E-commerce & Retail

Online stores, subscription products and headless commerce built for European retailers — multi-currency, multi-language, GDPR-ready.

Stores that load fast, convert visitors and handle European complexity.

Selling online in Europe is harder than it looks — VAT rules per country, multiple currencies, GDPR cookie consent, language preferences and very different payment habits market by market. We build e-commerce stores that handle all of it without making your store team's life harder.

  • Shopify and Shopify Plus stores with custom themes
  • WooCommerce stores on Laravel-grade hosting
  • Magento / Adobe Commerce for larger catalogues
  • Headless commerce (Shopify Hydrogen, Next.js + Shopify API)
  • Multi-currency EUR / GBP / CHF / SEK with auto-VAT
  • GDPR-compliant cookie consent and analytics setup

Why European retailers choose AKTechForce

European e-commerce is more complex than the US — different VAT rates per country, language preferences, distinctive payment methods (iDEAL, Klarna, Bancontact, SEPA) and a strict privacy environment. We've been building stores for European brands for years and know exactly where the friction lives.

Multi-currency & multi-VAT done right

EUR for the eurozone, GBP for UK, CHF for Switzerland, SEK / NOK / DKK for Nordics — automatically. Country-specific VAT rates at checkout, IOSS / OSS-ready invoicing for cross-border sales and clean tax reporting your accountant will actually thank you for.

European payment methods

Cards alone aren't enough in Europe. We wire up iDEAL (Netherlands), Bancontact (Belgium), Klarna (DACH + Nordics), SEPA Direct Debit, SOFORT and Apple/Google Pay — usually via Stripe, Adyen or Mollie depending on your country mix.

GDPR & cookie compliance baked in

Cookiebot, Iubenda or self-hosted consent management; no tracking before consent; GDPR-compliant data flows; and proper Data Processing Agreements with every fulfilment, marketing and analytics provider you connect.

Conversion-rate optimisation

Faster product pages, cleaner mobile checkout, abandoned-cart flows, smart upsells and post-purchase emails. We track every step from add-to-cart to repeat purchase so we know what's working and what to fix.

Common e-commerce projects

New Shopify store launch

Custom theme, product import, payment + shipping setup, multi-currency, EU VAT and abandoned-cart flow. Typically 4–6 weeks to go-live.

WooCommerce / Shopify replatform

Moving from a slow Magento 1 or custom build to Shopify or modern WooCommerce — with 301 redirects, SEO migration plan and zero ranking loss.

Subscription & drop stores

Recurring billing, subscription boxes, limited-drop launches with stock locking, member-only catalogues and Stripe / Recharge integration.

Store speed & SEO audit

Core Web Vitals fix, schema mark-up, category-page SEO, internal-linking strategy and a 90-day content plan to grow organic traffic.

E-commerce FAQs

Shopify is faster to launch, easier to maintain and scales for you — best for most European DTC and retail brands. WooCommerce gives more control and lower per-transaction cost — better for stores with complex pricing rules, B2B portals or heavy customisation. We'll recommend based on your catalogue, team and budget.

Yes. We set up country-specific VAT rates, IOSS-compliant invoicing for sub-€150 cross-border parcels, OSS for B2C sales over €10k and clean tax reports — works with Shopify Tax, Avalara or custom logic on WooCommerce.

Yes — with a proper migration plan. We map every old URL to a new one, set up 301 redirects, keep schema and meta in place, and monitor rankings weekly for 90 days post-launch. Done right, you lose nothing and often gain.

A clean Shopify launch with multi-currency and EU VAT typically lands €4,000–€9,000. Custom WooCommerce or Magento: €8,000–€25,000. Replatform projects and headless commerce: €15,000+. We quote precisely after a short discovery call.
