Why an international e-commerce platform makes sense for Novi Sad
Novi Sad is a commercial centre in Serbia where around 260,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build international and multi-region stores for local businesses.
Key sectors include IT, outsourcing, agri-food, trade and manufacturing, with business districts such as the Liman district, Novi Sad Fair and the Spens area.
Logistics are supported by The Belgrade–Novi Sad high-speed railway and Danube port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Serbia has a thriving IT sector, widespread cash-on-delivery habits and rising card and QR payments. Strong courier competition keeps delivery cheap and fast.
For a business in Novi Sad, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own international e-commerce platform keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Localised for Novi Sad, not translated into it
Conversion in Novi Sad depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Novi Sad shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in RSD, written the local way.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Serbian, English and Hungarian, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Novi Sad recognise: Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard and IPS NBS instant QR payments and delivery through Pošta Srbije.
Domain, phone and contact
A .срб domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +381, so a customer in Novi Sad taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With University of Novi Sad and the Faculty of Technical Sciences close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Novi Sad.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Every NNT Mart international e-commerce platform in Novi Sad is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
In Novi Sad 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 furniture and auto parts that have strong online demand in Serbia.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Novi Sad clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Novi Sad business sells.
Regional storefronts
Country or region sites with local language, content, currency, promotions and hreflang SEO. Multiple stock points in Serbia are supported, so a Novi Sad order ships from the nearest one.
Local payments
Market-specific cards, wallets, bank transfers, BNPL and cash methods through suitable providers. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Novi Sad guide stock and marketing decisions.
Tax and duties
VAT, GST and sales-tax rules, tax-inclusive pricing, duties and landed-cost estimates where needed. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Novi Sad shoppers and available in Serbian and English.
Cross-border shipping
International couriers, regional warehouses, shipping zones, customs documents and returns. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Novi Sad team keeps its current way of working.
Compliance pages
Market-appropriate privacy notices, cookie consent, consumer terms and accessibility considerations. Checkout is configured for Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard, IPS NBS instant QR payments and cash on delivery.
Regional reporting
Sales, margin, conversion and marketing performance by country and currency. Couriers such as Pošta Srbije, D Express and AKS Express plug in alongside your own fleet for Novi Sad orders.
Payments customers in Novi Sad expect
An international e-commerce platform for Novi Sad must support the way people here actually pay: Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard, IPS NBS instant QR payments, cash on delivery, bank transfer and Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in RSD — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around the Liman district often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard. We support both flows.
- IPS NBS instant QR payments
- Cash on delivery
- Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard
- Bank transfer
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
Delivery and fulfilment from Novi Sad
Your international e-commerce platform can book shipments and share tracking with Pošta Srbije, D Express, AKS Express, City Express, DHL, BEX Express and Box Now lockers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Novi Sad.
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.
Connectivity in the area — The Belgrade–Novi Sad high-speed railway and Danube port — makes regional and national dispatch from Novi Sad practical.
Selling online legally in Serbia
For Novi Sad sellers, tax first: Serbia charges 20% VAT with a 10% reduced rate; businesses must issue e-invoices through the SEF (Sistem e-Faktura) platform and fiscalise retail sales.
Customer data is handled with the Law on Personal Data Protection (2018), modelled on the GDPR and overseen by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Law and the Law on Electronic Commerce, with a 14-day withdrawal right.
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 Novi Sad.
Your own store alongside KupujemProdajem and Gigatron
For a Novi Sad business, KupujemProdajem, Gigatron, Tehnomanija and Limundo are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
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.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Novi Sad
Popular online categories in Serbia include electronics, fashion, home and furniture, auto parts, food and IT products. Local demand in Novi Sad is shaped by IT, outsourcing, agri-food, trade and manufacturing, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Novi Sad, we most often build international and multi-region stores for:
Exporters
Exporters get regional storefronts plus tax and duties workflows tailored to their operations.
D2C brands expanding abroad
We map how D2C brands expanding abroad sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Manufacturers selling to distributors overseas
For manufacturers selling to distributors overseas, we usually start with cross-border shipping, then add international couriers and 3PLs once orders are flowing.
Diaspora-focused retailers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for diaspora-focused retailers in Novi Sad, connected to the systems you already use.
Tourism and gifting businesses
Tourism and gifting businesses get compliance pages plus regional storefronts workflows tailored to their operations.
Multi-country retail groups
We map how multi-country retail groups sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Android and iOS apps for your Novi Sad business
In Novi Sad, shoppers browse on phones first. Region-aware mobile apps can switch language, currency and payment options automatically while sharing one codebase and backend.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your international e-commerce platform, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+2 so offers reach Novi Sad customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Serbian and English.
- Marketplace feeds by country
- Geo-IP and consent platforms
- ERP and accounting
- Translation management
- Multi-currency payment providers
- Regional analytics
- Tax engines
- International couriers and 3PLs
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
A phased launch plan for Novi Sad
Value first, depth later. For an international e-commerce platform serving Novi Sad, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| First market | One new region with language, currency, payments, tax and shipping. Configured for RSD, Visa, Mastercard and DinaCard and Pošta Srbije from the start. |
| Multi-region | Additional countries, local promotions and marketplace feeds. |
| Optimise | Regional apps, warehouses and localisation improvements. Reviewed against how Novi Sad 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 Novi Sad results are visible, not promised.

Novi Sad runs on UTC+2, which is 3h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
