We specialise in building e-commerce websites with WooCommerce, the world’s most flexible and scalable online store platform. Every store we create is customised around your products, services, and sales goals—whether you’re selling ten products or ten thousand. With an intuitive dashboard, you’ll have full control over your catalogue, pricing, stock levels, and orders.

A smooth and secure checkout experience is critical for sales. We integrate trusted payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal, POLi, Afterpay connected to any bank merchant facilities (BNZ, ANZ, Westpac, ASB). Your customers can pay the way they prefer—while you enjoy fast deposits and detailed reporting.

Shipping can make or break your online store. We configure smart shipping rules that suit your business model, including flat rate, free shipping, local delivery or Click & Collect. Whether you deliver across New Zealand or worldwide, your customers will always know exactly what to expect at checkout.

E-commerce success isn’t just about a great-looking store—it’s about being found. We optimise your online shop with SEO best practices, from keyword-rich product pages to category structures, site speed improvements, and Google Shopping feed integration. This ensures your products appear where your customers are searching.

A successful store doesn’t stop at “add to cart.” We implement conversion-focused features such as cart recovery emails, one-page checkouts, upsells and cross-sells, reviews, and streamlined payment processes. The result? Fewer abandoned carts, higher average order values, and a stronger return on investment.

WooCommerce is the world’s most popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress, powering over 40% of all online stores globally. It allows you to sell products, services, or even create subscriptions through a highly flexible platform that integrates seamlessly with your website. For NZ businesses, WooCommerce is a cost-effective way to launch and scale an online shop without being locked into expensive proprietary systems.

Yes, absolutely. WooCommerce has a user-friendly dashboard where you can easily add new products, update pricing, upload images, and manage stock levels. You can also track sales, view customer details, and process refunds directly within the system. This makes it simple for business owners to stay in control of their online shop without needing ongoing developer help for day-to-day tasks.

Definitely. WooCommerce gives you full control over how you deliver products. You can set up flat-rate or free shipping, offer local delivery or “click & collect,” and even integrate with NZ couriers like NZ Post, CourierPost, or Aramex for real-time shipping rates. This flexibility means your store can adapt to local, national, or international customers with ease.

Yes, WooCommerce is highly scalable. You can start small with just a handful of products and expand to thousands as your business grows. There are also thousands of extensions and integrations available, from marketing tools to accounting software, which means your store can evolve as your needs change. Whether you’re just starting or ready to scale, WooCommerce is built to support long-term growth.

Stripe is a leading online payment gateway that allows you to accept secure payments directly through your website. It supports all major debit and credit cards, along with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other digital wallets—giving your customers the flexibility to pay how they prefer. Stripe deposits funds straight into your NZ business bank account, usually within a few days. It’s fast, reliable, and built to handle transactions for both local and international customers, making it ideal for businesses that want to scale.

Stripe is designed for online payments only, so it doesn’t handle cash deposits or work as an in-person EFTPOS terminal. It also doesn’t provide business loans or credit facilities directly. While Stripe won’t replace your accounting or point-of-sale system, it integrates seamlessly with tools like Xero, QuickBooks, and WooCommerce, so you can keep your financial reporting streamlined.

Getting started with Stripe is quick and straightforward. You’ll need a registered New Zealand business, a local bank account, and your business details (such as your IRD number and company registration). Most applications are approved within minutes, and once your account is active, you can begin taking payments almost immediately. Sky Media can guide you through the process to make sure everything is set up correctly.

We take care of the technical setup so your checkout runs smoothly. This includes:

• Enabling Stripe payments on your WooCommerce checkout page
• Configuring multiple payment options (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.)
• Setting up shipping zones and delivery rules that match your business model
• Securing your checkout with SSL, anti-fraud tools, and best-practice compliance settings

This ensures your customers have a seamless, secure shopping experience—and you can focus on growing your store instead of worrying about technical details.
