E-Commerce Built to
Sell. Not Just Exist.
TIV360 has been building and managing commercial WooCommerce stores since 2013. We know the real costs, the real challenges, and the real work it takes to turn a WordPress store into a business — and we'll guide you through every step of it.
What Most People Don't Know
Before They Start
E-commerce is one of the most rewarding business moves you can make — and one of the most under-budgeted. Here's what TIV360 sees first-time store owners discover the hard way, and what we help you plan for from day one.
It Costs More Than You Think
A functional, competitive WooCommerce store requires real investment — hosting, premium plugins, payment gateway fees, SSL, product photography, and professional development all add up fast. The stores that succeed budget for what's actually needed, not just for what sounds simple.
Nobody Finds You Without SEO & Marketing
Launching a store doesn't bring customers. Without a strong SEO foundation, targeted content strategy, and an active marketing push, a new e-commerce site can take 12–24 months to gain meaningful organic traction. Most stores that fail, fail here — they built a store but skipped the engine that drives traffic to it.
SSL, PCI & Payment Security Are Non-Negotiable
Taking money online means SSL certificate validation, PCI DSS compliance, and a properly configured payment gateway or bank merchant account. Cut corners here and you're exposing your customers — and your business — to serious risk. Every store we build gets this right from the start.
Shipping Is More Complex Than a Price Tag
Flat-rate, weight-based, carrier-calculated, free-shipping thresholds, international shipping rules, dimensional weight pricing — shipping configuration alone can take weeks to get right for physical product stores. Getting it wrong means losing money on every order or driving customers away with sticker shock at checkout.
Inventory Management Gets Complex Fast
Managing stock levels, product variations, backorders, low-stock alerts, and syncing with suppliers or third-party systems is straightforward for 20 products and a nightmare for 2,000. The right inventory architecture from day one saves enormous pain as your catalog grows.
New Stores Have to Earn Trust
Shoppers are skeptical of unfamiliar brands. Reviews, clear return policies, trust badges, secure checkout indicators, professional product photography, and fast page speeds all work together to convert visitors into buyers. A store that looks unfinished or untrustworthy loses sales before anyone clicks Add to Cart.
Everything a Serious
WooCommerce Store Needs
This isn't a feature checklist — it's the foundation. Every item below is something TIV360 plans for and builds into every e-commerce project from the start.
SSL Certificate
SSL encryption is mandatory for any website taking payments. It activates the HTTPS padlock customers trust, satisfies browser security requirements, and is a baseline ranking signal for Google.
Payment Gateway Setup
Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, or a direct bank merchant account — each has different fees, approval requirements, and configuration needs. We set them up correctly and test every transaction path before launch.
PCI DSS Compliance
Any store that processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data must meet PCI compliance standards. We build your store to meet these requirements and advise on annual self-assessment obligations.
Shipping Configuration
Carrier-calculated rates from UPS, FedEx, and USPS, weight and dimension rules, free shipping thresholds, local pickup, and international zones — properly configured so you never lose money on fulfillment.
Inventory Management
Stock tracking, product variations, low-stock alerts, backorder handling, and supplier sync integrations — built to scale as your catalog grows without becoming an operational nightmare.
SEO & Product Optimization
Product schema markup, keyword-optimized titles and descriptions, category page SEO, image alt text, and sitemap configuration — so your products can actually be found in Google search results.
Analytics & Conversion Tracking
GA4 e-commerce tracking, purchase event setup, cart abandonment data, and Google Search Console integration — so you know what's working and where revenue is being lost.
Mobile-First Checkout
Over half of e-commerce traffic is mobile. A checkout flow that frustrates mobile users is a checkout flow that loses sales. Every store we build is tested rigorously on real mobile devices.
Page Speed & Performance
Slow stores lose sales. Image optimization, caching, CDN setup, and Core Web Vitals tuning are built into every launch — not added later when customers are already bouncing.
Transactional Email Setup
Order confirmations, shipping notifications, password resets, and abandoned cart recovery emails — configured through a reliable SMTP service so customers actually receive them.
Legal Pages & Policies
Privacy policy, terms and conditions, return and refund policy, and shipping policy — properly written and linked in your store footer and checkout flow to build trust and protect your business.
Ongoing Maintenance
WooCommerce and its ecosystem of plugins require regular updates, security monitoring, and performance checks. A neglected store is a vulnerable store — and a slow one.

E-Commerce Experience
Across Real Industries
TIV360 has been building and managing commercial e-commerce operations since 2013. That's not just WordPress knowledge — it's hard-won experience navigating the unique challenges of selling online across wildly different industries, product types, and business models.
Every industry has its own compliance requirements, shipping quirks, customer expectations, and technical demands. Having done it before means we can anticipate problems before they cost you money.
Heavy items, dimensional shipping, freight quotes, oversize fees — we've handled the full complexity of large physical product stores.
Cannabis e-commerce requires age verification, compliance-aware payment processing, and platform-specific restrictions we know how to navigate.
Selling professional time slots online requires scheduling logic, availability management, and payment collection that standard WooCommerce needs customized to handle.
Trading card stores need condition-based pricing, population data, authentication workflows, and collector-specific UX that generic store themes don't support.
Food delivery requires delivery zone logic, time-slot ordering windows, and checkout flows built around fulfillment constraints — not a standard WooCommerce install.
Travel package stores need date-range availability, capacity management, per-person pricing, and custom booking confirmation flows that require real development work.
Where Your E-Commerce
Budget Actually Goes
Most e-commerce budget surprises come from underestimating recurring costs and the investment needed to drive traffic. Here's the honest breakdown TIV360 walks every client through before we start.
Build & Setup
Development, theme customization, plugin licensing, payment gateway setup, SSL, product upload, and launch testing. This is one-time — but it's not cheap if done right.
Hosting & Recurring Fees
Managed WordPress hosting, payment gateway transaction fees, plugin renewals, and SSL maintenance add up monthly. Plan for these before launch, not after your first month's invoice.
SEO & Content Marketing
This is where most stores under-invest and then wonder why no one finds them. Organic SEO takes time and consistent effort — budget for it as a long-term line item, not a one-time task.
Paid Advertising
While SEO builds over time, paid traffic — Google Shopping, Meta ads — can drive early sales. This accelerates results but requires its own ongoing budget and active management.
How TIV360 Builds
Your WooCommerce Store
A clear, proven process built on 13 years of e-commerce project experience — so nothing critical gets skipped and no surprises show up after launch.
Store Strategy & Planning
Before any design or development, we map your business model, product catalog, target customer, shipping requirements, and payment needs. This planning phase prevents costly rebuilds and missed requirements that sink e-commerce projects.
Design & UX Architecture
We design your store with conversion in mind — product pages built to sell, a checkout flow designed to close, and a mobile experience that doesn't frustrate buyers. You see exactly how your store will look before we build it.
Development, Configuration & Testing
We build the store, configure every system — shipping, payments, inventory, SEO, analytics — and test every transaction path, device type, and edge case on a staging environment before anything goes live.
Launch & Traffic Strategy
After final approval we launch, handle all the technical go-live setup, and walk you through operating your store. Critically, we also map out the SEO and marketing steps needed to start driving real traffic — because a store without visitors is just an expensive website.
