Today, multichannel selling can help you reach vast numbers of new customers. However, managing those customers across multiple sales channels — like your online store, in-person, on social platforms and online marketplaces — can quickly become challenging without an integrated ecommerce solution that helps bring everything together seamlessly.
It’s why we are launching our Managed WooCommerce Stores plans.
Each managed WooCommerce hosting plan is for established businesses that seek to rapidly grow by selling across multiple channels. It eliminates the need to maintain a variety of complex ecommerce applications or cycle through add-on features for desired functionality.
It’s powered by ecommerce software that combines WordPress flexibility with an intuitive user experience on a highly performant, fully managed platform. With multiple plan tiers and hundreds of additional features included and ready for activation, Managed WooCommerce Stores is built to scale with growing businesses.

What problems can our Managed WooCommerce Stores plans solve?
We took a close look at common pain points that businesses face when running a multichannel business, and then guided development to create a better experience:
- One stop shop — Rather than cobbling together multiple applications to support evolving business needs, each Managed WooCommerce Stores plan includes all the right tools as part of an integrated platform. Multiple plan tiers and numerous available features support continued growth.
- Multichannel selling & inventory management — A single dashboard enables selling and inventory management across multiple sales channels including your managed WooCommerce online store, in-person, online marketplaces and social platforms. Gone are the days of scrambling between multiple disconnected inventory management systems to keep inventory in sync, and instead manage everything from a single dashboard.
- Grows with your business — When new business needs arise, the right tools are just a few clicks away. Our Managed WooCommerce Stores plans include access to thousands of add-on features, including drop shipping, QuickBooks integration, email marketing and more.
- Ultimate flexibility — A large, active network of open-source developers frees you from the limitations that often come from other ecommerce platforms. Managed WooCommerce Stores plans, built on WordPress, allow a business to maintain complete ownership of their site, without being tied to a single tech provider.
- Stay focused on your business — Pros (like web developers and designers) supporting clients can focus more of their time and attention on the website build, rather than hosting management. Our managed platform is optimized for performance and security, including hardware, software versions and extensions.
