We've helped 100+ e-commerce brands enter and scale across CEE - Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, the Baltics, and beyond. Market research, localization, launch, and scale - all under one roof. 22 years on the ground in the region.
Expansion typically represents approximately 10–15% of the investment into the e-shop itself. It depends on your needs, whether it is localization of the e-commerce store, SEO, integration with local payment gateways, logistics, marketing, and customer experience. The exact scope always depends on the market and the readiness of your solution.
Three pragmatic answers depending on your goal:
We help you decide based on your category and margin.
Export is not just translating a website.
We address the entire ecosystem:
In most cases, NO. Thanks to the EU OSS (One Stop Shop) regime, you can sell across all EU member states with a single VAT registration in your home country. Local entities are typically not required - you just need a localized e-shop, local PSPs, and a courier partner. Exceptions apply if you use local warehousing (e.g. Amazon FBA in Germany) or exceed certain revenue thresholds.
Don't guess—know your potential. We conduct deep-dive market research to identify high-growth export markets, analyzing everything from industry trends to competitor gaps. By blending market data with UX insights, we ensure your brand resonates locally from day one. Our data-driven strategies help clients identify untapped opportunities and achieve a +45% average increase in conversion rates.
