Online store development

A web shop for a Montenegrin business, from €690. Set up for how people actually buy here — card through a local bank, bank transfer and cash on delivery — with delivery through couriers that drive in Montenegro and an invoice that does not cross a border.

Why a local build for a store

Search for an online store build in Montenegro and Google returns almost only Serbian and Croatian sites. They know the work, but a store is not judged on design — it is judged on whether payment and delivery function, and those are set up with a local bank and a local courier.

Payment that actually works here

Card payment through a Montenegrin bank, bank transfer, and cash on delivery. Foreign proposals usually skip cash on delivery, and here it still accounts for a large share of orders.

Delivery through Montenegrin couriers

Delivery pricing and zones are set for the couriers that actually drive here, rather than inherited from a template written for another market.

A Montenegrin invoice and contract

You pay a local company, you get a local invoice, and there is no cross-border payment or a contractor in another country when something breaks.

What €690 includes

  • Store build with a product catalogue and categories
  • Payment setup — card, bank transfer, cash on delivery
  • Delivery setup with zones and pricing
  • An admin panel where you add products yourself
  • Baseline SEO — titles, descriptions, sitemap, URL structure
  • A design preview before any contract

For comparison: Serbian web shop offers start around €500 and Croatian ones around €1,500. Ours sits between the two, with local payment and a local invoice.

How the build runs

A store takes longer than a presentation site for one reason: money has to move through the system before it goes live. Everything else is familiar work.

  1. Catalogue and structure

    We go through what you sell, how many products there are, how they split into categories and what separates the variants — size, colour, packaging. This step depends on you most, because product data has to exist somewhere before it can be entered.

  2. Design and the product page

    A preview of the home page and one product page before any contract. In a store the product page matters more than the home page — that is where the decision happens, and the usual mistake is that image, price and button do not fit one phone screen.

  3. Payment and delivery

    Connecting your bank for card payment, setting up transfer and cash on delivery, then delivery zones and pricing. This step sets the timeline, because banks have their own procedure and it does not speed up.

  4. Testing and launch

    We run real orders through the system — payment, confirmation, the email to the buyer, the record. Only when that passes every time does the store go live.

Common questions

How much does an online store cost?

From €690. That covers the build, the product catalogue, payment and delivery setup, and a basic SEO configuration. Domain and hosting are paid directly to the provider, typically €10–20 and €30–100 a year.

Which payment methods work in Montenegro?

Card payment through a Montenegrin bank, bank transfer, and cash on delivery, which is still how a large share of orders here are paid. We set up what your bank actually supports rather than assuming.

How long does it take?

Longer than a presentation site — usually four to six weeks, because payment and delivery integrations have to be tested with real transactions before launch.

Can I add products myself?

Yes. You get an admin panel and the account stays in your name. If you would rather not, maintenance is €39 a month.

Common questions about online stores

How much does a website cost in Montenegro?

A website starts at €390 here. The Montenegrin market runs from €150 offers — almost always a bought WordPress or Wix theme — up to business platforms over €3,000. The difference is not the page count but whether the design was made for you and whether anyone maintains the site when something breaks.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO starts at €290. The market runs monthly packages from €200 to €2,000 and one-off audits from €199 up. SEO is a separate service because it runs for months after the site is handed over, rather than being done once during the build.

What is the price of web design and what does it include?

Web design is €390 and covers a design made for you, up to five pages, built for the phone, with basic SEO set-up and a speed measurement before handover. You see the design before signing anything.

What is not included in the price?

Domain and hosting. You pay those directly to the provider, typically €10–20 a year for a domain and €30–100 a year for hosting. We do not mark up someone else’s service, and the site stays on your own account.

Does the price change during the work?

No. The figure is agreed before work starts and is not revised afterwards. If you ask for something during the work that was not in the agreement, you get a price for it first and decide then.

How much does maintenance cost?

Maintenance is €39 a month and covers updates, security patches, backups and small text and image changes. It is not compulsory — the site runs without it — but it is the difference between a site someone looks after and a site waiting to break.

How do you set up an online store in Montenegro?

You need a product catalogue, a way to pay and a way to deliver. An online store starts at €690 here and includes a catalogue with categories and search, card payment through a local bank, cash on delivery, and a delivery integration.

Can the store take cards in Montenegro?

Yes. Card payment runs through an agreement with a local bank, and we connect the store to their system. You sign the bank agreement yourself, because the money goes to your account.

How many products can the store hold?

There is no practical limit. Stores with several thousand items run as fast as ones with fifty, because product pages are built in advance rather than at the moment someone opens them.
