Online shops in Malta: on Shopify or WooCommerce

We build online stores that are easy to run and easy to buy from, with card payments in euro, delivery across Malta and Gozo, and a back office you manage yourself.

Shopify or WooCommerce: which is better for a Maltese shop?

Shopify if you want to sell quickly and not think about hosting or updates. WooCommerce if you need custom features, want full control, or already have a WordPress site. Both take card payments in euro and handle delivery across Malta and Gozo.

Can I take card payments in euro?

Yes. Shopify Payments is available to businesses in Malta, and both platforms work with providers such as Stripe and PayPal. We set up whichever suits your bank and your fees.

How do I handle delivery within Malta and to the EU?

We set up delivery zones and rates for Malta, Gozo and abroad, plus click and collect if you have a shop. Customers see the delivery cost before they pay, which is one of the biggest reasons people finish a checkout.

Can AI handle my shop's customer questions?

It can take the repetitive ones, like where an order is or how returns work, and pass the rest to you. See our AI agents service.

Can I get a grant for my online shop?

It can qualify. Malta Enterprise’s Micro Invest scheme gives tax credits on eligible business investments, and an online shop can be one. Check the current rules with Malta Enterprise; we give you the quote and invoices you need.

Who adds the products?

You or us. We can load your catalogue from a spreadsheet at the start and show you how to add and edit products yourself afterwards.

Can you move my existing shop to a new platform?

Yes. We move your products and redirect the old addresses so you keep your Google rankings. Customer and order history can usually come across too; we check what your current platform allows first.
