WooCommerce or custom Laravel — which is right for my US e-commerce store?

WooCommerce is the right choice if: you have under 5,000 SKUs, a standard US checkout flow, a budget under $8,000, and a non-technical team managing day-to-day. Custom Laravel is the right choice if: you have complex business logic (B2B pricing tiers, custom subscriptions, multi-warehouse), high concurrent traffic (50,000+ monthly sessions), or need deep API integrations with ERP/accounting systems.

How do you handle US sales tax for e-commerce?

For WooCommerce stores, I integrate WooCommerce Tax (free, powered by Avalara data) which automatically calculates state and local sales tax based on the customer's address. For custom builds, I integrate TaxJar or Avalara APIs for the same automatic calculation. You receive a tax report dashboard for filing.

Can you optimize an existing underperforming e-commerce store?

Yes — e-commerce audits and optimization is a standalone service. Common quick wins include: checkout UX improvements (reducing fields, adding progress indicators, enabling guest checkout), page speed optimization for product pages (LCP targets under 2.5s), mobile checkout flow fixes, and Stripe/PayPal integration updates. Most audits identify 30–50% cart abandonment reduction opportunities.
