Fast, Bilingual WooCommerce Stores You Fully Own
The flexibility of WordPress, the selling power of WooCommerce, and the Canadian details handled properly, from tax rates to French product pages.
Loubane builds and improves WooCommerce stores on WordPress for businesses in Montreal, Quebec and across Canada. We design the store, configure payments, Canadian sales taxes such as GST/HST and QST, shipping and a French and English catalogue, then optimize speed, security and SEO so your store loads fast, sells reliably and stays fully under your control.
What WooCommerce development is, in plain language
WooCommerce is a free, open-source e-commerce plugin that turns a WordPress website into an online store. Because it runs on WordPress, your content, blog and store live in one place, on hosting you choose, with code and data you fully own. WooCommerce development is the work of designing that store, configuring products, payments, taxes and shipping, choosing extensions carefully, and tuning hosting and code so the store stays fast and secure as it grows.
That flexibility is WooCommerce’s strength, and its risk. A store assembled from random plugins can become slow and fragile. We build lean stores with a clear structure, so you get the freedom of WordPress without the headaches.

Our process
Discover
We look at your catalogue, order volume, existing site, tax registrations and any special features. We decide what WooCommerce handles natively and which extensions are truly needed.
Build
We design, configure and populate the store on a staging site, so your live site is never disrupted. You review a working store before launch.
Launch
We run test orders with each payment method, verify taxes and shipping on Quebec and other Canadian addresses, check both languages, then move the store live with redirects in place.
Grow
We maintain updates and backups, monitor speed, and help you add features, campaigns and content as sales grow.
Tools and platforms we use
- WordPress and WooCommerce, with the block editor or a lightweight theme
- Payment providers available in Canada: WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Moneris
- Multilingual plugins such as WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress
- Shipping extensions for Canada Post and other carriers
- Caching, image optimization and CDN tools, on managed WordPress hosting
- Klaviyo or Mailchimp for email, Google Analytics 4, Google Merchant Center
Quebec and Canadian compliance notes
General information for planning, not legal or tax advice. Your accountant should confirm your registrations and rates.
- Sales taxes: GST/HST applies federally, Quebec adds QST, and some provinces have their own PST. Registration is generally required once taxable revenue passes the $30,000 small supplier threshold. WooCommerce does not decide this for you, so we set rates and tax classes based on what applies to your business.
- French language: under Quebec’s Charter of the French language, commercial content including websites should be available in French, and other languages should not be offered on more favourable terms. Product descriptions and standard terms of sale belong in French too.
- Law 25 privacy: tracking that identifies or profiles visitors should be off until activated. We add a consent banner and connect it to your analytics and pixels, and update your privacy policy.
- Payments security: we use hosted payment fields from your provider so card data is not stored on your server.
- CASL: marketing consent at checkout is an unticked, optional checkbox, synced with your email platform.
We report what you earn, not just clicks
For stores we support after launch, we track:
- Orders, revenue and average order value
- Conversion rate by device, language and traffic source
- Cart and checkout abandonment
- Revenue from organic search, ads and email
- Page load speed and Core Web Vitals on key templates
- Top products and categories, and which content leads to sales
You receive a monthly plain-language report with what changed and what we recommend next.

Frequently asked questions
WooCommerce or Shopify: which is better for my business?
WooCommerce suits businesses that want full ownership, deep customization and strong content on WordPress. Shopify suits merchants who prefer a hosted platform with less technical maintenance. We look at your catalogue, budget, team and growth plans and recommend honestly.
What affects the cost of a WooCommerce store?
Custom design versus a theme, number of products and variants, translation volume, special features like subscriptions or B2B pricing, premium extensions, migration from another platform, and hosting quality. Hosting and premium extensions are paid to their providers.
How long does a WooCommerce project take?
A store added to an existing WordPress site typically launches in 3–6 weeks. A full custom bilingual store or a migration usually takes 6–12 weeks, depending on catalogue size and how ready the product content is.
Do I own the store and its data?
Yes. WooCommerce is open source and runs on hosting in your name, so the site files, database, customer list and order history are yours. We document the setup and hand over all access.
