Everything behind the sale, sorted
From the moment a product goes live to the moment an order ships, WooCommerce gives you one dashboard for it all, no separate tools to stitch together.
Product management
Everything a catalogue needs, already installed.-
Shoppers find things fast
Sort by price, popularity or rating out of the box. Organise products into categories and tags, and add filters when your catalogue grows. -
Stock levels you can trust
Real-time tracking, low-stock alerts and backorder rules. You'll know you're running out before a customer does. -
Update multiple products without losing the afternoon
Bulk edit prices and stock, optimize images, fill SEO fields in place. Blank on a description? The AI assistant writes it.
Order management
From "cha-ching" to "delivered," without leaving one screen.-
One dashboard, the whole order history
Statuses, invoices, refunds and everything a customer has ever bought, in one place instead of three tools. -
The follow-up emails send themselves
Order confirmation, payment received and shipped notifications go out automatically, in the right language. -
Refunds without the back-and-forth
Refund a full order or part of one from the order screen, straight through your payment processor.
Payment, your way
You open the merchant account, in your name, and the payouts land in your bank account. WHC never touches the money.-
Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit
Visa, Mastercard and Amex via Stripe extension. -
Digital wallets
Apple Pay and Google Pay, enabled alongside Stripe. -
PayPal
A familiar checkout for clients who have a PayPal account.
Not sure which to pick? How to choose a payment processor for a Canadian store.
Shipping, your way
Set flat rates, free shipping over a threshold, or local pickup, all from your dashboard. Rates and rules are yours to set.-
Flat rate
One price per order or per item, by region. -
Free shipping
Trigger it above a cart total, or with a coupon. -
Local pickup
For customers who’d rather come to you.
Want live carrier rates at checkout? How shipping works in WooCommerce.
A store that breaks doesn't sell.
So we keep yours running.
WooCommerce is powerful, and it's a lot to babysit: plugin updates, cart-killing slowdowns, seasonal traffic spikes. Our team takes that off your plate.
Automatic core updates
We apply minor WordPress core releases for you, including security patches. Major upgrades only go live once you approve them.Checkout kept fast
Mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay load instantly. No stalls at the last step, so fewer shoppers drop off.Always-on security
Firewall, malware scanning and free SSL. Hacked-site cleanup is included, not an upsell, and the setup is PCI-friendly by design.Backups you can trust
Daily off-site backups with 1-click restore. Made a mistake mid-sale? Roll the whole store back to yesterday in seconds.
Canadian datacenters
Your store and your order records live in Canada
The site, the database, the customer records and the backups are hosted end to end in Canadian datacenters under Canadian ownership, so they answer to PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, not to foreign law. Card data is handled by the processor you choose, under their terms.
- 100% Canadian datacenters
- PIPEDA and Law 25 aligned
- SOC 2 certified
- Redundant power & network
- Green energy powered
- Daily backups & restore
Sell in French and English
One store, two languages. Ask for a bilingual store during setup and we install and enable the necessary tools for you. You add your translations from there, and your storefront switches languages without running two sites.
-
One catalog, two languages
Product titles, descriptions and categories translated without duplicating the store or the inventory. -
Checkout and emails follow suit
Order confirmations, shipping notices and invoices go out in the language the customer bought in. -
The AI assistant writes both
Ask for a product description or a shipping policy and get it in French and English, written for each rather than run through a translator.
An AI that builds your store, then runs it with you
-
Launch the storefront in an afternoon
Describe your business. AI generates the pages, layouts and styles, WooCommerce shop, cart and checkout included. -
Fill the catalogue without staring at a blank page
Product descriptions, category copy, SEO titles and page content, written and rewritten in English or French. -
Get answers while you run the store
Ask in plain language about shipping rules, coupons, taxes or a setting you can't find, and it walks you to the right screen.

If you’re looking for reliable hosting with excellent support and performance that truly makes a difference, WHC is the perfect choice.

Great agent who solved my issue quickly - that's what sets WHC apart. It's 9:41 on a Sunday night and I can get great service!
Frequently Asked Questions
Shopify and Wix rent you a store on their platform. With WHC, the store is yours: WordPress and WooCommerce are open-source software running on your hosting account. You keep your data and you're not paying a percentage of every sale. We set up WordPress, WooCommerce and your store pages, and our guide takes you the rest of the way.
WHC takes nothing from your sales. Your payment processor charges its own rate, Stripe and PayPal are typically around 2.9% plus a fixed fee per transaction, set by them, not by us.
Yes. Your site runs on WordPress and WooCommerce, both open source, on hosting in your name. Products, orders and customer records live in your database.
Four things on your side: what you're selling with names, prices and a photo each; how you'll ship or deliver; the sales tax that applies where you sell; and a payment processor account with a business bank account for payouts. Everything else like your domain, WordPress, WooCommerce, SSL is handled by the plan.
Yes. WooCommerce is installed and ready when your site is created, along with your store pages. There's nothing to buy or install separately.
Stripe and PayPal are the two we'd suggest starting with. Stripe's WooCommerce extension is free, takes cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay on your own checkout, and pays out in Canadian dollars. PayPal works out of the box and can run alongside Stripe. WooCommerce supports many other gateways if you already use one.
Usually, yes, GST/HST and provincial rates depending on where you're registered and where your customers are. WooCommerce has tax settings built in and our guide covers configuring them for Canada.
In WooCommerce you set shipping zones which is where you deliver, and a rate for each: flat rate, free shipping, or calculated. Local pickup is an option too. If you sell digital products or services, you can skip shipping entirely.
Yes. WordPress and WooCommerce both support bilingual stores, and our own support is bilingual, 24/7.
On Canadian servers. Your site and your customers' data stay in Canada.
Yes. If you're on WooCommerce elsewhere, our team can handle the migration, get in touch and we'll walk you through what's involved.
