Frequently Asked Questions

Shopify is the better choice for most UK ecommerce businesses launching new stores — it natively handles UK VAT, Shopify Payments UK, Royal Mail rates, and scales without plugin maintenance. WooCommerce is better when the business is deeply invested in WordPress CMS content and needs tight WordPress integration. For pure ecommerce, Shopify wins on reliability and UK compliance.
In Shopify: enable Shopify Tax UK, apply 20% standard, 0% zero-rated to applicable products (food, books, children's clothing), and 5% reduced where applicable. In WooCommerce: configure WooCommerce Tax with three-tier UK rates applied by shipping address. Tested with real orders before launch.
A Shopify premium theme customisation costs £2,000–£5,000. A custom Shopify 2.0 theme build costs £6,000–£20,000. A WooCommerce store with UK VAT and Royal Mail costs £5,000–£18,000. A headless Shopify/Next.js build starts from £18,000.
