Build a store online for Australian shoppers.
Selling to Australians means GST in every price, delivery across a very big country and the payment methods people here use. DIGITALON builds WooCommerce stores set up for Australia from the start, from Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast, at a fixed, one-off price.
Australia changes the settings.
eCommerce software is built for sellers everywhere, so an Australian store needs its settings chosen deliberately. Prices need to show GST included, addresses need suburbs, states and postcodes, and shipping has to work from the capital cities to remote towns, where parcels cost more and take longer to arrive. Getting these right decides whether the store feels local to the people buying and whether each order still makes money.
We set every store up for Australia: prices in Australian dollars with GST handled the way your accountant advises, shipping that can be priced by state or postcode from Standard, Stripe and PayPal for Visa, Mastercard and American Express, and Afterpay with Premium. Stores on our managed hosting sit on Australian servers, and the same Australian team answers your questions in your own working hours.

Setting a store up for Australia.
These are the Australian settings we plan with you before the build. Where a decision is about tax or law, your accountant or adviser has the final say.
GST in every price
Prices are entered and shown including GST, as Australian shoppers expect, and products your accountant says are GST-free can be set up that way. PDF invoices from Standard carry your business details and the GST on each order.
Shipping zones from metro to remote
Every package includes flat-rate or free shipping; Standard prices delivery by state, postcode, weight or cart value, so a parcel to a remote town can cost more than one across town. Live Australia Post, Sendle or courier rates are a quoted add-on.
Delivery times shoppers can trust
Say how long delivery takes to each part of the country and when the last order before a public holiday or Christmas must be placed. Premium's order tracking lets customers follow the parcel instead of ringing you.
Payment methods used here
Stripe and PayPal take Visa, Mastercard and American Express in every package, and Premium adds Apple Pay, Google Pay and Afterpay. WooCommerce's bank transfer option suits customers who pay by EFT, with the order held until the money arrives.
Australian hosting and support
Our managed WordPress hosting runs on Australian servers, closer to Australian shoppers, and the team that built the store answers your questions from the Sunshine Coast. Your own host is fine too; the store is yours to move.
Policies written for Australia
Returns, refunds and privacy pages need wording that fits Australian consumer and privacy law and your business. You or your adviser supply the wording; we place it where shoppers look, beside the price and in the checkout.

Hosting, your domain, your payment provider’s transaction fees and ongoing maintenance are separate. The page counts are website pages, not a product limit: catalogue size, product imports, migrations and custom integrations are agreed and quoted before work starts. Compare every inclusion and the optional features on eCommerce pricing, or see website design packages if you do not need a shop.
Your store, your hosting, your login.
Every DIGITALON store is a custom WordPress and WooCommerce build. WooCommerce is free and open source, takes no commission on your sales and runs on hosting you choose, with the administrator login yours from day one.
The shop and the pages that bring shoppers to it live in one WordPress site, edited the same way. You can run it yourself, or hand the updates to the team that built it.
No platform commission
Your payment provider charges its transaction fee. WooCommerce itself takes no percentage of your sales and has no monthly platform fee.
Hosting you choose
Keep your own host, or use our managed WordPress hosting, sized for the catalogue and the traffic you expect.
Care after launch
Our maintenance packages cover plugin and WooCommerce updates, backups, security checks and support.
One Australian team
The people who scope, design and build the store are the people who answer your questions, from Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast.
From brief to first order.
A basic store usually takes two to three weeks. Extra features and integrations add time, and we tell you how much before we begin.
Scope and price
We agree the pages, catalogue, features and search work, then confirm the package, any extras and the payment stages in writing.
Design
You see the design and sign it off before the build starts, while changing a layout is still quick.
Build and test
Products, payments, shipping and tax are set up in WooCommerce, then tested with real orders on a phone and a desktop.
Launch and hand over
We go live and hand over your administrator login. Standard and Premium include one-to-one training on your own store.
Online stores we have built.
These are stores and online sales sites our team designed and built. They show completed work, not a promise of the same result for every business.

Selling online in Australia.
GST, shipping, payments, hosting, policies, price and timing.
Ask us about your storeWhat does it cost to build a store online for Australian customers?
A custom WooCommerce store costs $4,990 for Basic (6 pages), $5,990 for Standard (10 pages) or $7,990 for Premium (20 pages), as a one-off build price. Live carrier rates, accounting connections and other integrations are quoted before work starts.
Each package is listed in full on our eCommerce pricing page.
Do the build prices include GST, and how is GST handled in the store?
Yes, the build prices are in Australian dollars and include GST, itemised on your invoice. In the store, prices are shown including GST, GST-free products can be set up as your accountant advises, and PDF invoices from Standard show the GST on each order.
Can delivery cost more to remote areas than to the city?
Yes, with Standard. Shipping can be priced by state, postcode range, weight or cart value, so a heavy parcel to a remote town is charged closer to what it costs to send. Every package includes flat-rate or free shipping, and live Australia Post, Sendle or courier rates are a quoted add-on.
Which payment methods will Australian shoppers see?
Visa, Mastercard and American Express through Stripe, plus PayPal, in every package; Premium adds Apple Pay, Google Pay and Afterpay. WooCommerce can also take direct bank transfers, holding the order until you confirm the money has arrived. Each provider charges its own fees.
Is the store hosted in Australia?
It can be. Our managed WordPress hosting uses Australian servers, which keeps the store closer to Australian shoppers and can reduce network delay; the theme, images and plugins matter for speed too. You can also choose your own host, because the store is yours.
Who provides the wording for our returns and privacy pages?
You or your adviser, because it has to fit your business and Australian law, and we do not give legal advice. We lay the pages out, link them from the footer and checkout, and put a short delivery and returns summary beside the add-to-cart button.
Can we sell to New Zealand or overseas as well?
Yes. Shipping zones can include New Zealand or other countries with their own rates, set up with Standard's rules, and prices stay in Australian dollars unless a currency extension is quoted. Ask your accountant how GST applies to overseas sales.
Which package suits a store shipping Australia-wide?
Standard suits most: shipping priced by state, postcode, weight and cart value, PDF invoices and packing slips, customer accounts, product filters, and keyword research with on-page SEO. Premium adds a shipping cost calculator, order tracking, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Afterpay, live search and AI search optimisation (GEO). Basic suits a store with one flat rate or free shipping.
How long does it take to set the store up for Australia?
A basic store usually takes two to three weeks, with GST, shipping and payments set up and tested with real orders before launch. Live carrier rates, a large catalogue or an integration adds time, and we agree the schedule with the price.
Who supports the store after launch?
The Australian team that built it, from the Sunshine Coast, in your own working hours. You keep the administrator login and can run the store yourself, with one-to-one training in Standard and Premium, or hand updates, backups and security to our maintenance packages.
