Is there a online shopping platform that is EU based? Have you used any or heard of cool related projects?

Also the platform being privacy oriented would be a big plus.

    That sells what?

    Many local shops have their own website, or they may have a shared portal between them. For example, the two nearby bookshops are part of such a portal (that is much larger than those two shops) where I can order any book at the exact same price I would pay it on Amazon (thx to our French law) and then go pick it up at the shop I selected (I suppose I could have delivered too, but I like to go there ;). For computer stuff, here in France we have LDLC.com and a few others (I use LDLC since they also have a few shops nearby). We have stuff like Darty.com or boulanger.com for appliances and small electronics. For art supply, the one I use the most frequently is https://www.geant-beaux-arts.fr/ but we also have quite a few much smaller stores around here, that also have an online store (and they’re great too). The shop where I buy my clothes also has an online presence. And so on ;)

    Also the platform being privacy oriented would be a big plus.

    How would that be? I mean they would still need to collect a lot of personal informations to do business with a customer (bank, address, phone, personal mensurations, preferences,…). So, I wouldn’t count much on that beside GDRP (which is European law, so any shop in the EU is expected to be respecting it).

      More of a hobby crafts store than a big chain.

      Some background, it is a one man operation and even though I have some programming skills I would prefer a platform that just works something like WordPress hosting, but European.
