Online Store for Independent Shops in Craiova
In Craiova, Saturday belongs to the big commercial centres on the edge of town. Someone walks in for one pair of shoes and leaves with four bags, because everything is on display, with a price on the tag and returns handled without an argument. Your shop carries goods that are just as good, sometimes better, but anyone who never walks down your street has no way of finding that out.
An online store is how you get into a Craiova shopper's phone, with your goods laid out and the price written down. It doesn't ask you to give up the counter; it opens a second door, one that stays open on Sunday too. At MPO Web Studio we build stores for independent traders, and we start by showing you a demo made with your own products.

You compete with polished shop windows in your own city
Shoppers in Craiova have grown used to a certain standard: a tag on every item, a fitting room, a return settled without a quarrel. When that same person lands on a Facebook page where the price sits somewhere in the comments and nothing is said about stock, they quietly move you down a step. Not because your goods are weaker, but because you look harder to buy from. An online store brings you into the same category: photos, a written price, live stock, clear return terms, an order completed in two steps. And it keeps the one thing the chains cannot copy — you know the product and you answer in person.
What stands in for the window display and the shop assistant
Whoever buys from a screen buys from what you show them. That is why we insist on photographs taken of your own goods rather than supplier images, on short descriptions that state the size, the material and what is in the box, and on stock kept genuinely current, so you are never the one calling to cancel. We add the delivery cost calculated inside the order, payment on receipt for people who still won't type a card number, return conditions written so anyone understands them, and a phone number where somebody actually answers. Categories and search are built so a person after a single item reaches it in two taps, and each product gets its own page in Google.
A demo that places you among businesses, not improvisations
Somebody sending money to a shop they have never used looks for the marks of a real business: company details in the footer, terms and conditions, a return policy, an address, a phone number, an invoice after the order. We build those in from the start, so your store never reads like a page thrown up one evening. We begin with a free demo, made from your products, which you open on your own phone before paying anything. If you want changes, one round of revisions is included, and after launch you keep a 7-day warranty. We work remotely from Cluj-Napoca, talk over WhatsApp and put the figure in writing before we start.
Frequently asked questions
I only have photos from my supplier. Is that a problem?+
It is not a blocker, but it doesn't help either: the same images sit on every other seller's site and buyers recognise them. We show you how to take decent photos with your phone, on a plain background, right there in the shop, and we prepare them for the site. At least for your best sellers, a few hours of work pays off.
I already ship parcels with a courier. Will the store work with what I have?+
Yes, we keep the courier you use and the rates you have already negotiated. The delivery cost is calculated inside the order, before the buyer presses the button, and payment on receipt stays if that is what your customers ask for. We don't change how you ship — you simply stop writing out every address by hand.
I want to show up in Google when someone searches for the product and the city. Can that be worked on?+
Yes, it can: every product gets its own page, with its own title and description, and your city and shop address appear correctly so Google understands who you are and what you sell. Results don't arrive overnight and we don't promise a particular position, but a properly built store starts with a serious head start over a Facebook page.
What is included in the price and what is paid separately?+
The price covers building the store, loading the products agreed at the start, connecting payments and delivery, plus one round of revisions once you see the result; after launch you keep a 7-day warranty. Paid separately: the domain and hosting, and photography if you choose to have a professional do it. You get the figure in writing before we begin.
