B2C or B2B online store for businesses
We implement stores for both single products and thousands of products for B2C or B2B target groups according to your needs. Whatever your situation, WordPress Woocommerce is an e-commerce platform that provides a straightforward way to get started with e-commerce. With Steam, the structure of the store is designed to consist of modules that can be used flexibly on any page of the web service. For example, a desired product listing can be included in a popular blog article. The flexible platform enables smooth further development of the online store according to your business needs in the future as well.

Why is WordPress WooCommerce a good choice?
WooCommerce is widely recognized for its versatility. It allows the sale of various products, such as physical goods, services, and even cabin reservations. The platform itself already offers many essential features, but its expandability with various add-ons provides additional possibilities for customizing the store. WooCommerce can also integrate different shipping and payment methods. If needed, multilingual versions can also be implemented with WooCommerce.

Further Development of the Online Store

When you need fresh ideas for effective solutions or a change in the shopping experience of your current online store, developing in small steps is the path to better results. From Höyry, you get concrete suggestions for areas of improvement in your online service.
Development of the Website
WooCommerce integration with external systems
All the online stores we implement can be integrated with new or existing applications, such as delivery, inventory, customer information, or cash register systems. This often means importing product or customer data from another system or transmitting information from the online store for accounting purposes. With integrations, your online store’s data moves automatically between systems, saving time and effort from manual work. We can also transfer product information from an old online service to a new one. The implementation method of integrations is designed on a customer-specific basis and is discussed together in a kick-off meeting. WooCommerce and WordPress offer versatile interfaces that allow data to be transferred flexibly and securely.
A variety of payment methods at your disposal
WooCommerce online store itself does not include payment processing services that allow, for example, online banking or credit card payments. We can enable any of the typically used payment systems that you want in your online store. These include, for example, Paytrail and Klarna, which offer widely used modern payment methods in online stores.
Höyry is an official expert partner of Paytrail
We are a reseller and official partner of the Paytrail payment service. Paytrail is the largest domestic online payment service by payment volume, offering a variety of payment options to satisfy every online store customer. The online payment service operates seamlessly in online stores selling both products and services.

Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress WooCommerce online store
-
What is WordPress WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is a free e-commerce plugin for the WordPress publishing system that allows you to set up your own online store and sell products and services. WooCommerce is designed to integrate seamlessly with WordPress and is currently the world’s most popular e-commerce solution. With WooCommerce, you can sell both physical products and digital services and products. The system also allows for product variations. Using WooCommerce is license-free, and product and customer data always reside only on your own server.
-
What are the Benefits of Using WooCommerce?
WooCommerce as an e-commerce platform is license-free and does not include monthly or annual fees. One of WooCommerce’s biggest advantages is its customizability – because it is open-source, it is possible to develop the platform further and create business-specific solutions. This can mean, for example, an online store specializing in corporate sales. Thanks to the broad selection of plugins built for WooCommerce, almost endless ready-made additional features are available for your online store. Thus, WooCommerce can be tailored into your own unique online store.
-
What Do I Need to Use a WooCommerce Online Store?
WooCommerce can be implemented on almost any WordPress website. If you don’t have a website, you will need a domain name, hosting server, SSL certificate, and WordPress installation for the setup. In addition, you’ll need an agreement with an online payment service, like Paytrail, which enables the store’s bank and credit card payment methods.
For modifying the store’s appearance and functionality, you need a suitable base theme or professional assistance for design and development work. The online stores we build always include a set of ready-made basic functionalities that accelerate your online store’s development with tested and proven solutions.

WordPress Online Store Price: How Much Does it Cost?
The cost of a custom WordPress online store varies depending on the needs and scope. If you need a basic store for selling products, costs start at around 5000 euros. This includes basic functionalities, where we incorporate your company logo, colors, and the necessary information for sales. If you need a fully customized online store for your business, for example, for service sales, the price increases to around 10,000 euros. This becomes clear when you request a quote.
-
What is the Difference Between B2C and B2B Online Stores?
B2C (business to customers) is an online store intended for consumers, and B2B (business to business) online stores focus on serving business customers. Business customers’ needs and requirements often differ from consumer retail. While consumer retail often focuses on product sales, in the business sector it may involve ongoing orders, customer-specific pricing, or tailored offers. In the business sector, the only payment method used might be invoicing, and access to the store may be desired to be restricted behind login. From a technical perspective, both can be implemented easily and flexibly with WooCommerce.
-
How Long Does the Implementation of an Online Store Take?
For the implementation of a more extensive online store, it’s good to allocate about 3-5 months. The first month is spent on the technical specification and user experience design of the online store. This ensures that the online store meets your business needs before a single line of code is written. The next couple of months are reserved for active development, transferring product information, and testing the store. If you already have a previous online store, we can automatically transfer product information to the new online store. Integrations and other extensive online store connections will extend the project duration, and often a precise technical specification before the project starts is worthwhile.
-
What Kind of WooCommerce Online Stores Have You Implemented?

Phases of Online Store Implementation
We have implemented online stores for various industries and companies of different sizes for years. At Höyry, you’ll find experienced designers, coders, and WordPress experts who will assist in the implementation of your store throughout the entire process. At Höyry, we aim to help our clients achieve measurable results through our e-commerce implementations.
Step 1
Needs assessment and technical specification
We always start the project with a kickoff meeting, where we go through the necessary background information, your company’s business, and the wishes and goals for the project. If an external system is used, a technical specification is also necessary. After the kickoff meeting, it is the client’s responsibility to gather product information for the products to be sold. At the end of the meeting, we confirm the project schedule and agree on the next meetings.
Step 2
Structure design and review of drafts
The design of the online store begins with the planning of the sitemap and wireframes. The sitemap defines the desired number of pages and the most important functionalities. With the functional wireframe of the online store, the user experience of the store can be tested at an early stage, and desired changes can be made quickly. After this, the visual style of the page templates is designed based on the brand identity created by Höyry or your company’s existing identity.
Step 3
Technical implementation
The technical implementation of the store is based on the Höyry online store solution. The solution includes Höyry’s modular WordPress and WooCommerce base theme as well as the most important e-commerce functionalities, which form the foundation for developing the store. The technical features are coded to match the functionalities designed for your company.
Phase 4
Integrations
Online stores often include integrations with third-party systems. This can mean an existing or newly implemented inventory management, product information, or customer information system. As an option, we can also transfer product data from an old online service. The method of implementing integrations is done according to the technical specifications.
Phase 5
Testing and launch
When the online store is ready and the product content is in place, we conduct comprehensive testing on the site and begin the publishing process. After publication, both the client and the developer review the site and ensure its functionality. After this, the site moves to maintenance and can be further developed according to preferences. Höyry’s experts assist with the use of the online store and are involved in implementing new features.
