Opening a shop in Latvia is simple once you handle a few local essentials. Here is a checklist that keeps the launch smooth.
01
Payments and delivery
Offer bank links from Latvian banks plus cards. Locals expect both.
Integrate parcel lockers, the default delivery choice in Latvia.
02
Legal and tax
Show your company details, terms, returns policy and a GDPR privacy notice.
Standard VAT in Latvia is 21 percent. State whether prices include it.
03
First products
Start with your best-selling items, clear photos and short descriptions.
Add the rest once the store is live and orders start coming in.
