Turn Your WordPress Site Into a Store, Fast
We add e-commerce to your existing WordPress website so you can sell products, services, tickets, downloads, or memberships online. Includes up to 25 product SKUs, checkout, cart, and payment setup.
This is e-commerce setup for WordPress. If you need a new website first, see WordPress Templated Website (link). If you need hosting, see WordPress Hosting (link). Ongoing edits are handled through Monthly WordPress Support (link).
Mad Pelican Marketing can also build out Shopify Sites if you are interested. Please contact us for a Shopify quote.
What Is WordPress E-commerce Setup? Hint: Online Store
Sell Products and Services Online Quickly
This service adds a full e-commerce layer to your WordPress website so customers can browse products, add to cart, and check out securely.
This is ideal for small businesses that want a clean online store without a long build or custom development.
Who This Is For?
This is for small to medium-sized businesses that want to sell online and keep it simple.
Great fit if you:
- want to add a store to an existing WordPress site,
- have a limited product catalog to start,
- need a clean checkout experience,
- want to accept payments online without reinventing your website.

What’s Included in my Online Store
What You Get
3 new store pages added to your site
- Product page, with up to 25 product SKUs
- Cart page
- Checkout page
Shipping setup
- Flat-rate shipping integration
Payment processing setup
- Stripe, PayPal, or Square
- If you need a different gateway, we can usually connect it, but it may require an extension and additional integration cost
What You Can Sell Online
We can set up simple products and also support more advanced product types when needed, including:
- products with size and color variations,
- digital or downloadable products,
- tickets,
- memberships.
Note: Variations can count as separate SKUs depending on how you want to track inventory. Example: one shirt in 3 colors may be 3 SKUs if you want inventory per color.
How it Works
What to Expect
1) You fill out the product sheet: You provide the details for each product SKU, including short description, long description, image, product price, and shipping price (if applicable).
2) You share files in one folder: You upload product images and any supporting files to Google Drive, Dropbox, or a similar service, then share access.
3) We build your store pages and configure payments: We add the product, cart, and checkout pages, configure flat-rate shipping, and connect your payment processor.
4) You review and we launch: We confirm everything works end-to-end and your store is ready to sell.
When You Need More Than the Basics
More than 25 product SKUs
If you need more products, we can add additional SKUs with a separate add-on.
Custom store functionality
If you need quote requests, dynamic pricing, special shipping rules, custom checkout fields, or advanced inventory workflows, that typically requires paid extensions and an integration fee.
Taxes
We can set up tax rates for the USA and Canada.
Catalog mode
If you want your store to display products without accepting payments, we can disable payment and shipping functionality, but it requires extra backend work.
CRM, email marketing, and accounting integrations
We can integrate many systems depending on compatibility and plugin availability. Some integrations require credentials, API keys, and sometimes third-party accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions - E-Commerce Sites
Do I need to provide information for each product?
Yes. We need descriptions, image, pricing, and shipping details per SKU.
Can you connect a payment gateway other than Stripe, PayPal, or Square?
Often yes, but it may require a premium extension and additional integration cost.
Can Mad Pelican do Shopify sites?
Yes, hit us up if you'd like a Shopify store instead of a WordPress intergration.
Do product variations count as only one product?
It depends. If you want separate inventory tracking per variation, each variation is usually a separate SKU.
Can you set up products that are not simple products?
Yes, including variations, digital downloads, tickets, and memberships.
What won't you guys build?
We will not do any sites or online stores that you can't show your grandma.
