Why Daugavpils businesses are investing in online stores
Daugavpils is a state city of latvia in latgale and selonia, capital of augšdaugava municipality, where around 77,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Latvia where we build online stores.
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.
That is why more companies in Daugavpils are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper online store — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
What makes a Daugavpils store feel local
Conversion in Daugavpils 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 euro (EUR), formatted the way Daugavpils customers read them.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Latvian, Russian and English, so a Daugavpils customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor), Latvijas Pasts delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Daugavpils.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .lv where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +371 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Daugavpils University close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Daugavpils.
Custom-built for how you sell in Daugavpils
We do not hand Daugavpils 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.
Typical clients include D2C start-ups, speciality shops, manufacturers selling direct and grocery and food businesses. Categories that sell especially well online in Latvia — electronics, fashion, home and DIY and cosmetics and wellness — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
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
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Daugavpils 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. Shipping rules can use Latvijas Pasts, Omniva and DPD Latvija as well as your own delivery staff in Daugavpils.
Catalogue manager
Categories, brands, variants, bundles, specifications, images, videos and bulk import/export so your team can manage thousands of SKUs. Multiple stock points in Latvia are supported, so a Daugavpils order ships from the nearest one.
Checkout and payments
Guest and account checkout, local payment gateways, wallets, bank transfer, cash on delivery, coupons and abandoned-cart recovery. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Daugavpils, so you see what to promote.
Orders and fulfilment
Order confirmation, packing slips, courier booking, tracking links, cancellations, returns, refunds and customer notifications. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Daugavpils look for products, in Latvian and Russian if your audience needs it.
Inventory and locations
Stock by warehouse or store, low-stock alerts, store pickup, local delivery zones and sync with your existing inventory system. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Daugavpils teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Growth and reporting
Promotions, loyalty, reviews, email and WhatsApp campaigns, plus dashboards for revenue, products, customers and conversion. Customers in Daugavpils can pay with Visa and Mastercard, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor) and Smart-ID, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Daugavpils
Popular online categories in Latvia include electronics, fashion, home and DIY, cosmetics and wellness, food and timber and furniture.

How Daugavpils customers pay online
Shoppers in Daugavpils rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Visa and Mastercard, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor) and Smart-ID, then Revolut, Apple Pay and Google Pay and Klarna.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown 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.
- Visa and Mastercard
- Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor)
- Klarna
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Revolut
- Smart-ID
Fulfilment options for Daugavpils orders
Your online store 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.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Connectivity in the area — The Riga–Daugavpils rail and road corridor — makes regional and national dispatch from Daugavpils practical.
Daugavpils sellers: marketplace plus your own store
SS.lv, Kurpirkt and Amazon.de are where many shoppers in Daugavpils 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 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.
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 Daugavpils.
Add a mobile app for Daugavpils customers
Phones carry most traffic in Latvia. 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.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Daugavpils time (UTC+3), in Latvian and Russian if you want.
- WhatsApp Business API
- Payment gateways and wallets
- ERP and inventory software
- CRM and email marketing
- Meta and TikTok catalogues
- Google Analytics 4 and Merchant Center
- Accounting and GST/VAT invoicing
- Courier and shipping aggregators
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
A phased launch plan for Daugavpils
Value first, depth later. For an online store serving Daugavpils, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch store | Storefront, catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping and admin go live. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Latvijas Pasts 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 Daugavpils customers actually buy. |
We track conversion rate, average order value, cart abandonment, repeat-purchase rate, page speed (Core Web Vitals) and return rate on a live dashboard from day one, so Daugavpils results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Daugavpils runs on UTC+3, which is 2h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Latvian. You get a named lead, direct engineer access and an NDA if you ask.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Daugavpils clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
