More About Shoptet
14 years ago our founders wanted to fulfill a simple dream - to start an e-shop. But they found that there was no simple solution on the market. So Shoptet was created with a mission to help people do business online. We grew slowly and our biggest boom came in 2020 when many merchants were forced to move online due to the pandemic. We have 250+ employees across three countries, countless success stories, and most importantly over 38,000 clients whose entrepreneurial spirit keeps us going.
