I customise WooCommerce stores for UK businesses: checkout and basket rules, pricing logic, payment and courier integrations, order automation and the slow-store problems that appear when a shop grows. You deal directly with the developer, and my working day covers most of yours.
If an extension almost does what you need, a small amount of well-placed custom code is usually cheaper than three more plugins.
Conditional fields, delivery-date pickers, minimum order rules, gift options, restricted products by postcode and a checkout that matches how you actually sell.
Trade and wholesale price lists, tiered and bundle discounts, customer-group pricing and VAT-exempt B2B accounts, built into WooCommerce's price calculation rather than bolted on.
Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Clearpay, Opayo, Worldpay or GoCardless configured properly, with webhooks verified and failed payments handled, plus custom gateways where no extension exists.
Custom order statuses, automatic emails, picking lists and orders pushed to Royal Mail Click & Drop, ShipStation, Xero, Sage or your warehouse system without manual exports.
Slow product pages, checkout timeouts and sale-day crashes traced to the queries, plugins or hosting causing them, then fixed and measured.
Plugin conflicts, broken updates, missing orders or emails that stopped sending, diagnosed on a staging copy first so your live shop keeps trading.
India is only 4½ to 5½ hours ahead of the UK, so a UK morning is my afternoon. Questions raised at 10am get answered the same day, calls fit inside normal office hours, and urgent fixes don't wait overnight.
Times shown in UK time (GMT) · India is 5½ hours ahead in winter and 4½ hours ahead during British Summer Time
These decide whether a UK shop runs smoothly. I raise them on the first call rather than after launch.
Prices shown inclusive of VAT, standard, reduced and zero rates set per product, VAT numbers validated for B2B customers, and invoices that show what your accountant needs.
Since Brexit, shipping zones, duties and EU VAT rules need thought. I set up WooCommerce so your rules for Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the EU match what you've agreed with your accountant, including IOSS where you use it.
Analytics and marketing tags held back until visitors consent, plus customer data exports and erasure handled through WordPress's privacy tools.
Royal Mail, DPD, Evri or Parcelforce rates and labels, surcharges for the Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland, and next-day cut-off times shown at checkout.
Public, checkable work rather than logos on a page.
Including Smart Coupon Generator for WooCommerce. All are free, maintained and reviewed by the WordPress.org plugin team.
Custom pricing engine, B2B wholesale portal with approval workflow, automated order statuses and checkout performance work, built as standalone plugins.

hub.maalabs.in ↗Simple, written and predictable, whether it's a one-day fix or a three-month build.
A short call and a look at your site, plugins and hosting so the quote reflects what's really there.
The work, edge cases, timeline and price set out in writing. Nothing starts until you've agreed it.
Changes are built and tested on a copy of your shop, with a checklist so you can test orders yourself.
Deployed at a quiet time you choose, monitored afterwards, with ongoing support available.
Largely, yes. India is 4½ to 5½ hours ahead, so most of the UK working day falls inside my working hours. Calls are booked during UK office hours. I'm based in India and don't have a UK office.
Yes. Most projects are improvements to a live shop. I work on a staging copy first, so customers never see half-finished changes.
Not if it's built correctly. I use WooCommerce's documented hooks and APIs and never edit core or plugin files, so updates don't overwrite the work.
I can build and configure whatever VAT rules you need in WooCommerce. Your accountant decides which rules apply to your business, and I make sure the shop follows them.
Any provider with a WooCommerce extension or a documented API, including Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Clearpay, Opayo, Worldpay and GoCardless. Webhooks and failed-payment handling are always part of the job.
Yes. I can work under your brand, sign your NDA and use your Git, Slack and project tools. See white-label work for details.
A link to the store and a few lines on what isn't working is enough to start. I'll reply within one working day.
I read every enquiry myself and reply within one working day with questions or a next step.
