WooCommerce development in Heraklion
Food production businesses in Heraklion tend to arrive at WooCommerce with a specific need rather than a preference, and this is usually it: settlement back to each member based on what their contribution actually sold. Everything else in the build is ordinary; that part is not.

Settlement back to each member based on what their contribution actually sold
What the requirement above actually determines is the server.
A store doing something specific at the checkout is doing it on every order, uncached, and that load is what the hosting has to be sized against rather than the monthly page total. Most of the Heraklion work we are asked about comes from food producers pooling supply under one brand, frequently based around Port of Heraklion. What those businesses have in common is that the requirement above is not optional for them, whatever else changes about the build. What decides whether this store is still working in three years is whether somebody owns it. Updates applied on a schedule, backups tested by restoring one, and a named person who is called when the checkout stops — none of which happens by default. What makes this worth the maintenance is the requirement itself. settlement back to each member based on what their contribution actually sold cannot be configured away on a hosted platform, and a Heraklion business taking on a server for any lesser reason has bought a responsibility that it did not actually need to own.
We have no office in Heraklion. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

WooCommerce development questions from Heraklion
Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.
What happens if we stop working with you?
Nothing breaks. The code is yours, the hosting is in your name, the integrations are documented, and another developer can read what is there. Building something only we could maintain would make us harder to replace, which is not an arrangement worth having on either side. None of that changes because you happen to be in Heraklion.
How do updates get tested?
On a copy first, never on the live store. Changes go to staging, get looked at by somebody who did not write them, and are released at a time when a Heraklion business is not taking its busiest orders. That sequence is dull and it is why nothing goes wrong on a Friday afternoon.
Why WooCommerce rather than Shopify?
Control, and the specific requirement described above. If a business needs something a hosted platform will not do, self-hosting is the honest answer; if it does not, WooCommerce is more responsibility for no benefit. We have talked Heraklion clients out of it more than once.
