Keep WooCommerce.
Own the storefront.
Keep products, orders, customers, and payments in WooCommerce. Build the storefront as a real Astro project that lives in your GitHub repository, with prebuilt product pages, a real checkout, and customer accounts.
- Product pages prebuilt and served from the edge
- Keep WooCommerce as your store admin
- Own the storefront code in GitHub
- No WooCommerce API keys to copy
WooCommerce is a great backend. The theme is the slow part.
WooCommerce handles orders, stock, and payments well. The storefront that WordPress renders on top of it is usually where speed and security suffer.
Every visit renders in PHP
Product and category pages run through WordPress, the theme, and the database each time a shopper opens them.
Themes and plugins add weight
Page builders, cart fragments, and plugin scripts pile up on the pages where speed matters most.
The whole backend faces the public
Shoppers, bots, and attackers all hit the same WordPress install that runs your admin and your orders.
Keep the store. Replace the storefront.
Your team keeps working in the WooCommerce admin they know. Shoppers browse the Astro storefront instead of your WordPress theme, and the storefront talks to WordPress through PhantomWP Connect, the WordPress plugin for PhantomStudio, using a shared secret.
WooCommerce keeps
Your store admin
- Products, categories, and stock
- Orders and customers
- Taxes, shipping zones, and coupons
- Payment gateway settings
Secret-protected requests
Astro handles
What shoppers see
- Prebuilt product and category pages
- Cart, checkout, and order confirmation
- Customer login and account pages
- Design, components, and deployment
Product pages are built ahead of time and served from the edge. Checkout, orders, and accounts call your live WooCommerce store, which validates stock again when each order is created.
The WooCommerce Store template
A complete storefront, not a starter page
The template generates every page a store needs as ordinary Astro files. Restyle them, rewrite them, or ask AI to change them.
Shop
//shop/shop/product/[slug]/shop/category/[slug]/search
Checkout
/cart/checkout/order-complete
Accounts
/login/register/forgot-password/account/orders/account/addresses
See every page, component, and API route in the store features docs.

From WooCommerce store to live storefront
Keep your current store online while you build. Switch traffic only when the new storefront is ready.
Connect your store
Connect your WordPress site. PhantomWP Connect installs and pairs itself, so there are no API keys or wp-config edits.
Create a WooCommerce project
Pick the WooCommerce Store template. You get the shop, cart, checkout, and account pages in a new GitHub repo.
Sync and customize
Sync products and images, then shape the storefront visually, with AI, or directly in code.
Deploy
Deploy to Vercel or Cloudflare with the built-in workflow while your current store keeps running.
WooCommerce today. More commerce backends tomorrow.
PlannedYour storefront is an independent Astro project. Shopify, SureCart, and FluentCart integrations are on the roadmap, so a future backend change doesn't automatically mean throwing away your frontend.
You don't have to rebuild the store to rebuild the storefront.
Keep the WooCommerce catalog, customer data, orders, and familiar WordPress admin while you replace the customer-facing frontend. Headless WooCommerce is included with PhantomStudio lifetime access.
