Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
Depends on scope: SKU count, catalog complexity, number of languages (UK/EN/RO), currencies, integrations with Nova Poshta, LiqPay, 1C, RetailCRM, custom design, and B2B features. I don't sell "package 1-2-3": after the brief I give an honest range, phases, and a fixed price for the first sprint. General methodology — at /services/ecommerce.
It depends on the case. Next.js plus headless commerce — when you need unique UX, high speed, and non-standard business rules (for example, age gating for wine or private B2B prices). Shopify — a fast start for a DTC brand with 50-500 SKUs and a typical workflow. WooCommerce — when there's an existing WordPress ecosystem and a budget constraint. I don't "sell one platform" — I pick for your task.
Via official APIs: warehouses (with autocomplete), address delivery, parcel lockers, cost calculation, waybill printing, tracking with webhooks. For export to Romania and Moldova — Nova Poshta International and Ukrposhta Express. All of it is in the base setup, not "optional for an extra fee."
LiqPay, Fondy, WayForPay, Portmone — for Ukrainian buyers, with Apple Pay/Google Pay and card tokenization. Stripe — for buyers from Romania, Moldova, the EU. I support partial payments, pre-orders, subscriptions (for example, a wine club), and multi-currency UAH/EUR/RON. All transactions are logged and reconciled with 1C/BAS accounting.
Two-way sync: products, stock, prices, discounts, orders, statuses, invoices. I do the integration via official APIs or an exchange file, depending on the version and configuration. The manager doesn't re-enter orders manually — this is a fundamental saving of time and a removed point of error. I also support Bitrix24 and RetailCRM for the sales team.
Yes. It's a baseline scenario for Chernivtsi due to proximity to Romania and Moldova. Localization — not Google Translate but separate text fields in the CMS, separate URLs per language (/uk, /en, /ro), correct hreflang, UAH/EUR/RON multi-currency, localized legal pages. Details — at /locations/chernivtsi/web-development.
Cards are never stored on our server — I use tokenization via the gateway (LiqPay, Fondy, Stripe). That removes most PCI DSS requirements from your side. Additionally: HTTPS-only, HSTS, CSRF/XSS protection, API rate limiting, suspicious transaction monitoring, database backups. For B2B cabinets — two-factor authentication.
Targets: LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1 on 4G. Achieved via SSR/ISR, image optimization (next/image, AVIF/WebP), CDN, code-splitting, and minimal third-party scripts. For mobile buyers this is critical: a slow store equals lost orders, especially in the tourist segment where a buyer decides to "grab a souvenir" while walking down Kobylianska.
Yes, it's a strong niche of the Chernivtsi region. I implement age verification (a gate before the catalog), DTC delivery in cases of 6/12 bottles, pre-orders for new harvests, subscription wine clubs, multilingual descriptions of varieties and Bukovyna's terroir. We often add tasting bookings with a calendar and reminders.
Food — craft Bukovynian products, honey, cheeses, smoked goods, gift sets. I add curation by occasion (for a holiday, as a gift), multi-currency for tourists, express delivery. Tourism — vouchers for tastings, tours from the Residence to Turkish Square, bookings with online payment, integration with guides as partners through a separate B2B cabinet.
Yes — it's a natural scenario for Chernivtsi given the border location. I combine multilingual UK/EN/RO, multi-currency UAH/EUR/RON, Stripe for EU cards, Nova Poshta International for delivery, and localized legal pages (terms, returns, GDPR). Customs nuances and certification are a separate workstream — there I recommend specialized lawyers and logistics partners in the region.
Fill in the form or write to me directly — I read every inquiry myself. Then a 30-minute call about your business, goals, budget, deadlines. Within 3-5 days I come back with a proposal: scope, phases, price, risks. Offline meetings — in Chernivtsi on Kobylianska or at the Chernivtsi IT Cluster coworking, online — anytime. Related services — /services/ecommerce and /locations/chernivtsi/web-development.

E-commerce in Chernivtsi — Oleksandr Filyuk, Next.js, Shopify
E-commerce in Chernivtsi
Chernivtsi — a city of around 265 thousand residents, the center of Bukovyna, a border hub with Romania and Moldova. The UNESCO Residence of Bukovinian Metropolitans at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Austro-Hungarian architecture of Kobylianska and Turkish Square, an active Bukovynian winemaking scene, and a strong tourist flow make the region one of the most promising for e-commerce in Ukraine. I'm Oleksandr Filyuk. 15+ years and 130+ launched projects. I run online stores as products, not as "boxes," and I lead them personally from brief through the first 90 days after release.
What Makes E-commerce in Chernivtsi Specific
Chernivtsi e-commerce lives at the intersection of three scenarios. First — domestic Ukraine: buyers from Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa order Bukovynian winery wine, food sets, souvenirs, and craft goods. Second — cross-border: Romanian-speaking buyers from the Chernivtsi region, northern Romania, and Moldova who want a localized UX and payments in EUR/RON. Third — tourist: a guest in the city walks into a store on Soborna, scans a QR code, and completes the order from a phone with delivery to the hotel or back home.
I bake all three scenarios into the architecture from day one: trilingual UK/EN/RO, multi-currency UAH/EUR/RON, integrations with Nova Poshta (domestic and International), Ukrposhta Express, LiqPay, and Stripe, mobile speed as a priority.
Platforms: Next.js, Shopify, WooCommerce — Which One
Next.js + headless commerce (for example, with Strapi or Medusa) — when you need unique UX, non-standard business rules (age verification for wine, a B2B cabinet with private pricing for hotels and restaurants, complex promos), high speed, and full control of the frontend. This is the path for brands that want to scale and not be limited by a platform.
Shopify — a fast start for a DTC brand with 50-500 SKUs and a typical workflow. Suits mid-size wineries, food brands, and startups. Saves 2-3 months of launch but has limits on non-standard B2B scenarios and deep 1C integration.
WooCommerce — when there's already WordPress, a tight budget, and a simple catalog. Works, but requires careful plugin selection and regular security updates.
I don't "sell one platform." At the brief I honestly lay out the pros and cons of each path for your case and give an argued recommendation.
Integrations: Delivery, Payments, Accounting
Delivery. Nova Poshta (warehouses with autocomplete, address delivery, parcel lockers, cost calculation, waybill printing, tracking via webhooks), Nova Poshta International for export to Romania and Moldova, Ukrposhta Express. For the tourist segment — pickup near Central Square or the Depot/Maidan malls.
Payments. LiqPay, Fondy, WayForPay, Portmone for Ukrainian buyers, with Apple Pay/Google Pay and card tokenization. Stripe — for EU, Moldovan, and Romanian buyers. I support partial payments, pre-orders, subscriptions (wine club, food box sets), and UAH/EUR/RON multi-currency.
Accounting. Two-way sync with 1C, BAS, RetailCRM, Bitrix24. Products, stock, prices, discounts, orders, statuses, invoices — all automated, the manager doesn't duplicate data manually.
Typical E-commerce Cases in Chernivtsi
Bukovynian winery store. Catalog of varieties with terroir descriptions, age verification before the catalog, DTC delivery in cases of 6/12 bottles, pre-orders for new harvests, subscription wine club, tasting bookings. Multilingual UK/EN/RO for tourists, multi-currency for cross-border buyers.
Food DTC brand. Craft Bukovynian products — honey, cheeses, smoked goods, gift sets. Curation by occasion (for a holiday, as a gift), personalized inserts, express delivery within the city and Nova Poshta across Ukraine.
Tourist service. Vouchers for tastings, tours of "Residence — Kobylianska — Turkish Square," bookings with online payment, integration with guides through a B2B cabinet.
B2B catalog for light industry. Private pricing for dealers, personal cabinet, 1C/BAS integration, export to Moldova and Romania via Nova Poshta International.
Speed, Security, SEO
Target Core Web Vitals: LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1 on real 4G. This is not a "nice bonus" but a conversion factor — especially for tourists and mobile buyers. Security: card tokenization via the gateway (PCI DSS on the provider's side), HTTPS-only, HSTS, CSRF/XSS protection, rate limiting, suspicious transaction monitoring, backups. SEO — SSR/ISR, schema.org (Product, Offer, Review), correct hreflang, local landing pages for Chernivtsi and districts (Shevchenkivskyi, Pershotravnevyi).
