Ecommerce website development for Greek businesses
Ecommerce development for Greek businesses has to handle payment on delivery as a mainstream choice rather than a legacy one, and a geography of islands where a single national shipping rate is wrong almost everywhere. We build remotely from Rajkot and hold no Greek office.
How do you work with Greek clients?
We hold no Greek office.
Work runs from our studio in Rajkot on a shared board you can open at any time, with decisions written down the day they are made and scope changes priced in writing before they are built. What is specific to Greece is geography and trust, and they interact. Hundreds of inhabited islands mean delivery time and cost vary enormously, so a store quoting one national figure is either subsidising the hard deliveries or losing the easy ones, and the customers who notice first are the ones furthest away. Payment on delivery remains a mainstream choice, partly because it removes the trust question for a buyer who does not know your brand, and it brings the same lifecycle consequences it does elsewhere: money after despatch, reconciliation through the carrier, and an uncollected parcel as a real cost. Building honest zone-based delivery and a proper collected-payment flow is where the first phase goes. Invoicing is in euro. Contracts are governed by the laws of India, stated plainly in our terms and worth raising with your adviser before signing.
What we build
Four services, delivered the same way wherever you are: Shopify stores, WooCommerce stores, the interface design that decides whether either converts, and the automation that removes manual work from running them.
- Shopify in Europe
Shopify Development
Shopify development is the work of building a store on Shopify that does what your business needs rather than what a theme allows.
- WooCommerce in Europe
WooCommerce Development
WooCommerce development is the work of building a store on WordPress and WooCommerce, where you host the software and own the database outright.
- UI/UX in Europe
UI/UX Design
Ecommerce UI/UX design is the work of deciding how a store looks and how customers move through it, from landing page to completed order.
- AI in Europe
AI Automation
AI automation for ecommerce means using language models and workflow tools to remove repetitive work from running a store.
Which platforms dominate in Greece?
Our observation, not sourced data
What we see in the Greek market, stated as our observation rather than as data we can source: WooCommerce holds a large share among small and mid-sized merchants, Shopify appears among newer brands, and marketplace presence is significant enough that stock synchronisation is usually part of the scope. The pattern worth naming is that the carrier integration and the collected-payment reconciliation are what determine whether a Greek store runs smoothly, rather than anything about the storefront.
What does a Greek store actually have to handle?
Every layer below is something a store selling in Greece has to get right, and most of them are decided before a line of code is written. Thresholds and rates are deliberately not quoted here — they change, and the primary sources are linked further down.
| Layer | What Greek stores usually need |
|---|---|
| Currency | Euro, with prices shown inclusive of VAT to consumers |
| Payment methods | Cards and instalment plans, with payment on delivery still mainstream |
| Geography | Island delivery varies enormously, so one national rate is wrong nearly everywhere |
| Shipping carriers | ELTA, ACS, Geniki Taxydromiki, Speedex; lockers are growing |
| Cash on delivery | Removes the trust barrier for unknown brands and shifts reconciliation to the carrier |
| Tax handling | Greek VAT, with one-stop-shop reporting for EU distance sales |
| Data protection | GDPR, supervised by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority |
| Consumer rights | A fourteen-day withdrawal right on most distance sales |
Cities we cover in Greece
Each city page describes what commerce actually looks like there rather than repeating this one. If your city is not listed, the service is identical — we simply have not written a page worth publishing about it yet.
Data and consumer rules
Primary sources
A Greek store meets the two standard EU regimes, with one operational consequence that touches both. Data protection runs through GDPR, supervised by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority, governing what you collect, why, how long you keep it and what a customer can require you to erase. Consumer law gives a fourteen-day withdrawal right on most distance sales, stated before purchase rather than only in terms. The consequence is payment on delivery: where the customer pays the carrier, part of the transaction record sits outside your system, and both the tax position and the withdrawal handling depend on reconciling it properly. A store that marks a collected order as paid at despatch will have books that do not match its bank and refunds that cannot be traced. We build so the payment state is explicit at every step. Which obligations apply to your business is a question for your own adviser, and nothing here is legal advice.
Nothing on this page is legal or tax advice.
Where Greek businesses sell next
These are the markets clients in Greece most often ask about once the first store is trading. Each has its own payment habits, carriers and regulator, and a store built for one does not automatically work in the next. Every other market we cover is listed underneath.

Greek questions we are asked
5 questions specific to working with us from Greece, including the one most agencies avoid: whether anybody at this studio is actually in the country.
Do you have a Greek office?
No. We work from Rajkot, India, and say so rather than implying an Athens address. You get a named contact who stays with the account, a shared board you can open at any time, and answers within one business day. Where a project genuinely needs somebody present, we are the wrong supplier.
How should island delivery be priced?
By zone, with honest times rather than one national promise. Distance, ferry schedules and carrier coverage all vary, and a single figure is wrong in both directions. Publishing real days by destination reads as competence to the customers most used to being an afterthought.
Is payment on delivery still worth offering?
For many Greek stores, yes, because it removes the trust barrier for a buyer who does not know the brand. It also costs you uncollected parcels and delayed cash. Measuring the uncollected rate before deciding is worth an afternoon, and most merchants we ask have never done it.
Does the Greek alphabet cause technical problems?
Not for content, which is straightforward. It does affect URLs and search: transliterated slugs and accent-insensitive matching both need deciding rather than defaulting. Customers frequently search without accents, and a store that only matches accented forms returns nothing for a term it stocks.
Should we sell on a marketplace too?
Many Greek merchants do, and it is a commercial decision. Technically it needs one stock figure both channels follow, because independent figures diverge within weeks and a cancelled marketplace order damages a seller rating in a way a website cancellation does not.
