Shopify to WooCommerce
Scope the store migration together with changes to the ordering journey. At GM Keramik, the brief was to leave a costly Shopify setup and focus on local pickup.

Custom WooCommerce plugins, checkout improvements and integrations. Built by Jonas Stenild on WordPress and PHP, with your store’s existing setup in mind.
WooCommerce development around your daily work
Your store needs to fit what you sell and how you handle orders. Here are three types of project I can help with.
Pickup, checkout and integrations
We establish how customers order, how products reach them and which systems need the order. The test plan follows the journey from product to order management.
Custom plugins and product rules
A specific rule for products, shipping or data can live in a plugin. My published Product 404 Redirects demonstrates a focused feature: handling old product links.
From a specific requirement to a tested delivery
GM Keramik: Shopify to WooCommerce and local pickup documents a platform move with a clear business purpose. Also explore my published WooCommerce extension Product 404 Redirects.
For your project we agree the scope, affected data, launch plan and responsibility for ongoing operation. Delivery includes the agreed configuration or code, relevant test results and handover. Hosting, licences and maintenance are part of the cost discussion.
- For pickup: can the customer select the intended option, and can staff handle the order afterwards?
- For an integration: what happens on a timeout or a repeated message?
- For a migration: do old product links work, and can visitors find the same item or a relevant alternative?

Why WooCommerce
Your WordPress store. More possibilities.
WooCommerce combines content and commerce on WordPress. Theme, extension and hosting choices affect both day-to-day operation and future development.
An established platform
WordPress and WooCommerce offer a broad ecosystem of extensions and developers. We first assess whether an existing plugin covers the requirement.
WordPress Ecosystem
Built on top of WordPress, WooCommerce inherits a massive plugin ecosystem, a mature theming layer, and a community of millions of developers. Integrations are virtually limitless.
Unmatched Flexibility
Open-source at its core, WooCommerce gives you full control over every aspect of your store. Its hooks and filters architecture means any behavior can be extended or overridden with a custom plugin.
What I Build
Make your store work your way.
Purpose-built extensions for your checkout, catalog, administration and everyday operations.
Payment Gateways
Integration with the agreed payment provider. We establish existing extensions, webhooks and refunds, then test relevant payment journeys in the provider’s test environment.
Shipping Calculators
Custom shipping rate calculators with carrier API integrations, zone-based pricing, weight and dimension rules, real-time rate lookups, and label generation.
Product Customizers
Custom product option builders, configurators, and personalization tools. Let customers build their own products with dynamic pricing, conditional logic, and visual previews.
Checkout Modifications
Custom checkout fields, multi-step checkout flows, conditional field display, order validation rules, and post-purchase actions that streamline the buying experience.
Subscription Plugins
Recurring payment handling, subscription lifecycle management, plan switching, prorated billing, renewal reminders, and customer self-service portals for subscription-based stores.
Inventory Management
Stock tracking, warehouse integrations, low-stock alerts, bulk import/export, supplier management, and multi-location inventory sync plugins for complex fulfillment needs.
REST API Integrations
Connect WooCommerce to ERPs, CRMs, PIM systems, marketing platforms, and any external service using the WooCommerce REST API and custom endpoints with proper authentication.

Development Process
From store challenge to working solution.
A practical process with a clear scope, compatibility checks and support after launch. Explore each step below.
SELECT A STEP TO READ MOREDiscovery & Scoping
We start by defining the exact problem the plugin needs to solve. I review your store setup, WooCommerce version, existing plugins, and business requirements to create a detailed technical specification.
Architecture & Planning
I design the plugin architecture around WordPress coding standards and WooCommerce best practices. Hook strategy, database design, API contracts, and admin interface wireframes are all mapped out before a line of code is written.
Development & Testing
Development with regular reviews of the agreed task. Affected functions are tested on staging with the agreed WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP versions. Checkout, permissions and failure cases are included where the change affects them.
Deployment & Support
Clean delivery with full documentation, installation instructions, and admin configuration guides. I provide ongoing maintenance, compatibility updates for new WooCommerce releases, and dedicated support.
Built with WooCommerce
Digital craft. Out in the world.
A costly Shopify setup and ceramics that are difficult to ship. I helped Gitte Moltke move GM Keramik to WooCommerce and make ordering for local pickup the site’s primary purpose.

From a costly Shopify setup to WooCommerce, with online orders focused on local pickup of fragile ceramics.
Which WordPress and WooCommerce versions do you support?
I target WordPress 6.4+ and WooCommerce 8.0+ for new plugins, ensuring compatibility with the latest releases. I also support the WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) system and the block-based checkout introduced in recent versions.
Can you move a Shopify store to WooCommerce with local pickup?
Yes. GM Keramik is a real project where I moved the site from Shopify to WooCommerce with a focus on orders for local pickup. For your store we establish products and data, fulfilment options, existing URLs, a test order and ongoing operation before agreeing scope and price.
Can you build plugins compatible with popular page builders?
Yes. I build WooCommerce plugins that work seamlessly with Elementor, Gutenberg blocks, and other popular page builders. I use WordPress's block editor API and standard hook patterns to ensure compatibility across different site-building approaches.
Do you publish plugins on the WordPress Plugin Directory?
I can publish on both the official WordPress Plugin Directory and distribute plugins privately through custom update servers. For directory submissions, I handle the review process, ensure coding standards compliance, and manage ongoing updates through the WordPress.org SVN repository.
How do you handle WooCommerce plugin updates and compatibility?
I test every plugin against WooCommerce beta releases before they ship, so compatibility issues are caught early. Maintenance packages include proactive updates for new WooCommerce and WordPress versions, security patches, and PHP version compatibility - keeping your plugin running smoothly without surprises.
