Fed from your POS.
Independent supermarket online shopping & delivery software
Independent supermarkets: online shopping without the giant budget. Catalogues, picking and delivery in one.
Shoppers drifting to the big two for online orders, catalogues printed weekly and orders picked from printed lists. We build independent supermarket systems that bring online shopping to your local store.
Looking for online shopping software for an independent supermarket?
Independent supermarkets have thousands of products, weekly specials and loyal local shoppers. We build online stores that feed from your POS, picking tools that make orders fast and delivery that fits your area.
Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for independent supermarkets 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 independent supermarkets
Does your independent supermarket have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most independent supermarkets we talk to are running a shop and a website that don't talk to each other, then fixing the gaps by hand every afternoon.

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 independent supermarket: 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 independent supermarkets ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Will it work with our point of sale?
We connect to most supermarket POS systems for products, prices and stock so the online store stays accurate.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your independent supermarket. 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 independent supermarkets 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.
