Introduction

A production-grade headless storefront for WooCommerce — a Next.js 16 app and a WordPress Companion plugin that work as one.

The weLabs storefront gives a WooCommerce business a modern, fast, multilingual shop front without asking the team behind it to leave WordPress. Shoppers get a polished Next.js experience with on-page checkout and one-tap wallets. Store Owners keep managing products, orders and payments in WooCommerce — and use the Companion plugin to control everything the storefront shows.

The storefront

A Next.js 16 / React 19 app that renders every page shoppers see: catalogue, product pages, cart, checkout, accounts, journal and policies. It deploys to Cloudflare Workers or any Node host and can run with no backend at all in Demo Mode.

The Companion plugin

A WordPress plugin installed next to WooCommerce. It adds the StoreFront menu in wp-admin, secure storefront sign-in, the REST routes the storefront reads, and payment hardening for Stripe and PayPal.

  • Your team keeps WordPress. Colours, menus, home-page campaigns, product-page sections, trust badges, policy pages, FAQ, analytics scripts and SEO are edited in wp-admin and reach the storefront without a redeploy.
  • Payments happen on your storefront. Card payments, 3-D Secure, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay all run on the storefront checkout — shoppers are never bounced to a WordPress page.
  • It only shows what your store can do. Every backend feature is a Capability. Install the PDF invoices plugin and invoices appear in order history; switch wishlists off and every heart disappears.
  • Built to be found, in every language. Canonical URLs, hreflang, sharing cards and structured data on every public page; English and Arabic ship complete with a right-to-left layout.
  • Engineered to last. A typed ports-and-adapters architecture, a contract suite every backend adapter must pass, and a Playwright smoke suite on every change.
