Hire Senior WooCommerce Developers Who’ve Built High-Revenue WordPress Stores

WooCommerce powers over 25% of all online stores — and the difference between a $100K store and a $10M store is almost entirely in the engineering. Custom checkout flows, performance optimization for high-traffic product catalogs, advanced pricing rules, and subscription billing systems require engineers who understand WooCommerce at the code level, not just the admin panel.

We match you with senior WooCommerce developers who’ve built and scaled high-revenue WordPress e-commerce stores — engineers who understand the WooCommerce data model, hook system, REST API, and the hosting and caching architecture that makes WordPress perform at scale.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based WooCommerce talent.

What Our WooCommerce Developers Build

Custom WooCommerce Plugin Development

Business-critical custom plugins built on WooCommerce’s hook and filter system: custom payment gateways, advanced shipping methods, custom product types, B2B pricing and user roles, and subscription billing extensions.

High-Performance WooCommerce Architecture

Server stack optimization (Nginx, PHP-FPM, OPcache), Redis object caching, full-page caching with WP Rocket or Kinsta/WP Engine’s stack, and database query optimization for catalogs with thousands of products. WooCommerce scales when the infrastructure is right.

Custom Checkout & Cart Optimization

Checkout flow redesigns that reduce friction and improve conversion: one-page checkout, custom checkout fields, conditional shipping and payment methods, cart abandonment recovery, and upsell/cross-sell logic integrated into the WooCommerce cart.

WooCommerce Subscriptions & Recurring Revenue

WooCommerce Subscriptions integration and customization, custom subscription logic for SaaS and membership models, upgrade/downgrade flows, dunning management, and integrations with Stripe’s billing APIs for complex recurring payment scenarios.

Headless WooCommerce

React/Next.js frontends powered by WooCommerce REST API and WPGraphQL. Decoupled architecture for stores that need modern frontend performance while keeping WooCommerce as the commerce backend.

WooCommerce: WooCommerce 8.x, WooCommerce Blocks, WooCommerce REST API, WPGraphQL

WordPress: WordPress 6.x, Gutenberg, Block Editor, Custom Post Types, Advanced Custom Fields

Client Success Story: Subscription Box — $6M ARR on Custom WooCommerce Platform

A subscription box company with a complex product customization model — subscribers chose products from a rotating catalog each month — couldn’t find a WooCommerce plugin that matched their flow. Our developers built a custom subscription engine on WooCommerce Subscriptions with a custom product selection wizard, dunning logic for failed payments, pause/skip functionality, and a subscriber-facing account portal. Churn rate dropped 22% after the improved subscriber experience launched. Monthly subscriber count grew from 12,000 to 31,000 within 18 months. The platform now drives $6M ARR.

Client Success Story: B2B Wholesale Portal — 60% Reduction in Manual Order Processing

A food distribution company was processing wholesale orders through email and phone — a manual, error-prone process that couldn’t scale. Our WooCommerce developers built a custom B2B portal on WooCommerce: tiered pricing based on customer account type, minimum order quantities, case-pack ordering, credit account terms, and a custom order approval workflow for high-value orders. Manual order processing hours dropped 60%. Average B2B order value increased 34% because buyers could see their full catalog and pricing without waiting for a sales rep quote.

Why Companies Choose Our WooCommerce Developers

• WordPress-native expertise: They understand WordPress and WooCommerce at the code level — hooks, filters, REST API, and data model
• Performance specialists: WooCommerce’s performance reputation comes from poor implementation — our engineers know how to make it fast
• CRO fluency: Checkout optimization, cart UX, and conversion improvement are part of the build process
• 50% cost savings: Senior WooCommerce expertise at a fraction of US market rates
• Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

• Individual WooCommerce Developer — One senior developer for custom plugin development, performance optimization, or ongoing store development.
• WooCommerce Pods (2–3 developers) — WooCommerce developer paired with a frontend developer and DevOps. Common for store rebuilds or major feature development.
• E-Commerce Teams (3–6+ engineers) — Complete squads for high-revenue WooCommerce stores with ongoing development and optimization needs.
• Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate a developer’s WooCommerce output before committing long-term.

How To Vet WooCommerce Developers

Our vetting identifies developers who understand WooCommerce’s architecture — not just its admin settings.

1. Technical screening — WooCommerce hook and filter system, data model (order, product, customer objects), REST API, custom plugin architecture, and WordPress performance fundamentals. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Code review exercise — Evaluate a WooCommerce plugin for correctness: hook priority, data sanitization, escaping, WPCS compliance, and extensibility.
3. Live coding challenge — Build a custom WooCommerce product type or checkout field with proper integration into the WooCommerce data model.
4. Communication screening — WooCommerce developers work closely with merchants and marketers who need technical trade-offs explained simply.

What to Look for When Hiring WooCommerce Developers

Strong WooCommerce developers extend the platform correctly — they don’t hack core files.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They use WooCommerce’s hook and filter system correctly — they’ve built custom plugins, not modified core files
• They understand WordPress and WooCommerce data models: post types, taxonomies, order meta, product meta, and the CRUD API
• They’ve optimized WooCommerce performance with real tooling: Query Monitor, New Relic, Redis object caching
• They understand WordPress security: data sanitization, escaping, nonces, capability checks, and SQL injection prevention

Red flags to watch for:

• Modifies WooCommerce or WordPress core files instead of using hooks and filters — these changes break on every update
• “Performance optimization” means installing a caching plugin — not profiling slow queries or implementing Redis
• No experience with WooCommerce’s REST API or programmatic order/product management
• No security awareness: unescaped output, unsanitized input, or missing nonce checks

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through how you’d add a custom field to the WooCommerce checkout that’s saved to the order and displayed in the admin. What hooks do you use?”
• “A WooCommerce store is timing out under 100 concurrent users. Walk me through your diagnostic process and performance optimization approach.”
• “How would you build a custom product type in WooCommerce that has pricing calculated from user inputs rather than a fixed price?”
