The upkeep adds up
WordPress powers a large part of the web, and WooCommerce turns it into a store. Both are open source, which brings real freedom. It also means someone chooses the hosting and keeps WordPress, the theme and each plugin up to date, for every client.
For an agency with many clients, that someone is usually you. Updates have to be tested, servers watched and backups checked, and the time is hard to bill for. Many agencies would rather spend it building.
What you hand over to the platform
No longer your job
- Server setup and hosting for each store.
- Core and plugin updates per client.
- Uptime and platform security.
- Wiring a payment provider and an invoice tool together.
Still yours
- The design and build you charge for.
- The client relationship, with full rights on their store.
- Your ongoing care fee, if you charge one.
- A share of every plan your client pays for.
Built in, not bolted on
The features a WooCommerce store usually adds through plugins are part of Aeonzap. There is nothing to find, install and keep compatible.
- Online payments and cash on delivery, on the client's own account.
- Invoices, refunds and credit notes, with GST invoices for India.
- Discounts, abandoned cart recovery, reviews and wishlists.
- SEO tools and structured data, a blog, forms and media.
- A WhatsApp inbox your team and your client can both answer from.
On top of that, 41 plugins can be switched on from the store dashboard when a client needs more.
For developers who want control
If you build custom front ends today, you can keep doing that. Engine, the Aeonzap headless option, lets you write your own front end while products, carts, checkout and payments run on Aeonzap. You get the freedom of your own code without running the store backend yourself.
Moving a client across
Start with a new client, or move one who is tired of maintenance. Products come across from a WooCommerce export through the store importer. Their domain can be connected to the new store, and you can buy any other hosting or domains they need from your dashboard. Read how you manage client stores once they are live.
Questions agencies ask
Is Aeonzap a good WooCommerce alternative for agencies?
If much of your time goes on updates, hosting and plugin conflicts, it can be. Aeonzap is hosted and kept up for you, payments and invoices are built in, and you manage every client store from one agency dashboard.
Can I import products from WooCommerce?
Yes. The store importer reads a WooCommerce product export, so a client’s catalogue can come across without retyping it.
Do I still need separate hosting for an Aeonzap store?
No. Every Aeonzap store is hosted on the platform. If a client also needs hosting for something else, you can buy it from your agency dashboard.
I am a developer. Will I lose control?
Not if you need it. Engine, the Aeonzap headless option, lets you build your own front end while the store, checkout and payments run on Aeonzap.
Who keeps the platform secure and updated?
We do. Updates, uptime and security of the platform are ours, so there is no plugin or core update for you to schedule for each client.
