The case for a shopping app in Pécs
Pécs is a city with county rights in southern transdanubia, hungary, with a population of roughly 138,000, and one of the markets in Hungary where we build mobile commerce apps.
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 Pécs 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 Pécs, not translated into it
Conversion in Pécs depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Pécs shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in HUF, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Hungarian, so a Pécs 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 Pécs.
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 Pécs taps once to call or message.
Custom-built for how you sell in Pécs
Every NNT Mart shopping app in Pécs 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 Pécs 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, home and garden and beauty that have strong online demand in Hungary.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
Features of your shopping app in Pécs
These are the building blocks of a shopping app. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Pécs operation needs.
Customer shopping app
Browse, search, wish-lists, cart, wallet and UPI or card checkout, order tracking and push offers. Multiple stock points in Hungary are supported, so a Pécs order ships from the nearest one.
Dealer and B2B app
Account pricing, quick re-order, statements, schemes and barcode scanning for trade buyers. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Pécs guide stock and marketing decisions.
Delivery partner app
Assigned orders, route navigation, proof of delivery, COD collection and status updates. Content and design can follow how customers in Pécs search and buy, including Hungarian where you need it.
Store and admin app
Order alerts, stock updates, price changes and sales snapshots for owners and managers. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Pécs teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Engagement
Segmented push notifications, deep links, in-app banners, loyalty and referral programmes. Customers in Pécs can pay with Visa and Mastercard, SimplePay and cash on delivery (utánvét), with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Performance and offline
Fast native-feel UI, image caching, offline cart and graceful handling of poor networks. Delivery can be booked through Magyar Posta, GLS Hungary and Foxpost or dispatched by your own riders around Pécs.
Getting paid online in Pécs
A shopping app for Pécs must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, SimplePay, cash on delivery (utánvét), Google Pay and Apple Pay and bank transfer.
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 Hungarian forint (HUF).
- Visa and Mastercard
- SimplePay
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery (utánvét)
- Google Pay and Apple Pay
Fulfilment options for Pécs orders
Your shopping app 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 Pécs.
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.
Compliance built into your shopping app
For Pécs sellers, tax first: 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.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Hungary.
Your own store alongside eMAG.hu and Árukereső
EMAG.hu, Árukereső and Jófogás are where many shoppers in Pécs start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
Your shopping app becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.

Android and iOS apps for your Pécs business
Phones carry most traffic in Hungary. Every app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, with crash reporting, analytics and release management included.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your shopping app, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+2 so offers reach Pécs customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Hungarian.
- Customer support chat
- Payment SDKs and wallets
- Social login
- Maps and location services
- Barcode and QR scanning
- Analytics and crash reporting
- Commerce APIs and headless backends
- Firebase and push messaging
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 Pécs
Value first, depth later. For a shopping app serving Pécs, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| MVP app | Core shopping, checkout, order tracking and push notifications. Configured for HUF, Visa and Mastercard and Magyar Posta from the start. |
| Engage | Loyalty, referrals, personalised offers and deep links. |
| Extend | Dealer, delivery and admin apps on the same backend. Reviewed against how Pécs 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.
Time zones, language and support
Pécs 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.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Hungarian. 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; Pécs clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
