Should a Melbourne retailer choose WooCommerce or Shopify?
WooCommerce suits businesses that want full ownership of the store, flexible product and shipping logic and no per-sale platform fees beyond payment processing. Shopify is simpler to start and costs a monthly fee, which suits some sellers. The right answer depends on your catalogue, team and budget, so we compare them honestly in Shopify vs WooCommerce in Australia and recommend what fits, even when that is not WooCommerce.
How do Melbourne makers sell wholesale and retail from one WooCommerce store?
WooCommerce can show different prices and ordering rules to trade customers, usually through wholesale accounts and minimum-order rules, while retail shoppers see the standard store. The set-up depends on how you invoice and ship. We confirm it in the written scope, along with any accounting integration, before work starts. For the budget side read ecommerce website cost in Australia and compare the ecommerce website packages.
