Overview
You want to build an online shop that sells from day one — not a half-finished project you spend months stitching together. You need a system that handles orders, payments, shipping and tax cleanly while covering the mandatory information for the German market.

Rhein Code builds exactly these sales-ready online shops for retailers in Germany — at a clear fixed price, without the typical agency overkill of endless workshops and inflated invoices. We deliver a shop that loads fast, works on every device and that you can maintain yourself after launch.
Whether you are digitising an existing range, moving off a marketplace to your own shop, or selling online for the first time, we set up the entire sales process. And you talk directly to the developer — no hotline, no middle manager.
Sound familiar?
- Ready-made templates look like a thousand other shops
- Setting up payment, shipping labels and tax rates correctly is a lot of work
- GDPR, cookie banner and legal texts are a risk if missing
Your checkout
A checkout the way German customers expect it
People shopping online in Germany look for their usual payment method first: PayPal, Klarna or paying by invoice. If it is missing, many abandon the purchase. We set up the whole checkout – payment methods, shipping with tracking and the mandatory information, right down to the “order with obligation to pay” button that German law requires.
What we build for your shop
- Shopify or WooCommerce — set up to fit your product range
- Payment: Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay, SEPA
- Shipping: DHL/Hermes labels, tracking
- Legally safe: cookie banner, privacy, withdrawal, terms
- SEO basics so products get found
From our work · Vesty

Online Shops
What your website or solution delivers
The full sales process set up
From cart to checkout to order confirmation, we configure the whole purchase flow. Customers buy in a few steps and you receive clean order data.
All common payment methods
We connect PayPal, card, Klarna, pay-by-invoice and SEPA through providers like Stripe or Mollie. Every customer finds the method they are used to.
Shipping, tax and invoices automated
Shipping zones, VAT and automatic invoice PDFs are configured GDPR- and EU-compliant. Tracking via DHL, DPD or GLS can be added.
Product management without code
In the back office you manage products, variants, stock and promotions yourself. You do not need a developer to keep the shop up to date.
Performance and SEO foundation
We build fast, mobile-optimised pages with clean product markup. These are the technical prerequisites to be found at all on Google and in AI answers.
GDPR, accessibility and legal texts
Cookie banner, privacy policy, withdrawal notice and accessible operation are part of the build. You launch on solid legal footing and avoid common pitfalls.
Multilingual shop possible
On request we set the shop up in German and English. That opens international markets without running a second shop.
Scales as you grow
The shop is built so twenty items can become a thousand. Extensions like subscriptions, vouchers or customer accounts can be added later.
Examples
Typical scenarios
Example 1/4
A retailer wanting off Amazon & co.
A seller pays high marketplace fees and has no access to customer data. We build an own shop that wins back margin and the customer relationship.
Example 2/4
A brick-and-mortar shop going online
A local store wants to offer its range online too. We connect stock, shipping and invoicing so online and in-store selling run side by side.
Example 3/4
A growing brand with a larger range
A seller with several hundred items needs filters, variants and fast search. We build a shop that stays clear even with a large catalog.
Example 4/4
A seller going international
A brand wants to sell beyond Germany to customers across the EU. We set up multilingual content, currencies and suitable shipping.
Rhein Code
Why Rhein Code for Online Shops
Fixed price from 1,499 € net
You get a clear price before the project starts instead of an open hourly bill. That makes the investment predictable, especially for SMEs.
Sales-ready, not a building site
We hand over a shop that can actually sell — working checkout, payment and shipping. Not a half-built shell you have to finish yourself.
No lock-in
The shop and its data are yours, with no binding agency contract. Moving or expanding is possible at any time.
Direct developer contact
You talk to the person who builds and supports the shop. That removes friction and makes changes fast.
GDPR and EU servers
Customer data lives on EU servers and the shop is set up to be privacy-compliant. In German e-commerce that is both a requirement and a trust advantage.
Two languages from one team
We advise and build in German and English. You need no separate provider for international customers.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to have an online shop built?
An online shop at Rhein Code starts at 1,499 € net (plus 19% VAT) as a fixed price. The final price depends on range size, payment methods and extra features, but it is fixed in advance.
How long does it take to build?
A sales-ready standard shop is usually done in two to five weeks. The decisive factor is how quickly you provide product data, images and copy.
Which shop system do you use?
We pick the system to fit your project — from lean solutions to established shop platforms. Your requirements drive the choice, not a standard product we sell to everyone.
Can I maintain the shop myself after launch?
Yes. You manage products, prices, stock and orders in the back office without coding skills. On request you get a short handover walkthrough.
Are the cookie banner and legal texts included?
Yes. Cookie banner, privacy policy, withdrawal notice, required notices and EU servers are part of the build. That lets you launch on solid legal footing in German e-commerce.
Can the shop be multilingual?
Yes. On request we set the shop up in German and English, including translatable products and checkout. That opens international customers to you.
Will my shop be found on Google?
We deliver the technical SEO foundation: fast pages, clean product data and structured markup. Visibility then grows with content and time — we give no ranking guarantees.
What about ongoing maintenance?
You can maintain the shop yourself, or we handle updates and support optionally at clear terms. There is no obligation to a maintenance contract.
