The case for a shopping app in Greece
Greece is a market of about 10 million people where mobile commerce apps are growing fast, with Athens as its capital.
Greece has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Greek shoppers research heavily on Skroutz and expect cash-on-delivery and IRIS options. Island delivery rules and Greek-language product content are important.
That is why more companies in Greece are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper shopping app — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
Localised for Greece, not translated into it
A store that works in Greece respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks euro: EUR amounts from product page to invoice, so Greece buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Greek, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Visa and Mastercard and IRIS instant payments and ELTA Courier sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .gr where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +30 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Custom-built for how you sell in Greece
Whatever your business sells in Greece, N&T Software designs and develops the shopping app and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
In Greece we typically work with retail brands, grocery and pharmacy chains, restaurants and cloud kitchens and distributors with dealer networks, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, beauty and home that have strong online demand in Greece.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
What your shopping app includes
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Greece business sells.
Customer shopping app
Browse, search, wish-lists, cart, wallet and UPI or card checkout, order tracking and push offers. Delivery can be booked through ELTA Courier, ACS and Geniki Taxydromiki or dispatched by your own riders around Greece.
Dealer and B2B app
Account pricing, quick re-order, statements, schemes and barcode scanning for trade buyers. Inventory can sit in Greece, in a partner warehouse or across Greece, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Delivery partner app
Assigned orders, route navigation, proof of delivery, COD collection and status updates. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Greece guide stock and marketing decisions.
Store and admin app
Order alerts, stock updates, price changes and sales snapshots for owners and managers. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Greece look for products, in Greek if your audience needs it.
Engagement
Segmented push notifications, deep links, in-app banners, loyalty and referral programmes. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Greece team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Performance and offline
Fast native-feel UI, image caching, offline cart and graceful handling of poor networks. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, IRIS instant payments and PayPal.
Industries in Greece we work with
Popular online categories in Greece include electronics, fashion, beauty, home, food and olive oil and tourism products. In Greece, we most often build mobile commerce apps for:
Retail brands
Retail brands get customer shopping app plus delivery partner app workflows tailored to their operations.
Grocery and pharmacy chains
We map how grocery and pharmacy chains sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Restaurants and cloud kitchens
For restaurants and cloud kitchens, we usually start with store and admin app, then add Firebase and push messaging once orders are flowing.
Distributors with dealer networks
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for distributors with dealer networks in Greece, connected to the systems you already use.
D2C start-ups
D2C start-ups get engagement plus customer shopping app workflows tailored to their operations.
Marketplace operators
We map how marketplace operators sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Payments customers in Greece expect
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Greece, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard, IRIS instant payments and PayPal, and many also look for cash on delivery (antikatavoli), bank transfer and Klarna.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in euro (EUR).
- PayPal
- Cash on delivery (antikatavoli)
- Bank transfer
- Visa and Mastercard
- Klarna
- IRIS instant payments
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Greece
Your shopping app can book shipments and share tracking with ELTA Courier, ACS, Geniki Taxydromiki, Speedex and BOX NOW lockers, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
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.
Owning your channel in Greece
Skroutz, Public and Plaisio are where many shoppers in Greece start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
With your own shopping app you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Selling online legally in Greece
For Greece sellers, tax first: Greek VAT (FPA) is 24% standard with 13% and 6% reduced rates, and lower rates on some Aegean islands.
Customer data is handled with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority 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 Law 2251/1994 on consumer protection.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser.
Add a mobile app for Greece customers
In Greece, shoppers browse on phones first. Every app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, with crash reporting, analytics and release management included.
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.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+3 so offers reach Greece customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Greek.
- Analytics and crash reporting
- Barcode and QR scanning
- Payment SDKs and wallets
- Firebase and push messaging
- Commerce APIs and headless backends
- Social login
- Maps and location services
- Customer support chat
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 Greece
Value first, depth later. For a shopping app serving Greece, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| MVP app | Core shopping, checkout, order tracking and push notifications. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and ELTA Courier from the start. |
| Engage | Loyalty, referrals, personalised offers and deep links. |
| Extend | Dealer, delivery and admin apps on the same backend. Reviewed against how Greece customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on app installs and active users, app conversion rate, push-notification click rate, crash-free sessions, store rating and share of revenue from app — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
How Greece clients work with us
Our team covers UTC+3 — 2h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Greece client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Greek. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your shopping app.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; clients in Greece are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
