Plant finder
Sun, soil and size.
Garden centre plant finders by sun, soil & size
Garden centres: the right plant for every spot. Plant finders that sell.
Customers asking what grows in shade, plants not online and deliveries arranged by phone. We build plant finders and online stores for garden centres.
Looking for a garden centre plant finder or online store?
Plant buyers need the right plant for their conditions. We build finders by sun, soil and size and sell the plants online.
Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for garden centres around how your shop actually runs. We connect the POS and platforms you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to selling.

What we hear from garden centres
Does your garden centre have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Software, websites and systems for garden centres.

Custom software for garden centres

Websites for garden centres
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Garden centre system upgrades

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your garden centre: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things garden centres ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers create a plant list for their garden?
Yes. Customers can save plant lists and order them together.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your garden centre. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Do we have to leave Shopify or WooCommerce?
No. Most of the time we build on top of the platform you're on: custom features, integrations and better product tools. If it's genuinely holding you back we'll explain the options first.
Can the shop and the website share stock?
Yes. We sync your POS, website and marketplaces so stock, prices and orders line up without anyone retyping them.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most garden centres we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
