Why Szombathely businesses are investing in mobile commerce apps
Szombathely is a city with county rights in western transdanubia, hungary, where around 76,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Hungary where we build mobile commerce apps.
Western Hungary city near the Austrian border — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
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 Szombathely 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.

Custom-built for how you sell in Szombathely
We do not hand Szombathely businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
In Szombathely 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.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your shopping app includes
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Szombathely business sells.

Payments customers in Szombathely expect
Shoppers in Szombathely rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Visa and Mastercard, SimplePay and cash on delivery (utánvét), then 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).

Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Szombathely
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 Szombathely.
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 Hungary
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.
Owning your channel in Hungary
Selling in Szombathely through eMAG.hu, Árukereső and Jófogás gets you reach quickly, yet the buyer belongs to the platform, not to you.
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.
