Online store development in Pärnu: sales that outlast the season
In summer, customers walk into your Pärnu shop, workshop or farm stall. In autumn they go home, and the only way to keep selling to them is an online store that ships across Estonia.

Why a Pärnu business needs an online store
Much of Pärnu’s retail depends on the summer flow of visitors: local food, cosmetics, handmade goods, clothing, beach and sports gear. Visitors from other Estonian towns who discover a product at the resort are often happy to keep ordering it — if there is somewhere to order from.
An online store smooths out seasonality. In summer it acts as a shop window and a way to order ahead; in winter it becomes the main sales channel. A card with the store address handed out at the till helps summer customers find it later.
What the online store includes
- a catalogue with categories, filters and product variants;
- a cart and checkout designed for phones;
- Montonio payments: bank links for Estonian banks and card payments;
- delivery to an Omniva, DPD or SmartPosti parcel locker;
- orders in the admin panel with notifications to Telegram and email;
- the catalogue in Estonian, Russian and English;
- templates for legal pages: terms of sale, returns, privacy.
The summer customer and the winter customer
| Summer customer | Winter customer | |
|---|---|---|
| Where they are | In Pärnu, near you | At home, in another town |
| What they do on the site | Browse the range, order for their visit | Order for delivery |
| What matters to them | Stock and opening hours | Payment, delivery time, return terms |
Payments and delivery
Montonio is built into the platform: customers pay through their bank or by card and choose delivery in the same step — an Omniva, DPD or SmartPosti parcel locker. If you need another payment provider such as Maksekeskus or Stripe, integrating it is separate development within the project.
What the studio needs from you
- a product list with prices, variants and stock — a spreadsheet is fine;
- product photos, or an agreement on who will take them;
- delivery and return terms you are ready to honour;
- a Montonio contract in your company’s name — the studio helps connect it.
How the work runs from Pärnu
The studio is based in Narva and works with Pärnu clients remotely and in writing, in English, Estonian or Russian. The cost depends on catalogue size and integrations and is fixed in the contract before work starts. After launch, you manage products, prices and stock yourself in the admin panel.
Pricing
The cost depends on the scope
Starting prices are shown on each service page and on the Pricing page. The exact cost depends on the scope — languages, sections, payments, booking — and is worked out for the task and fixed in the quote and the contract before work starts.
Describe the task
What the site has to do, who it is for and what takes up your time today. A reply comes within 24 hours — with clarifying questions or a preliminary estimate of cost and timing.
Quote and deadline in the contract
What is included, for how much and by when is fixed before the work starts. The price does not grow along the way: new large sections are priced separately and in advance, not on the invoice.
Monthly maintenance
Hosting, certificate, platform and security updates, backups and small edits — a separate monthly line in the quote. Domain renewal is paid to the registrar unless the contract says otherwise. If you decide to leave, you take the content as an archive and the domain, which is registered in your name.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it make sense to launch before winter rather than before summer?
Yes, if off-season sales are the store’s main job. Launching earlier lets it collect its first customers in summer, who then come back in winter.
Can we sell products and take bookings on the same site?
Yes. The catalogue, cart and online booking run on one platform, so spa treatments and gift sets, for example, can sit on the same site.
Who signs the contract with Montonio?
Your company does, and payments go straight to you. The studio connects it to the store and tests payments and delivery before launch.
How much does an online store cost?
The starting price for an online store is shown at the top of this page and on the Pricing page. The exact price depends on the catalogue size, the number of languages and the integrations; it is calculated for your task and fixed in the quote and contract.
