Online stores in Barcelona
Somia Digital builds online stores for Barcelona brands and retailers, usually with WooCommerce: catalogue, payments, shipping and languages, with training and SEO as agreed in the quote. In the city we built the store for T&A Marketing Olfativo Barcelona. We bring more than 10 years of experience, and since every catalogue is different, each project is quoted individually.
Barcelona · Barcelonès
Barcelona is southern Europe's economic and creative capital: startups, congresses like MWC, retail and a huge market where digital competition is at its peak. We work with Barcelona clients combining on-site meetings with the agility of a close-knit team.
Local context
Selling from Barcelona: to whom, and how far?
Many Barcelona brands sell to two kinds of buyer at once: trade customers (a hotel, a restaurant, a reseller) and consumers. Each expects something different: the first wants price lists, quantities and an invoice with their company details; the second, photos, reviews and quick mobile checkout. A store that mixes both paths without structure confuses everyone. So before designing anything, we decide how catalogue, pricing and checkout are separated.
The other decision is reach. Barcelona welcomes visitors from all over the world who, once home, want to buy again what they discovered here. Selling to other EU countries is technically simple but comes with a tax rule: once distance sales to consumers in other member states exceed €10,000 a year, the buyer's country VAT applies and is declared through the One Stop Shop (OSS). The store has to calculate that correctly.
What it needs
Key pieces of a Barcelona store
Two buying paths
One entrance for trade buyers, with quote requests or volume pricing, and another for consumers with a standard cart.
Spanish, Catalan and English
With carefully translated, reviewed product pages and a separate URL per language, so Google shows each shopper the right version.
A niche before an endless catalogue
Competing with the big marketplaces on price goes nowhere. It works better to explain your own product very well and rank it for specific searches.
VAT and shipping by country
Shipping rates by zone and taxes configured so that, if you pass the OSS threshold one day, the store doesn't need rebuilding.

The store we built in Barcelona
In August 2021 we launched the WooCommerce store for T&A Marketing Olfativo Barcelona, in Spanish, Catalan and English. It sells diffusers and scents to hotels and spas as well as to consumers through its Home line, and the challenge was conveying a scent nobody can smell online: everything rested on the product pages and images.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The price depends not on the city but on the catalogue, languages, integrations and logistics. We prepare it for you as a fixed quote before we start.
Yes. WooCommerce supports customer roles with their own pricing, minimum orders or quote requests instead of prices; we pick the approach closest to how you already work.
Not necessarily. We work from Girona and Palafrugell, and most of the project happens by video call; if the quote includes training, that can be online too.
