Plugins and integrations
Custom plugins and integrations, built properly
When your platform nearly does what you need but not quite, you don't need a new platform. You need the missing piece building. Custom WordPress plugins, WooCommerce development, and integrations with Shopify, Stripe and whatever else you're running.
The missing piece
Nearly does what you need.
Your platform does ninety percent of the job. The last ten percent is the bit your business actually runs on, and no setting turns it on. Keep scrolling.
You do not need a new platform. You need the missing piece building.
Integrations
If you already use it, we can probably plug into it
Already got systems you're happy with? Keep them. The job is normally joining them up, not replacing them, and if it has an API we can usually connect it.
“There must be a plugin for this”
There usually is. There are also usually forty of them, three are abandoned, two conflict with your theme, one wants £200 a year for a feature you'd use once a month, and none of them do the specific thing your business actually does.
So you either compromise on how you work, or you stack six plugins on top of each other until the site slows to a crawl and nobody can work out which one broke the checkout.
The alternative is one properly built piece of code that does exactly your thing and nothing else. Lighter, faster, no subscription, and it doesn't break every time something updates.
What we build
Custom WordPress plugins
Purpose built functionality for your site. No bloat, no upsells, no annual licence for something you already paid to have built.
WooCommerce development
Custom product types, pricing rules, checkout logic, shipping rules, order workflows, stock handling. The things WooCommerce nearly does.
Payment gateway work
Stripe, Worldpay, multi gateway setups, Apple Pay and Google Pay, instalment and payment plan options. Getting payments working the way your customers actually want to pay.
Shopify integrations
Connecting Shopify to the rest of your systems, custom apps, and getting data flowing both ways.
System integrations
Website to CRM. Store to accounts. Bookings to calendar. Anything with an API, joined up so nobody has to copy and paste it.
Fixing what's already there
Inherited a plugin nobody can maintain? A site held together by conflicting extensions? We can untangle it.
Proof: Regal Stamps
Regal Stamps sell specialist collectable stamps online. Their catalogue and the way they trade don't fit how a standard WooCommerce store expects to work.
We built them a custom QR and cost price plugin, handling requirements no off the shelf extension covers. We then rebuilt their checkout around more than one payment route, so customers get the express payment options they expect on smaller orders while larger orders go through the right gateway. Rules applied automatically, nothing for the customer to think about.

Multi system integrations, payment gateway rebuilds, complex commerce logic.

Far less than a stack of third party plugins will. We build to WordPress standards and against current APIs, and if you're on a support plan we handle compatibility as part of it.
Sometimes not, and when that's true we'll tell you to buy the plugin. Custom wins when nothing off the shelf does your specific thing, or when you'd need three premium plugins and a workaround to get there.
Yes. It's yours, no licence, no annual fee, no phoning home.
Yes, we do it regularly.
Yes. Plenty of what we do is a couple of hours' work to fix something specific.
Shopify's more locked down than WordPress, so the approach differs, but the principle's the same. Custom apps and integrations rather than fighting the platform.
