Our WooCommerce Solutions

Why Moonlit Builds Better WooCommerce

We eliminate the bloated plugins and fragile visual builders that make other WooCommerce sites slow and vulnerable to crashes.

Lean Custom Child Themes

We build lightweight, bespoke WooCommerce child themes coded from scratch. Zero Elementor/Divi bloat, resulting in clean semantic HTML and rapid page loads.

Sub-Second Speed Engineering

We deploy Redis object caching, Cloudflare edge caching, and optimized database query indexes so product catalogs with thousands of items load in under 1 second.

Hardened Security & Backups

Automated daily offsite cloud backups, 2FA for administrators, XML-RPC disabling, and Web Application Firewalls ensure your store is completely protected.

Accounting & ERP Sync

Automatic two-way sync with Xero, Sage One, and QuickBooks. Invoices, tax receipts, inventory quantities, and customer data update instantly.

Live Courier Rates & Waybills

Automate fulfillment with The Courier Guy, Bob Go, Courier IT, and Pargo. Generate waybills and tracking links in one click from your WordPress dashboard.

Affiliate Distribution Engine

Plug into Moonlit's Partition 2 managed affiliate network. Recruit hundreds of local commission agents to drive sales to your store with automated tracking.

Cost Advantage

Escape the Dollar Traps of Closed SaaS Platforms

Running a store on Shopify or BigCommerce means paying subscriptions in US Dollars. With currency fluctuations, a monthly SaaS bill plus 15 essential third-party apps can easily cost R3,000 to R8,000 every single month before you've made a single sale.

With a professionally engineered WooCommerce store from Moonlit, you own everything. You pay for your local high-performance ZAR hosting (from R250/mo), and you never pay per-transaction penalties to a platform.

  • Zero Platform Revenue Cuts: Keep 100% of your gross margins.
  • Free SA Gateway Plugins: PayFast and Yoco provide free WordPress plugins.
  • 100% Data Sovereignty: Your customer lists and orders reside on your secure server.
