The case for a custom e-commerce platform in Szombathely
Szombathely is a city with county rights in western transdanubia, hungary, home to about 76,000 people, and one of the markets in Hungary where we build custom e-commerce platforms.
Western Hungary city near the Austrian border — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Hungary has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Hungary has a lively online market with strong use of pickup lockers such as Foxpost. Real-time NAV invoice reporting must be built into order processing.
That is why more companies in Szombathely are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper custom e-commerce platform — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
What makes a Szombathely store feel local
A store that works in Szombathely respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Hungarian forint: HUF amounts from product page to invoice, so Szombathely buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Hungarian, so a Szombathely customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and SimplePay, Magyar Posta delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Szombathely.
Domain, phone and contact
A .hu domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +36, so a customer in Szombathely taps once to call or message.

Your custom e-commerce platform can book shipments and share tracking with Magyar Posta, GLS Hungary, Foxpost, Packeta, DPD and Express One, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Szombathely.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Compliance built into your custom e-commerce platform
On tax: Hungarian VAT (ÁFA) is 27% standard, one of the highest in the EU, with 18% and 5% reduced rates; real-time invoice reporting to NAV is required.
Customer data is handled with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by NAIH in mind, and the storefront follows the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops and Government Decree 45/2014 on consumer contracts.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Szombathely.
Owning your channel in Hungary
Many Szombathely sellers already list on eMAG.hu, Árukereső, Jófogás, Media Markt, Alza.hu and Temu. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
