Frequently Asked Questions

Why WooCommerce for FFL websites?

First, it’s open source, which means you OWN your website. If you kick Coriolis to the curb you can take your website with you. WooCommerce powers roughly 28% of all online stores worldwide. It’s the leading e-commerce platform, with over 5.3 million active online stores using it. In terms of market share, among all online stores, WooCommerce holds a 28.19% share according to BuiltWith.

It is harder to use than template-based, turnkey solutions? (it's not)

It’s more powerful, but when configured properly for basic ecommerce and managed professionally (that’s what we do), it’s actually very easy to use, and insanely reliable. Did we mention that because it’s open source, you OWN your website? It is your digital asset that you can invest in over time with no vendor lock in and no contract. That means you’ve got forever to become a WooCommerce master.

Can I cancel if I don't like it?

Yes. You can cancel at any time. We’ll even help you move your website to another hosting provider or send it to you in a zip file.

What about the hard stuff like server updates, patches, security, performance, and availability?

Handled. We’ve partnered with WP Engine to develop our own custom hosting solution. Your WooCommerce website is hosted on a private, dedicated Coriolis server optimized for running WooCommerce at scale. We are using a performance optimized version of WooCommerce, with advanced features like AI-assisted search, running only the specific add-ons we approve, with automatic PhP, Wordpress, WooCommerce, and plugin updates enabled. We offer a 99.9% uptime SLA with 24×7 monitoring and emergency response by US-based, American Coriolis employees.

Can I use the gateway I got from Laura at PayRoc?

Yes, because it’s Laura from PayRoc and if we didn’t work with her she’d send Baba Yaga after us.

Is my data in it's own database?

Yes. And your website is running it’s own dedicated Wordpress and WooCommerce code. The only thing your website shares with other Coriolis clients is our private, isolated, secured hosting environment which is powered by WP Engine, a global leader in enterprise Wordpress solutions.
