How much an e-shop costs in 2026
The Greek market ranges per catalogue size, with the usual delivery time. Where your shop lands inside the range depends on the catalogue, the integrations and whether the content is ready.
E-shop
Selling online with cart, payments and shipping.
| Catalogue | Range | Weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 100 products | €1,500 – €3,500 | 3–6 |
| 100 to 1,000 products | €3,500 – €8,000 | 6–12 |
| 1,000+ products or special flows | €8,000 – €25,000+ | 12–26 |
And every year, separately from the build
- Domain: €10 to €30 per year
- Hosting: €50 to €500 per year
- Maintenance and support: €50 to €300 per month, optional
Amounts exclude VAT and refer to professional work. An e-shop's yearly costs also include the payment gateway (a fee per transaction) and the invoicing provider, both depending on sales volume.
Building an e-shop: the guide before you start
What businesses ask before opening an online store in Greece: what a build includes, which platform to choose, what drives the cost, payments, shipping, VAT and how long the project takes.
01What an e-shop build includes
An e-shop isn't a website with a cart. It's a system that takes orders, payments and returns, updates stock, issues receipts and ships parcels. A proper build covers that whole journey, not just the shop window.
Before comparing quotes, make sure you are comparing the same thing: which of the following is included, and which you will have to set up yourself later.
- Product catalogue
- Categories, filters, variants (size, colour), photos, and importing the catalogue from a file or your ERP.
- Cart & checkout
- Few steps, guest checkout, coupons and a clear shipping cost before payment.
- Payments & shipping
- A connected payment gateway and couriers, shipping rules and order notifications.
- Receipts & accounting
- Receipts and invoices reported to myDATA (the Greek tax authority's platform), through your accounting software or provider.
- Legal pages
- Terms, returns and withdrawal policy, privacy and cookie policy, company details.
- Admin & SEO
- An admin area for products and orders, pages structured for Google and sales tracking.
02Which platform to choose
There's no single right platform for everyone. The choice depends on the size of your catalogue, the integrations you need, and who will control the store five years from now.
Our proposal tells you which option we recommend for your case and why, so you don't pay for features you won't use or get stuck on a platform that can't grow with you.
- Open source (e.g. WooCommerce)
- The store and its data are yours, and there's a plugin for almost anything. It needs proper hosting and regular maintenance to stay fast and secure.
- Subscription platforms (e.g. Shopify)
- A quick start and hosting you don't have to think about. You pay a monthly subscription and play by the platform's rules, and some Greek integrations need extra apps.
- Custom build
- The fastest store, built exactly around your needs and tied to your ERP or warehouse. A bigger initial investment that pays off when your catalogue or processes don't fit an off-the-shelf solution.
03What drives the cost of an e-shop
Two e-shops of the same "size" can cost very different amounts. What matters isn't the number of pages but how complex the catalogue is and how many systems need to talk to each other.
The market ranges are shown above. Where your shop lands inside the range depends on the points below, which is why we do not quote a “from” price: tell us a little about the shop and we send a written proposal with exactly what is included.
- Catalogue
- How many products and variants, how many filters, and whether the catalogue is ready or has to be built from scratch.
- Integrations
- ERP or accounting software, couriers, receipt provider, price-comparison sites and marketplaces. Each connection is a piece of work of its own.
- Design
- A design built from scratch around your products, or an adapted ready-made theme.
- Languages & markets
- Selling only in Greece or abroad too: languages, shipping zones, VAT per country.
- Wholesale (B2B)
- Per-customer price lists, minimum quantities and orders on credit.
- Migration from an old store
- Products, customers, orders and redirects, so you keep your Google rankings.
- Content
- Whether product photos and descriptions already exist or need to be created.
04Payments, shipping and VAT in Greece
Greek shoppers expect to pay the way that suits them. Cards go through a bank or payment provider with 3-D Secure authentication, as the EU's PSD2 directive requires. Alongside them you usually need Apple Pay and Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and cash on delivery, which is still popular in Greece.
For shipping, the store connects to the courier companies you use, so the voucher is created from the order and the customer gets a tracking number. Parcel lockers are now a standard option, and remote areas and islands need their own shipping rules.
Consumer prices are shown including VAT. The standard rate is 24%, with reduced rates for certain goods, and every sale needs a receipt reported to myDATA, the Greek tax authority's platform. If you sell to consumers in other EU countries, above the single EU threshold you charge the buyer's country's VAT through OSS. Your accountant always confirms the rates and documents; we set them up correctly in the store.
Finally, the law gives consumers 14 days to withdraw from a distance purchase. The returns policy, your company details (name, VAT number, GEMI number, address) and privacy policy must be easy to find before checkout.
05How long it takes
A build goes through discovery, design, development and testing before launch. The most common bottleneck isn't the code but the content: a catalogue with ready photos and descriptions moves much faster than one created from scratch.
Integrations with your ERP, couriers and receipt provider also need your providers' cooperation, so they start in week one. Your proposal includes a concrete timeline for your store.

What people usually ask
How the quote works
No one-size-fits-all packages. We talk for a few minutes about your business and send you a written proposal with everything included and a timeline. No obligation.
How much does an e-shop cost?
It depends on the catalogue, the integrations (ERP, couriers, receipts), the design and the markets you sell in. We don't quote a "from" price: tell us a little about your store and we'll send a written proposal with everything included, no obligation.
WooCommerce, Shopify or custom?
WooCommerce gives you full control but needs maintenance, Shopify starts fast on a monthly subscription, and custom fits when your needs don't fit an off-the-shelf solution. We recommend what suits your store and explain why.
Are receipts and invoices sent to myDATA automatically?
Yes, as long as the store is connected to your accounting software or an e-invoicing provider. The order creates the document and it's reported to the Greek tax authority.
Can I offer cash on delivery and parcel lockers?
Yes. Cash on delivery, locker pickup and shipping rules for islands and remote areas are set up in checkout, alongside your other payment and shipping options.
Which payment gateways do you support?
We connect the payment gateway that suits you, from a bank or an international provider. We settle it together in the proposal.
Can I manage products and orders myself?
Yes. Products, stock and orders are managed from your own admin area.
I already have an e-shop. Can you move it?
Yes. We move products and content and set up redirects, so you keep your Google rankings.
Will my products show up on Google?
Product pages are built with proper structure and structured data that help Google display them correctly. Nobody serious guarantees a ranking, but the foundation is right from the start.
Do you handle hosting and maintenance?
Yes. We host on EU servers, with updates, backups and uptime monitoring.
