Crosslist from Trendyol to WooCommerce — Open Your Own WordPress Store
A WooCommerce store on your own WordPress site takes no commission and keeps the customer. It also opens with no buyers at all. Here is the trade, with the real costs.
- What you gain: a shop you own. WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress site, so no commission comes off the sale and nobody can change your terms.
- What you lose: the buyers. Trendyol puts you in front of an audience. A WordPress store has none until you build one.
- Free is the wrong word. The WooCommerce plugin costs nothing. Hosting, extensions and your own time do.
- Sale sync runs one way. FLUF sees a WooCommerce order and ends the Trendyol listing. A Trendyol sale goes unnoticed, so you mark it sold and adjust your store stock yourself.
- Cost: 7 days for £1, then from £9/month. Starter covers this pair.
What a WooCommerce store actually is
WooCommerce is the shop software that turns a WordPress site into a store. WordPress runs the pages, the content and the admin; WooCommerce adds products, a basket, a checkout and orders. The two are inseparable, which is why setting one up starts with a WordPress site rather than a sign-up form.
It is the most widely installed option of its kind. One count of live stores in May 2026 put WooCommerce at 4.3 million active stores, about a third of all online shops. Among the highest-traffic sites on the web its share is lower, at 18.2%, which tells you something useful: WooCommerce is where enormous numbers of small and mid-sized sellers run their own shop.
Why a Trendyol seller wants one
Trendyol’s terms are Trendyol’s. Your commission depends on the category, your customer belongs to the platform, and the rules can change without you. A WordPress store inverts each of those. You keep the customer’s email address, you set the returns policy, and the only percentage anyone takes is the card processor’s.
The catch arrives immediately. Trendyol reports more than 30 million active shoppers. Your WooCommerce store opens with nobody. Store owners have to bring their own traffic, and the measured split shows how: about 51% of WooCommerce store traffic arrives from organic search, 12% from paid advertising and 3.1% from social. Search is the long game and it is the one that works.
So run the store alongside Trendyol rather than instead of it, at least for the first year. Trendyol keeps selling while your WordPress site earns its rankings.
What it costs
The WooCommerce plugin is open source and free, and WooCommerce takes no percentage of your sales. Everything else is real money.
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| WooCommerce plugin | Free |
| WordPress hosting | Around $60 a year on shared hosting, roughly $360 and up for managed WooCommerce hosting |
| Extensions | $100 to $500 a year for things like subscriptions, bookings, tax and shipping rules |
| Card processing (Stripe, UK) | 1.5% + £0.20 on UK cards, 2.5% + £0.20 on EU cards |
| Card processing (PayPal, UK) | 2.9% + £0.30 |
| Platform commission | None |
Against a Trendyol category commission in the 6% to 23% range, a 1.5% card fee looks like a rout. It is, on the sale itself. The honest version is that the difference pays for hosting, extensions and the hours you spend on traffic, and whether you come out ahead depends on how many orders the store actually takes.
Sizes and colours survive the move
Fashion stock is the reason this matters. A WooCommerce variable product holds one product page with several variations behind it, and each variation carries its own price, stock level, image and SKU. Size and colour are attributes; Small, Medium, Large and Red, Blue, Black are their values. A shirt in four sizes and three colours is one page, not twelve.
This is in the free plugin and needs no paid extension. As of WooCommerce 11.1, released on 3 September 2026, per-variation image galleries are switched on for every store, so a colourway can carry its own set of photographs rather than one shot.
What FLUF Connect does for this pair
| Trendyol | WooCommerce | |
|---|---|---|
| Crosslist listings | Yes | Yes |
| FLUF detects a sale here | No | Yes |
| FLUF ends the listing here when the item sells elsewhere | Yes | No |
| Relisting and offer management | No | No |
| FLUF browser extension | Not needed | Not needed |
When it sells in your store: FLUF records the WooCommerce order and ends the Trendyol listing.
When it sells on Trendyol: FLUF does not see the order. Mark the item sold in FLUF, then set the stock to zero in your WordPress admin so the store does not sell it twice.
That second step is the one to build a habit around. Your store is the side where an oversell costs you a refund and a bad review rather than a marketplace penalty.
How to crosslist from Trendyol to WooCommerce
- Get a WordPress site running, on hosting that meets WooCommerce’s stated requirements: PHP 8.3, WordPress 6.9 or later, and MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6.
- Install the WooCommerce plugin from Plugins, Add New in your WordPress admin, then run its setup for currency, tax and delivery.
- Add a payment method. Stripe or PayPal covers most sellers on day one.
- Connect Trendyol from the Channels screen in FLUF and sign in. Your listings come across.
- Connect WooCommerce from the same screen. Neither side needs the browser extension.
- Crosslist a small batch, check the variations came over with the right sizes and prices, then move the rest.
- Start on search. Category pages, product descriptions written for people, and a reason for anyone to link to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the hosting meets WooCommerce's stated requirements: PHP 8.3, WordPress 6.9 or later, and MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6. Most managed WordPress hosts already run those.
A store does more work per page than a blog, so hosting matters more once WooCommerce is installed. Shared hosting copes with a small catalogue; a few thousand products and steady traffic is the point most sellers move to managed WooCommerce hosting.
Yes, in the free plugin. One product page holds several variations, and each carries its own price, stock, image and SKU. Since WooCommerce 11.1 in September 2026 each variation can have a full image gallery rather than a single photograph.
The plugin is, and it takes no cut of your sales. Hosting runs from about $60 a year shared to $360 and up managed, extensions commonly add $100 to $500 a year, and card processing costs 1.5% + £0.20 on UK cards through Stripe.
Not at first, and not without work. Trendyol reports more than 30 million active shoppers and your store opens with none. About 51% of WooCommerce store traffic comes from organic search, so the store earns its orders over months rather than days.
FLUF records the WooCommerce order and ends the matching Trendyol listing.
FLUF does not receive Trendyol orders. Mark the item sold in FLUF, then set its stock to zero in your WordPress admin so the store cannot sell it again.
Not for a good while. Trendyol keeps taking orders while your site earns its search rankings, and the two audiences are different. Most sellers run both and only reconsider once the store is producing steady traffic of its own.
