E-commerce

is booming in Estonia, a small Baltic country known for its digital innovations and services. Almost 98 percent of Estonians aged 16–74 use the internet, as do over 90 percent of the population aged 16–74.

On the other hand, according to a recent survey by SEB Bank, only a quarter of small and medium-sized Estonian businesses use e-commerce for their sales. At this critical time for conservative forms of sales, the Estonian start-up Shopz.com is trying to take advantage of this fact by offering Estonian companies 100 completely “pre-programmed” e-shops and mobile applications completely free of charge.
