WordPress maintenance for online shops<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In a shop, every outage is directly measurable. We maintain WooCommerce installations with staging tests, checkout checks after every update and round-the-clock monitoring \u2013 so orders keep flowing, even at weekends.<\/p>\n\t\t

Why shops need more maintenance than websites<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A shop does not consist of WordPress alone, but of WooCommerce, payment and shipping interfaces, tax logic and often an ERP integration. Any update can break one of these connections \u2013 and a broken checkout does not announce itself. That is why shops are not just updated but tested after every update.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Checkout tests<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

After every update we check the cart, checkout and payment with a test order \u2013 not just whether the page loads.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Staging instead of live operation<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Critical updates run on a copy first. Only what passes there without errors goes live.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Maintenance windows<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Updates are applied during low-revenue periods, and on request aligned with your sales figures.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Payment interfaces<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

PayPal, Klarna, Stripe or purchase on invoice: we check that callbacks and order statuses arrive correctly.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Security & customer data<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Firewall, login protection, malware scans and country blocking protect order and customer data in the shop backend.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Performance<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Load time has a direct effect on conversion. Caching, image optimisation and CDN are configured separately for shop pages.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Backups with order data<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Daily external backups including the database \u2013 so no orders are lost if a restore is needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

24\/7 monitoring<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Uptime and checkout monitoring report disruptions automatically, including at night and on public holidays.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Industry knowledge<\/p>

What do online shops need to consider in website maintenance?<\/h2>

For online shops, every hour of downtime counts directly as lost revenue. After updates, the cart, payment methods and order emails must therefore be checked. Since 28 June 2025, the Barrierefreiheitsst\u00e4rkungsgesetz (BFSG, the German Accessibility Strengthening Act) also applies to many shops that target consumers. Only micro-enterprises with fewer than ten employees and annual turnover of no more than two million euros are exempt.<\/p>
