The case for an international e-commerce platform in Ayia Napa–Paralimni
Ayia Napa–Paralimni is a commercial centre in Cyprus, and one of the places where we build international and multi-region stores for local businesses.
The local economy is driven by hospitality, tourism retail and seasonal services, and commercial activity concentrates around the Nissi Avenue resort zone and the Ayia Napa marina.
Logistics are supported by The A3 motorway from Larnaca, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Cyprus has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Cyprus is an English-friendly EU market with a strong services economy, international business community and tourism. Local brands use webshops to reach the Greek-speaking diaspora and visitors.
That is why more companies in Ayia Napa–Paralimni are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper international e-commerce platform — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
