Why an online store makes sense for Miskolc
Miskolc is a commercial centre in Hungary home to about 139,000 people, and one of the places where we build online stores for local businesses.
Northern industrial city with automotive suppliers — 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.
For a business in Miskolc, 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.
What makes a Miskolc store feel local

Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Hungarian forint (HUF), formatted the way Miskolc customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Hungarian, with local date and number formats.

Custom-built for how you sell in Miskolc
Your online store is planned, designed and coded for your business model — not adapted from someone else's — and it can ship with a customer or staff mobile app on day one.
Typical clients include D2C start-ups, speciality shops, manufacturers selling direct and grocery and food businesses. Categories that sell especially well online in Hungary — electronics, fashion, home and garden and beauty — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Miskolc clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Miskolc business sells.
Branded storefront
A fast, mobile-first design on your own domain with your colours, typography, banners, landing pages and SEO-ready category structure. Content and design can follow how customers in Miskolc search and buy, including Hungarian where you need it.
Catalogue manager
Categories, brands, variants, bundles, specifications, images, videos and bulk import/export so your team can manage thousands of SKUs. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Miskolc teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Checkout and payments

Orders and fulfilment
Order confirmation, packing slips, courier booking, tracking links, cancellations, returns, refunds and customer notifications. Couriers such as Magyar Posta, GLS Hungary and Foxpost plug in alongside your own fleet for Miskolc orders.
Inventory and locations
Stock by warehouse or store, low-stock alerts, store pickup, local delivery zones and sync with your existing inventory system. Inventory can sit in Miskolc, in a partner warehouse or across Hungary, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Growth and reporting
Promotions, loyalty, reviews, email and WhatsApp campaigns, plus dashboards for revenue, products, customers and conversion. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Miskolc guide stock and marketing decisions.

Rules Miskolc sellers must respect online
Tax basics: 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.
Two frameworks shape the build: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by NAIH, 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 and Government Decree 45/2014 on consumer contracts.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Miskolc.

| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|

| Grow | Promotions, loyalty, reviews, marketing integrations and SEO content. |
| Scale | Mobile app, marketplace feeds, multi-warehouse and ERP sync. Reviewed against how Miskolc customers actually buy. |
