The case for an international e-commerce platform in Craiova
Craiova is a commercial centre in Romania where around 234,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build international and multi-region stores for local businesses.
Romania has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Romania's online market is growing fast, but cash on delivery is still widely used, so flexible payment rules are essential. easybox lockers make delivery cheaper outside big cities.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Craiova already compare options on their phones; an international e-commerce platform that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts cash on delivery (ramburs) turns that research into orders.
What makes a Craiova store feel local
Conversion in Craiova depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Craiova shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in RON, written the local way.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Romanian, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as cash on delivery (ramburs) and Visa and Mastercard and Fan Courier sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .ro where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +40, so a customer in Craiova taps once to call or message.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Craiova, N&T Software designs and develops the international e-commerce platform and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
In Craiova we typically work with exporters, D2C brands expanding abroad, manufacturers selling to distributors overseas and diaspora-focused retailers, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, home and DIY and beauty that have strong online demand in Romania.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your international e-commerce platform includes
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Regional storefronts
Country or region sites with local language, content, currency, promotions and hreflang SEO. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Craiova shoppers and available in Romanian.
Local payments
Market-specific cards, wallets, bank transfers, BNPL and cash methods through suitable providers. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Craiova team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Tax and duties
VAT, GST and sales-tax rules, tax-inclusive pricing, duties and landed-cost estimates where needed. Customers in Craiova can pay with cash on delivery (ramburs), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Cross-border shipping
International couriers, regional warehouses, shipping zones, customs documents and returns. Couriers such as Fan Courier, Sameday easybox and Cargus plug in alongside your own fleet for Craiova orders.
Compliance pages
Market-appropriate privacy notices, cookie consent, consumer terms and accessibility considerations. Inventory can sit in Craiova, in a partner warehouse or across Romania, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Regional reporting
Sales, margin, conversion and marketing performance by country and currency. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Craiova, so you see what to promote.
Payments customers in Craiova expect
Shoppers in Craiova rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means cash on delivery (ramburs), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, then Google Pay and Apple Pay and TBI Bank instalments.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in Romanian leu (RON).
- Cash on delivery (ramburs)
- Visa and Mastercard
- TBI Bank instalments
- Google Pay and Apple Pay
- PayPal
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Craiova
Your international e-commerce platform can book shipments and share tracking with Fan Courier, Sameday easybox, Cargus, DPD Romania and Poșta Română, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Craiova.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Romania
On tax: Romanian VAT (TVA) is 21% standard with an 11% reduced rate since August 2025, and B2B e-invoicing through RO e-Factura is mandatory.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by ANSPDCP; on consumer rights the store reflects 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 Emergency Ordinance 34/2014 on consumer rights.
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 Craiova.
Marketplaces vs. your own international e-commerce platform in Craiova
Many Craiova sellers already list on eMAG, OLX, Altex, Fashion Days, Carrefour 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.

Add a mobile app for Craiova customers
In Craiova, shoppers browse on phones first. Region-aware mobile apps can switch language, currency and payment options automatically while sharing one codebase and backend.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Craiova time (UTC+3), in Romanian if you want.
- ERP and accounting
- Multi-currency payment providers
- Geo-IP and consent platforms
- Regional analytics
- International couriers and 3PLs
- Translation management
- Tax engines
- Marketplace feeds by country
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
From first demo to growth in Craiova
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for an international e-commerce platform in Craiova:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| First market | One new region with language, currency, payments, tax and shipping. Configured for RON, cash on delivery (ramburs) and Fan Courier from the start. |
| Multi-region | Additional countries, local promotions and marketplace feeds. |
| Optimise | Regional apps, warehouses and localisation improvements. Reviewed against how Craiova customers actually buy. |
We track conversion by country, international order share, checkout completion by payment method, delivery time by region, return rate abroad and margin after duties and shipping on a live dashboard from day one, so Craiova results are visible, not promised.
