WooCommerce Development: Your E-Commerce Store in Latvia

WooCommerce is open-source and runs on WordPress — you fully control the code, data, and hosting. Shopify is a SaaS solution with a monthly fee where the platform manages all infrastructure. WooCommerce is more flexible and cheaper long-term but requires more technical maintenance. Shopify is easier to start but less customizable.

WooCommerce can handle tens of thousands of products with properly configured hosting and database optimization. Up to 5,000 products, good shared hosting (from 15 EUR/month) is sufficient. Above 10,000 products, we recommend VPS or a dedicated server. We optimize the database and cache to ensure fast loading even with a large catalog.

In Latvia, WooCommerce supports Stripe (Visa, Mastercard with EUR), PayPal, Montonio (Latvian internet banking — Swedbank, SEB, Citadele, Luminor), Kevin, and Worldline/LHV PayGate. Integration typically takes 1-2 business days, and we ensure full testing before launch.

No, WooCommerce has no product limit — this is one of the main advantages compared to many SaaS platforms. You can add an unlimited number of products, categories, variants, and images. The only limitation is server resources, which can be scaled as needed.

WooCommerce itself is free, but you should budget for hosting (5-30 EUR/month), domain (10-15 EUR/year), SSL certificate (often included with hosting), and premium plugins (50-200 EUR/year). Monthly maintenance with our support starts from 300 EUR. Total annual costs are typically 1,500-3,000 EUR, which is significantly lower than a Shopify subscription.

A basic WooCommerce store (up to 100 products) is developed in 3-4 weeks. The Premium package with advanced features and a larger product catalog requires 4-6 weeks. Enterprise solutions with full customization can take 6-10 weeks. We provide a precise timeline after the initial consultation.
