Shopify agency for brands selling in Greece
Shopify stores for Greek shoppers and for Greek producers selling abroad: instalment-friendly checkout, island-ready shipping, Skroutz listings and a proper Greek storefront.
Shopify experts for Greece brands
Greek online shopping has grown quickly over the past decade, and card use is now routine. Even so, buyers still expect cash on delivery as an option and like to split larger purchases into interest-free card instalments. Skroutz is where many shoppers start, comparing prices across stores before choosing one. Delivery has to work for the mainland and for dozens of inhabited islands, each with different costs and timings.
BOOST STAR Experts builds and grows Shopify stores for Greek brands selling at home and for producers of olive oil, honey, natural skincare and fashion who want to reach buyers in the EU and beyond. We set up Greek payment gateways, courier integrations and product feeds, then work on Greek and English SEO, paid campaigns and conversion improvements, reporting each month on orders and revenue.
Selling online in Greece: what your store needs
Cards, instalments and cash on delivery
Greek shoppers pay mostly by card, and many expect to split larger orders into interest-free monthly instalments. Cash on delivery remains popular, especially outside Athens. Local gateways such as Viva, Cardlink and Everypay handle cards and instalments, while IRIS instant bank payments, PayPal and Apple Pay add further choice at checkout.
VAT, myDATA and Greek consumer law
The standard Greek VAT rate is 24%, with reduced rates of 13% and 6% for items such as some foods, books and medicines. Greek businesses report invoices and receipts to the tax authority’s myDATA platform, so your order data needs to reach your accounting system cleanly. GDPR and a 14-day withdrawal period also apply.
Mainland couriers and island delivery
ACS, Geniki Taxydromiki, Speedex and ELTA Courier handle most domestic parcels, and BOX NOW lockers have become a popular pickup option. Delivery to islands and remote areas often takes an extra day or two and may carry a surcharge. We set shipping rules by postcode so customers see accurate costs and timings.
Skroutz and Greek-language trust
Skroutz combines price comparison and a marketplace and drives a large share of Greek online purchases. Stores need clean product feeds, competitive pricing and good ratings to stand out there. A Greek storefront with clear returns and contact details builds trust, while English pages help with tourists and buyers abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can Greek shoppers pay in instalments on Shopify?
Yes, through a Greek payment gateway that supports card instalments, such as Viva or Cardlink-connected providers. We configure the number of instalments by order value, show the option on product pages and test it end to end, since many shoppers decide based on whether they can split the payment.
Is cash on delivery still worth offering in Greece?
In most Greek stores, yes, because a noticeable share of shoppers still prefer it. We set it up with a small fee if you wish, limit it to areas your courier supports and add confirmation steps to reduce refused parcels, which are the main cost of offering it.
Can you connect our Shopify store to Skroutz?
Yes. We generate a product feed in the format Skroutz requires, map categories and attributes, and keep prices and stock in sync. If you sell through the Skroutz marketplace as well, we set up order handling so those orders flow into your fulfilment process.
How do you handle shipping to the Greek islands?
We create shipping rates by postcode or region, so island and remote-area orders show the correct price and delivery time. Product pages and checkout explain the difference clearly, which avoids complaints and cancelled orders after purchase. Couriers that serve particular islands better can be offered as alternatives.
How closely do your hours match Greek working hours?
Greece is only two and a half to three and a half hours behind India, so we share most of your morning and early afternoon. Calls are easy to schedule, and many changes requested in the morning are finished the same day.
