Why Zlín businesses are investing in online stores
Zlín is a commercial centre in Czech Republic where around 75,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build online stores for local businesses.
Moravian city with a strong shoe and manufacturing heritage — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
The Czech Republic has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Czechia has one of Europe's highest numbers of online shops per capita and very price-aware buyers who compare on Heureka. Packeta pickup points and cash on delivery are still popular.
For a business in Zlín, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own online store keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Local details we build into every Zlín project
Conversion in Zlín depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Czech koruna (CZK), formatted the way Zlín customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Czech, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Zlín recognise: Visa and Mastercard and instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate) and delivery through Česká pošta.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .cz where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +420 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Zlín 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 Zlín we typically work with retail brands, D2C start-ups, speciality shops and manufacturers selling direct, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, groceries, cosmetics and fashion that have strong online demand in the Czech Republic.
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 online store includes
These are the building blocks of an online store. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Zlín operation needs.
Branded storefront
A fast, mobile-first design on your own domain with your colours, typography, banners, landing pages and SEO-ready category structure. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Zlín team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Catalogue manager
Categories, brands, variants, bundles, specifications, images, videos and bulk import/export so your team can manage thousands of SKUs. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate) and cash on delivery (dobírka).
Checkout and payments
Guest and account checkout, local payment gateways, wallets, bank transfer, cash on delivery, coupons and abandoned-cart recovery. Delivery can be booked through Česká pošta, Zásilkovna (Packeta) and PPL or dispatched by your own riders around Zlín.
Orders and fulfilment
Order confirmation, packing slips, courier booking, tracking links, cancellations, returns, refunds and customer notifications. Stock can be held in Zlín or anywhere in Czech Republic, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Inventory and locations
Stock by warehouse or store, low-stock alerts, store pickup, local delivery zones and sync with your existing inventory system. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Zlín drive revenue.
Growth and reporting
Promotions, loyalty, reviews, email and WhatsApp campaigns, plus dashboards for revenue, products, customers and conversion. Content and design can follow how customers in Zlín search and buy, including Czech where you need it.

Fulfilment options for Zlín orders
Your online store can book shipments and share tracking with Česká pošta, Zásilkovna (Packeta), PPL, DPD and GLS, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Zlín.
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.
Your own store alongside Alza.cz and Mall.cz
Alza.cz, Mall.cz and Heureka are where many shoppers in Zlín start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
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.
Selling online legally in the Czech Republic
Tax basics: Czech VAT (DPH) is 21% standard and 12% reduced.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by ÚOOÚ; on consumer rights the store reflects 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 the Czech Civil Code consumer provisions.
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 in Czech Republic.
Android and iOS apps for your Zlín business
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.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your online store, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Zlín time (UTC+2), in Czech if you want.
- Courier and shipping aggregators
- WhatsApp Business API
- Meta and TikTok catalogues
- ERP and inventory software
- Google Analytics 4 and Merchant Center
- Payment gateways and wallets
- Accounting and GST/VAT invoicing
- CRM and email marketing
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
Value first, depth later. For an online store serving Zlín, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch store | Storefront, catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping and admin go live. Configured for CZK, Visa and Mastercard and Česká pošta from the start. |
| Grow | Promotions, loyalty, reviews, marketing integrations and SEO content. |
| Scale | Mobile app, marketplace feeds, multi-warehouse and ERP sync. Reviewed against how Zlín customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on conversion rate, average order value, cart abandonment, repeat-purchase rate, page speed (Core Web Vitals) and return rate — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
Time zones, language and support
Our team covers UTC+2 — 3h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Zlín client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Czech. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your online store.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Zlín clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
