Where do I find WooCommerce clients?

2,442 WooCommerce stores launch every day, each one self hosted and each one needing work a hosted platform would have handled.

Updated October 14, 20266 min read GuideWooCommerce

WooCommerce is the best platform in ecommerce to find agency and freelance clients on, for one structural reason: nothing is bundled. Every new store needs things that a hosted platform would simply have provided, and the owner has to source all of it.

About 2,442 launch every day, 17,095 in the last complete week.

What a new WooCommerce store needs that a hosted store does not

Hosting that can take ecommerce traffic. Security and updates, forever, because the owner now runs software rather than renting it. Backups. Caching and speed work, because WooCommerce is slow out of the box. Plugin compatibility management, which becomes a permanent chore. Payment and tax setup that nobody configured for them.

Every one of those is a recurring service, not a one off project. That is the commercial difference, and it is why a WooCommerce client is usually worth more over time than the equivalent on a hosted platform.

Why new is the moment

There is nobody to displace. A store that launched this week has no agency, no maintenance contract and often no plan for any of the above. You are the first offer rather than the challenger.

The problems are also visible and admitted. You can measure the site's speed before you contact them and open with a number. That is a far stronger approach than a generic introduction, and it is only possible because the store is self hosted.

Filtering 17,095 a week

Country first, because you have to be able to serve them. Then the stack. A store on budget shared hosting with an unoptimised theme is a different pitch from one on managed hosting that already looks after itself. The stack tells you whether anyone has been hired yet, which is the single most useful thing to know before writing.

Where do I find WooCommerce clients?

Among stores that just launched, before anyone has been hired. FisherLeads lists around 2,442 new WooCommerce stores a day.

Why are WooCommerce stores good agency clients?

Nothing is bundled. Hosting, security, updates, backups, caching and compatibility are all the owner's problem, and all of them are recurring services.

How do I open a conversation with a new WooCommerce store?

Measure something observable, like page speed, and open with the number. Self hosted stores expose this before you ever contact them.
