switch on High-Performance Order Storage?
Usually yes, once your extensions support it. New stores from WooCommerce 8.2 have it on by default. On an existing store, WooCommerce will not let you switch while an incompatible extension is active, and custom code that reads orders directly from the posts tables needs rewriting first.
How much does WooCommerce development cost?
Projects are quoted at a fixed price after we have seen the store or the brief, and we do not publish a project price band. Care plans have published prices: Premium USD 89/month or Enterprise USD 159/month.
