Your own store. No commissions. Full control.
We build WooCommerce stores that are fast, mobile-first, and ready to sell from day one — with payment gateway, shipping, and inventory all connected. Your data, your brand, your margin.
Selling on a marketplace is the fastest way to start — but it is also the most expensive way to grow. Every sale you make on Shopee, Tokopedia, or Lazada pays a commission to the platform, leaves your customer data in someone else's database, and builds brand recognition for the marketplace, not for you. A well-built WooCommerce store changes all of that: you keep your margin, own your data, and build an asset that grows in value over time.
- WooCommerce — open source, self-hosted, no monthly platform fee or per-transaction cut.
- Payment gateway included — Midtrans / Xendit (ID) or Stripe / PayPal (international).
- Training included — you will be able to manage your own store from week one.
Own store vs. marketplace — the real numbers
The hidden cost of marketplace dependency compounds quietly. Here is what a business selling AUD 10,000/month gives away:
| Marketplace only | Own store + marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform commission | 8–15% per sale | 0% on own store sales |
| Customer data | Platform owns it | You own it fully |
| Brand visibility | Buried among competitors | Your domain, your brand |
| Algorithm risk | Revenue can drop overnight | You control your channel |
| SEO value | Builds marketplace domain authority | Builds your own domain authority |
| Repeat purchase tools | Limited, owned by platform | Email list, loyalty, remarketing |
What is included in every store build
Every package — regardless of tier — includes these foundations:

Frequently asked questions
Why build your own store instead of selling on a marketplace?
Marketplaces charge 5–15% commission on every sale, own your customer data, and can change their algorithm or fees without notice. Your own store eliminates commissions, gives you full data ownership, and builds brand equity that compounds over time. Most successful sellers run both — but their own store is where margins are protected.
What payment methods can you integrate?
For Indonesian stores: Midtrans or Xendit — covering bank transfer, QRIS, GoPay, OVO, Dana, ShopeePay, credit/debit cards, and COD. For international stores: Stripe or PayPal. We configure and test the complete checkout flow before handover.
Can I manage the store myself after launch?
Yes. WooCommerce has a straightforward admin interface. All stores include a training session covering: adding products, managing orders, processing refunds, running promotions, and reading sales reports. Most clients manage their own store confidently within the first week.
How long does it take to build an online store?
Starter stores: 2–3 weeks. Business stores: 3–5 weeks. Premium stores: 5–8 weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly product content (photos, descriptions, prices) is provided by the client. We provide a content checklist at the start to keep things on track.
What is the difference between WooCommerce and Shopify?
Shopify is a hosted platform — you pay USD 39–399/month plus transaction fees, and Shopify owns the infrastructure. WooCommerce is open-source and self-hosted — you own the site and data, with no platform fees. For Indonesian businesses, WooCommerce integrates more naturally with local payment gateways. Long-term, WooCommerce is significantly cheaper and gives full ownership.
I already sell on Tokopedia/Shopee — do I still need my own store?
Yes — and keep both. Marketplaces give you reach; your own store gives you margin and data. The optimal strategy is to use marketplaces for discovery and top-of-funnel, then convert repeat customers to your own store where the economics are better for you.
