Online Store for Local Retailers in Bucharest
Your shop sits on a street in Bucharest that the person most likely to buy from you has no reason to ever walk down. They live twenty minutes away by metro or an hour away by car, and when they need something they don't set off across the city to look for it: they type the product name into their phone and order from whoever shows clearly that they have it.
The good part is that you are in the same city as them, and that counts for more than it seems. You can hand the product over today, they can drop by and pick it up, they can look at it before paying — things a warehouse in another county simply cannot promise. What is missing is the place where it says, in writing, that all of this is possible. At MPO Web Studio we build online stores for Bucharest retailers, and you see your mock-up before any payment.

What you have that a warehouse in another county doesn't
A buyer in the capital doesn't only compare prices, they compare waiting. If the product page says the item is on your shelf, that it can leave today with a city courier and that pickup at the counter is an option, you have won an order that a site with no address and nobody behind it cannot match. The same goes for returns: people decide more easily when they know that, if it turns out wrong, there is somewhere to bring the product back to, not just a form to fill in. None of this is self-evident. It has to be written where the decision is made, next to the button, not buried in a terms page nobody opens.
What the page needs so the customer orders on their own
A store that sells doesn't need hundreds of features — it needs nothing that stops the customer halfway. Photos of your own goods, not the supplier's catalogue shots. Stock shown, so nobody orders what has just walked out the door. The full price, with delivery counted before the last step, because that is where most carts are abandoned. Two or three ways to pay, cash on delivery among them, because plenty of people still buy that way the first time. And a cart you can use with one thumb, standing on the metro. At the end, the order reaches you finished — address, phone, chosen items — not as a message you still have to decode.
The same mock-up, in both languages people buy from you in
In Bucharest you also get orders in English: people who moved here for a job, foreign students, your customers' office colleagues. If you sell to them too, an automatic translate button isn't enough — the delivery and return terms are exactly what comes out crooked, and exactly what gets read before ordering. So if you tell us you sell in two languages, we build the free mock-up in both from the start: you open it on your phone, go through it once in Romanian and once in English, and see exactly what each buyer reads. Only then do we talk money. We work remotely from Cluj-Napoca, over WhatsApp; stores start from 690 € and one round of revisions is included. A simple store goes live within days; for a large catalogue we give you the exact deadline in the quote, before we start.
Frequently asked questions
Buyers here want the goods fast. Can same-day delivery in Bucharest be shown as a separate option?+
Yes, and it belongs right under the price, not in a footnote. We list the options you actually offer — a courier across the city, a national courier for the rest of the country, pickup at the shop with your opening hours — each with its own timing and cost. The buyer picks in the cart, and you see the choice in the order.
I already sell on a big marketplace. What does a store of my own add?+
On a platform you are one line in a list where dozens sell the same thing, and a commission leaves with every sale. Your own store is where the customer remembers your name, where you can sell what doesn't fit the platform's rules, and where nobody rewrites the terms overnight. They aren't mutually exclusive: most retailers keep both.
Will orders reach me on my phone while I'm serving customers in the shop?+
Yes. Every order arrives by email and can also come as a message, so you see it between two customers without sitting down at a computer. The orders page carries the address, the phone number and the items chosen, and if you have someone in the stockroom or out on deliveries, we set up a separate account for them.
I want to start with a single product category. What does the price look like if I add the rest in a few months?+
The price follows what we build now, not how much stock you keep. A small store with one category and few pages starts from 690 €, and whatever you add later sits on top of what exists, without rebuilding anything from scratch. We give you the figure in writing before we start.
