Overview

Selling Online the Irish Way

Irish ecommerce has its own checkout psychology. Prices in EUR, delivery expectations set by Irish couriers, card and wallet payments Irish shoppers trust — and since Brexit, a whole layer of cross-border complexity for anyone selling UK↔IE. A store built for the UK market with "Ireland" added as a shipping zone leaks orders at every step.

We build stores for the Irish buyer first: Shopify IE or custom builds with EUR as the native currency, Stripe IE for familiar payments, Irish address and Eircode handling, and delivery logic that reflects how An Post and Irish couriers actually work.

And we solve the Brexit problem properly. Selling from Ireland to the UK means customs declarations, duties and UK VAT rules; selling UK to Ireland means IOSS, Irish VAT and returns handling. Our cross-border builds handle duties, taxes and messaging at checkout — so customers see the true landed price and you do not eat surprise costs.

The Brexit layer

Cross-Border Selling, Done Right

Post-Brexit, UK↔IE selling is a tax problem wearing a logistics costume. Irish stores selling into the UK face customs declarations, potential duties and UK VAT registration thresholds. UK stores selling into Ireland face IOSS registration, Irish VAT and returns that cross a customs border twice. Get the checkout wrong and you either absorb costs you cannot afford or surprise customers with fees that kill repeat business.

We build the landed price into the experience. Duties and taxes calculated and displayed at checkout, clear delivery timelines that account for customs, and returns flows that work across the border. The customer sees one honest total in EUR (or GBP where appropriate) — no "plus customs fees on delivery" ambushes. This is the difference between a store that sells cross-border and a store that merely ships cross-border.

Irish checkout details that lift conversion. Beyond the border: EUR as the unquestioned default currency, Irish phone and address formats, Eircode lookup to kill delivery errors, payment options Irish shoppers recognise, and GDPR-compliant marketing consent at signup. Each is small; together they are the difference between a 1% and a 3% conversion rate.

Priced in your currency, scoped in writing. Every store project is quoted per project in EUR with the full scope — platform, design, integrations, products migrated, training — in the proposal. Post-launch, our ecommerce growth work covers SEO, paid media and retention. Related: web development Ireland, SEO Ireland, PPC Ireland and the Ireland hub.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Shopify or a custom store — which is right for Ireland?

Shopify suits most Irish retailers: fast to launch, reliable EUR payments, huge app ecosystem. Custom suits B2B pricing, complex configurators or subscription models Shopify fights against. We build both and will recommend based on your catalogue, not our preference.

How do you handle selling from Ireland to the UK after Brexit?

We configure the store for the reality: customs-ready product data, duties and UK VAT handled at checkout, delivery timelines that account for the border, and returns flows that work both ways. You see the landed cost logic before launch — no surprises.

What is IOSS and do I need it?

The Import One-Stop Shop lets non-EU sellers (including UK businesses) account for EU VAT on low-value goods sold into Ireland and the EU. If you sell UK→IE, you very likely need it. We build IOSS-ready checkout logic and flag the registration step early.

Which payment methods should an Irish store offer?

Cards plus Apple Pay and Google Pay cover the vast majority of Irish online payments, all through Stripe IE with EUR settlement. We will also advise on buy-now-pay-later if your average order value justifies it.

Can you migrate my existing store without losing rankings?

Yes. Product URLs are mapped, redirects are planned and tested, and we keep your google.ie product rankings through the move. Migrations are where ecommerce SEO is won or lost — we treat them accordingly.

What does an Irish ecommerce store cost?

Quoted per project in EUR against a written scope. A focused Shopify build starts in the low thousands of euro; custom and cross-border builds are scoped individually. You approve the figure before we start.
