FAQ
Ecommerce: questions we get asked
Should I use Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits most small UK shops because hosting, security and payments are built in. WooCommerce suits businesses that already run WordPress or want lower monthly platform fees.
Do you upload my products?
Yes. Up to 15 products are included, with SEO titles, descriptions and image optimisation. Larger catalogues are priced per batch.
Can you connect my shop to Google Shopping?
Yes. We set up your Google Merchant Center feed so your products can appear in Google Shopping and in free product listings.
