02 What we do
WooCommerce work, from first build to daily running.
01
New WooCommerce builds
A WooCommerce store designed around your products and the way your customers buy: a clear category structure, product pages a first-time buyer can follow and a short checkout. It runs on WordPress in your name, so there is no monthly platform fee and you can manage products, prices and orders yourself. Still deciding between platforms? Our ecommerce website design page covers the wider choice, Shopify included.
02
Fixes for stores that are misbehaving
A checkout that throws errors, payments that fail, a plugin update that broke the basket, order emails that never arrive, a layout that falls apart on a phone. Send us the address and we look at the store as it stands, tell you what is wrong and quote the fix in writing before any work starts. It does not matter who built it. Most of the sites we look after started life with someone else.
03
WooCommerce speed work
A slow store loses baskets. We find what is holding yours back, whether that is oversized images, too many plugins, a heavy theme or hosting that is not up to the job, and fix the causes in order of impact. If the hosting itself is part of the problem we will say so and you decide. Moving is an option, never a condition.
04
Migrations to WooCommerce
Moving from Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or an older custom shop? We carry your products, customers and orders across carefully and keep the URLs that already rank, so you do not lose your Google positions in the move. Where an address has to change, the old one is redirected to the new one. Ongoing SEO then builds on rankings you have kept, not ones you have to win back.
05
Payment, shipping and stock integrations
Card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, Irish and international shipping rules, tax, stock control and order emails, set up and tested before anything goes live. If your store has to talk to a stock system, an accounts package or a CRM, tell us early. Integrations are where a simple job becomes a bigger one, so we scope and price them up front.
06
Ongoing WooCommerce support
WooCommerce, WordPress and their plugins need regular updates, and updates applied without care are how stores break. A care plan covers updates, security, backups and small changes, quoted per plan on what your store needs. You deal with one person who knows your store, not a ticket queue. The detail is on our website support page, and once a store is running well many owners use our Google Ads management to bring in more orders.

05 Common questions
WooCommerce, answered plainly.
The questions store owners ask us most, with the same answers you would get on the phone.
How much does WooCommerce development cost in Ireland?
A new Brandstart online store starts from €2,500 excluding VAT, and the Irish market range for an online store runs from roughly €3,500 to €15,000+ depending on scale. Fixes, speed work and integrations on an existing store are priced on scope: we agree an hourly rate or a fixed cost in writing before any work starts. Our web design cost guide for Ireland sets out every figure and what moves it.
Can you take over a WooCommerce store someone else built?
Yes, it is most of what we do. We assess the store as it stands, tell you what it needs and take it from there. You do not need an awkward conversation with your old developer first, and you do not need to know which theme or plugins it runs on. Send the address and the health check will tell you that too.
How quickly can you fix a broken store?
Once a quote is agreed, most fixes and updates start the same week. If something is properly broken, such as a checkout that will not take payments, say so when you get in touch. Urgent problems jump the queue.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I move to WooCommerce?
Not if the move is handled properly. We migrate your products, customers and orders across carefully and keep the URLs that already rank, so Google finds the same pages where it left them. Where an address has to change, the old one is redirected to the new one. If you want to build on those rankings after the move, that is where our SEO services come in.
Do I have to move my hosting?
No. We work on your store wherever it lives. If the hosting itself is part of the problem, whether slow, insecure or overpriced, the health check will say so and you decide. Moving is an option, never a condition.
What does ongoing WooCommerce support cost?
Care plans are quoted per plan, based on what your store needs, and you see the figure before you commit. For context, the Irish market range for website care and maintenance is €50 to €150 a month, as set out in our cost guide. One-off jobs are quoted separately, and the health check that starts it all is free. See website support for how it works.
Is WooCommerce the right platform for my shop?
Often, but not always. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so you own everything and pay no monthly platform fee, which suits owners who want full control. Shopify is hosted and hands-off, which suits owners who want fewer moving parts. We set out the trade-offs in our comparison of WordPress and Shopify for Irish stores, and our ecommerce website design page covers builds on either platform.
Where are you based?
Brandstart is based in Ballyroan, Co. Laois, and we work with store owners all over Ireland. You deal with the same person from the first call to the finished job, not a ticket queue.
