Hire an Ecommerce Virtual Assistant and Get Your Time Back
Shopify and WooCommerce support for solo founders who are done doing everything themselves.
You're not short of ideas. You're short of time. Product uploads, customer emails, order chasing, inventory updates, it all lands on you, every day. When you hire an ecommerce virtual assistant who already knows the platforms, that operational weight shifts. You stay focused on the decisions only you can make.
Sound Familiar?
Most founders who get in touch are spending 10 or more hours a week on tasks that don't need their brain. They know exactly what needs doing, they just can't find anyone who actually understands how ecommerce works.
That's the difference between a generalist VA and an ecommerce specialist. Working inside Shopify and WooCommerce every day means there's no learning curve, no explaining the basics. You hand things over and they get done properly.
That's exactly who Ecommerce Assist is built for.
What I Handle For You
Store Management and Product Listings Product uploads, variant management, writing descriptions, image optimisation, collection setup, discount codes, app configuration. Brief me once and it runs.
Customer Emails and Order Support Inbox triage, customer queries, order tracking, delivery issues, refund processing. Your customers get a proper response without you needing to be in the loop for every one.
Back-Office and Daily Admin Stock monitoring, supplier chasing, inventory updates, data tidying and general store admin. The tasks that eat your week without moving the business forward, handled consistently so nothing slips.
This Is For You If...
You run a Shopify or WooCommerce store, mostly on your own. You've got the drive and the vision what you need is someone to execute. You want reliable support from a person who knows ecommerce, not someone who needs everything explained from scratch.
How Ecommerce Assist Works
1. Discovery Call & Task Planning
We start with a short call, usually 15 minutes to understand your store, what's on your plate, and where you're losing the most time. We agree on priorities and how we'll work together so everything's clear from the start.
2. Agreement, Access & Setup
Once we're aligned, I'll confirm the scope, working hours, and access. You'll be added to a shared Trello board where every task lives, so you can always see what's in progress and what's done. No chasing required.
I get to work straight away. Tasks are handled efficiently, Trello is kept up to date, and you get regular progress updates. As your store evolves, the support adapts with it, whether that's a one-off project or ongoing weekly hours.
3. Execution, Updates & Ongoing Support

I'm Peter Barbe, based in Hove, Brighton. Before starting Ecommerce Assist, I built and ran ecommerce brands myself — which means I know exactly what it feels like to have a solid plan and no time to execute it.
That experience is why I can get straight to work on your store without needing everything explained. I've been in the same position. I know which tasks eat your day and which ones move the needle.
Who's Behind It
Frequently asked questions
What ecommerce platforms do you have experience with?
Shopify is our primary platform it's where most of our work happens. We also work with WooCommerce, Hostinger, and other major platforms, as well as marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. If you're not sure whether we can support your setup, just ask chances are we already have.
What tasks can you handle for my online store?
Quite a lot. Store management, product uploads, variant updates, page builds, order tracking, stock monitoring, supplier chasing, customer service, email marketing, campaign scheduling, and automation setup. If it's operational and it's taking time away from growing your business, it's the kind of task we take on.
Can you help with product listings, descriptions, and SEO?
Yes. We write and format product descriptions, optimise titles and metadata, manage images, and make sure listings are consistent and search-friendly across your store and any marketplaces you sell on. Good listings do more than look professional they help customers find you and convert when they do.
What tools do you use to stay organised and manage tasks efficiently?
We use Trello to manage all client work. Once you're onboarded, you'll have access to a shared board where every task, update, and progress note is visible. No chasing for updates, no wondering what's been done everything is tracked and transparent from day one.
