Why an online store makes sense for Dornbirn
Dornbirn is a municipality in vorarlberg, austria, where around 48,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Austria where we build online stores.
Textile and retail hub in Vorarlberg — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.

An online store built around your Dornbirn business
Dornbirn businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom online store, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
In Dornbirn we typically work with retail brands, D2C start-ups, speciality shops and manufacturers selling direct, and with sellers in categories such as fashion, electronics, sports and ski equipment and home that have strong online demand in Austria.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your online store includes

Owning your channel in Austria
Many Dornbirn sellers already list on Amazon.de, willhaben, Zalando, Universal, MediaMarkt AT and shöpping.at. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
Your online store 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 Austria
For Dornbirn sellers, tax first: Austrian VAT (USt) is 20% standard with 13% and 10% reduced rates.
Two frameworks shape the build: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by the Datenschutzbehörde, and the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops, the Austrian FAGG distance-selling act and the E-Commerce Act (ECG).
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 Austria.
Mobile commerce in Dornbirn
In Dornbirn, shoppers browse on phones first. A customer shopping app for Android and iOS can share the same catalogue, cart, offers and order history, with push notifications for drops, price alerts and delivery updates.
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+2 so offers reach Dornbirn customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in German.
- Courier and shipping aggregators
- CRM and email marketing
- Payment gateways and wallets
- Accounting and GST/VAT invoicing
- Google Analytics 4 and Merchant Center
- Meta and TikTok catalogues
- WhatsApp Business API
- ERP and inventory software
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
