A WooCommerce ecommerce website in Australia can range from around $900 to $10,000+ ex-GST, depending on catalogue size, design and integrations. With us there are four store plans: a Micro Store with up to 10 products from $900 ex-GST, a Starter Store with up to 50 products at $1,500 ex-GST, a Growth Store with up to 150 products at $2,500 ex-GST, and a Premium Store with up to 300 products from $3,900 ex-GST. Larger catalogues, subscriptions and custom integrations are quoted on application. Ongoing costs are hosting, your domain and payment gateway transaction fees — billed separately and disclosed up front. Every project is scoped on a call so you get a fixed quote with no hidden fees, all in AUD, ex-GST.
Our WooCommerce ecommerce website development starts from $900 ex-GST for a Micro Store with up to 10 simple products. A Starter Store with up to 50 products is $1,500 ex-GST, a Growth Store with up to 150 products is $2,500 ex-GST, and a Premium Store with up to 300 products starts from $3,900 ex-GST. Larger catalogues, subscriptions and custom integrations are quoted on application. We scope every project on a call so you get a fixed quote with no hidden fees — all prices in AUD, ex-GST.
Both are capable platforms. Shopify is a hosted, all-in-one subscription with a fast setup but a monthly fee and, on lower plans, a per-transaction fee unless you use Shopify Payments. WooCommerce is open-source and runs on your own WordPress hosting — no platform or per-transaction fees, you own your store and data outright, and it’s highly customisable and integrates with your existing site and marketing stack. WooCommerce suits businesses that want control, content and SEO alongside the store and lower long-term fees; Shopify can suit those who prefer a fully managed platform. We build on WooCommerce and will give you an honest comparison for your situation at the quote stage.
It depends on the plan. A Micro Store takes around 1–2 weeks, a Starter Store 2–3 weeks, and a Growth Store 3–4 weeks. A Premium Store with a larger catalogue, bespoke design, subscriptions or a migration takes around 6–8 weeks. Timelines depend on how quickly product data, images and content are supplied. We confirm a realistic schedule with milestones at the start of the project.
For most Australian stores, Stripe and PayPal cover card and wallet payments, while Afterpay and Zip add the buy-now-pay-later options many AU shoppers expect. We also support most Australian bank payment gateways. We configure the gateways that suit your product type, margins and customers, with GST and shipping zones set up for the AU market before you go live.

Store speed comes from the build, not just a plugin. We use efficient page templates, optimise and compress product images, configure caching with BerqWP and serve assets through Cloudflare. A faster store improves the shopping experience and supports conversion and search performance, especially on mobile data.
