SELLING FROM WORDPRESS

Adding a cart to WordPress and the stack that comes with it

WordPress can absolutely sell. The question is what you take on to get there: a store plugin, then the extensions it needs, then keeping all of it updated and compatible. The full guide to adding a shopping cart to your website covers what that work involves.
WHAT TO KNOW

The parts that decide it and the ones that quietly cost you

It is a stack, not a switch
The store plugin is the start. Payments, shipping and subscriptions usually arrive as separate paid extensions.
Upkeep is the real cost
Every plugin is one more thing to update, renew and occasionally repair after it breaks something else.
Speed suffers
A stack of plugins is heavier than one system built to do the same jobs.
Renewals add up
Individually modest, annually not, and they renew whether or not you used them.
You own it, genuinely
The upside of WordPress is real: the content and the site are yours to move.
The alternative
One system with the store, bookings, chat and SEO already in it, built for you.

QUESTIONS

Before you ask

The store plugin is often free, and then the pieces most businesses need arrive as paid extensions that renew yearly. The upkeep of keeping them compatible is the part rarely priced in.
Yes. One platform where the store is native rather than assembled, designed and built for you from $100.
Your site is created by top Instinctor designers (Instinctor is a design awards nominee) for a one-time fee from $100, or from $200 for an online store or restaurant. We text you the design quote and the monthly cost before you commit to anything. No setup fee, no per-booking fees, no cut of your payments.
It is $35 a month and it is optional. It covers the ongoing work of being found: position checks, content that answers what people are actually searching for, and the profile and technical work behind it. Every action is performed by hand, not by a tool. Two of the sites we manage reached the first page of Google within a few months.
Yes. You see the completed website, built with your own content and your own photographs, before anything is published. Nothing goes live until you have looked at it and said so.
