Why Daugavpils businesses are investing in mobile commerce apps
Daugavpils is a state city of latvia in latgale and selonia, capital of augšdaugava municipality, home to about 77,000 people, and one of the markets in Latvia where we build mobile commerce apps.
Businesses here work in manufacturing, logistics, trade and services; many are based around the city centre and the Daugavpils industrial park.
Logistics are supported by The Riga–Daugavpils rail and road corridor, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Latvia has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Latvia sits between Baltic neighbours with a similar shopper profile: bank-link payment, locker delivery and bilingual Latvian/Russian customers. Local brands use webshops to reach the wider Baltic and Nordic region.
For a business in Daugavpils, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own shopping app keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Localised for Daugavpils, not translated into it

Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Latvian, Russian and English where your audience needs it.

Designed to your requirements, not a template
Every NNT Mart shopping app in Daugavpils 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 Daugavpils 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 DIY and cosmetics and wellness that have strong online demand in Latvia.
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 Daugavpils 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 Latvijas Pasts, Omniva and DPD Latvija or dispatched by your own riders around Daugavpils.
Dealer and B2B app
Account pricing, quick re-order, statements, schemes and barcode scanning for trade buyers. Inventory can sit in Daugavpils, in a partner warehouse or across Latvia, 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 Daugavpils guide stock and marketing decisions.
Store and admin app
Order alerts, stock updates, price changes and sales snapshots for owners and managers. Content and design can follow how customers in Daugavpils search and buy, including Latvian and Russian where you need it.
Engagement
Segmented push notifications, deep links, in-app banners, loyalty and referral programmes. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Daugavpils teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Performance and offline
Fast native-feel UI, image caching, offline cart and graceful handling of poor networks. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor) and Smart-ID.
Who we build for in Daugavpils
Popular online categories in Latvia include electronics, fashion, home and DIY, cosmetics and wellness, food and timber and furniture. Local demand in Daugavpils is shaped by manufacturing, logistics, trade and services, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Daugavpils, we most often build mobile commerce apps for:
Retail brands

Distributors with dealer networks
For distributors with dealer networks, we usually start with engagement, then add maps and location services once orders are flowing.
D2C start-ups
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for D2C start-ups in Daugavpils, connected to the systems you already use.
Marketplace operators

Payments customers in Daugavpils expect
A shopping app for Daugavpils must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor), Smart-ID, Revolut, Apple Pay and Google Pay and Klarna.
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 euro (EUR).
For Daugavpils customers ordering from the city centre and the Daugavpils industrial park, cash-on-delivery and pay-on-pickup rules can be set per delivery zone.
- Smart-ID
- Visa and Mastercard
- Klarna
- Revolut
- Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor)
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Daugavpils
Your shopping app can book shipments and share tracking with Latvijas Pasts, Omniva, DPD Latvija, Itella SmartPost, Venipak and parcel lockers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Daugavpils.
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.
Connectivity in the area — The Riga–Daugavpils rail and road corridor — makes regional and national dispatch from Daugavpils practical.
Owning your channel in Latvia
Many Daugavpils sellers already list on SS.lv, Kurpirkt, Amazon.de, Zalando, Rimi e-veikals and Wolt. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
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.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Latvia
For Daugavpils sellers, tax first: Latvia charges 21% VAT with 12% and 5% reduced rates, and uses the EU One-Stop Shop for B2C distance sales.
On privacy we design around the GDPR and the Personal Data Processing Law, enforced by the Data State Inspectorate; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Rights Protection Law, with 14-day withdrawal and Latvian-language information duties.
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 Latvia.
Take your Daugavpils store onto customers' phones
In Daugavpils, 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.
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.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Daugavpils time (UTC+3), in Latvian and Russian if you want.
- Commerce APIs and headless backends
- Customer support chat
- Social login
- Maps and location services
- Analytics and crash reporting
- Firebase and push messaging
- Barcode and QR scanning
- Payment SDKs and wallets
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 Daugavpils
Value first, depth later. For a shopping app serving Daugavpils, 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 Latvijas Pasts from the start. |
| Engage | Loyalty, referrals, personalised offers and deep links. |
| Extend | Dealer, delivery and admin apps on the same backend. Reviewed against how Daugavpils 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.
