Shopify agency for brands selling in Peru
Shopify stores for Peruvian brands, with Yape and Plin at checkout, electronic invoicing, nationwide delivery and products that also sell well abroad.
Shopify experts for Peru brands
Peru’s eCommerce market has grown quickly, driven by mobile wallets such as Yape and Plin that made digital payments normal for millions of people. Shoppers buy fashion, electronics and food online and compare offers on Falabella, Ripley and Mercado Libre. Peru also has products with global appeal: alpaca and Pima cotton clothing, coffee, cacao, superfoods like quinoa and maca, and silver jewellery, giving local brands a route to export customers as well as domestic ones.
BOOST STAR Experts builds and grows Shopify stores for Peruvian brands and for international brands entering Peru. We connect local payment gateways, electronic invoicing apps, couriers that reach Lima and the provinces, and Spanish storefronts with English versions for export. Then we work on SEO, Meta and Google campaigns and conversion improvements tuned to how Peruvians shop on their phones.
Selling online in Peru: what your store needs
Yape, Plin, cards and cash codes
Yape and Plin, the mobile wallets linked to Peruvian banks, are used daily by millions, and cards matter for larger purchases, sometimes in instalments. PagoEfectivo lets customers pay with a code at agents or online banking. Gateways such as Niubiz, Izipay, Culqi and Mercado Pago connect these options to Shopify stores operating in Peru.
IGV, SUNAT and the complaints book
Sales tax (IGV) is 18% including the municipal component, and businesses issue electronic receipts (boletas) and invoices (facturas) through SUNAT’s system. Online stores must provide a virtual Libro de Reclamaciones, the official complaints book, and follow the personal data protection law, which requires consent and a privacy policy.
Lima and the provinces
Lima receives the fastest deliveries, often same or next day, while orders to the provinces travel with couriers such as Olva Courier or bus-based agencies like Shalom, where customers collect from an agency office. Serpost covers remote areas. Showing delivery time and cost by department at checkout reduces confusion and abandoned carts.
Marketplaces, social and export appeal
Falabella, Ripley, Plaza Vea and Mercado Libre shape price expectations, and many brands sell through Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. A brand store wins with clear sizing, real photos and fast replies. For export, alpaca, Pima cotton, coffee and superfoods sell well to North America and Europe when product pages explain origin and quality.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Shopify store in Peru accept Yape and Plin?
Yes, through local gateways. Providers such as Izipay, Culqi and Niubiz offer Yape and other wallets alongside cards, depending on your contract. We compare their options and fees with you, set up the gateway and test payments on mobile, where most Peruvian shoppers check out.
How do you handle SUNAT electronic invoicing?
We connect an electronic invoicing app or your existing provider, which issues boletas or facturas automatically when an order is paid. Customers choose the document type and enter their DNI or RUC at checkout. Your accountant confirms the tax settings; we make sure the store passes the right data.
Do we need a Libro de Reclamaciones on our store?
Yes. Peruvian consumer law requires online stores to offer a virtual complaints book. We add a compliant form, link it clearly in the footer and set up automatic copies to you and the customer, so you can respond within the legal deadline.
Can we sell alpaca or superfood products abroad?
Yes. We add English and international currencies with Shopify Markets, set up export shipping and build product pages that explain fibre, origin and certifications. Food products must meet the destination’s import rules, which we check with you before enabling each market.
How do you manage the time difference with Peru?
We are 10.5 hours ahead, so calls happen early in your day and most work happens during your night. A shared board shows every task and staging previews are ready each morning. We work remotely from India and have no office in Peru.
