Selling to Poles in the UK isn't exporting. It's local retail.

Polish grocery, furniture and cosmetics businesses across the UK want to sell online. Global platforms don't make that easy: a fee for every plugin, product limits, and terms written for someone else's market.

Milio flips that logic. Your store runs where your customers live — in pounds, with the payment methods they expect and UK VAT — while the engineering behind it comes from Kraków. One team, one system, no plugin roulette.

The numbers

Built in Poland. That's a feature.

Let's be honest: Britain wrote the book on retail, and we're not here to lecture anyone. But the country your store is engineered in is quietly having its moment — one of Europe's fastest-growing economies, with a technology sector that is a genuine engine of that boom. Forecasters expect Polish purchasing power to overtake Japan's around 2026 and to close most of its gap to the UK by 2030.

The Milio platform

One system. Many brands, languages and markets.

Everything your market requires

A store, not an IT project

We don't hand you a licence and a to-do list. You get a store configured for the market you actually sell in:

Pounds sterling and the payment methods UK customers expect

UK VAT rates and invoicing configured in the store

English and Polish storefronts, with no platform fee per language

Info pages, terms, returns handling and technical SEO included

Track record

We build stores that stay

Two ways to pay

Start with one brand. Scale when the sales come.

From first call to first sale in five steps

You see the demo before you sign, and you accept and pay for each stage separately. No surprises halfway through.

01

Step 1

The call — your products and your market

 A short conversation about what you sell and where you're based. That's all we need to prepare a quote.
02

Step 2

Demo — before you sign anything

 We show you the working platform with a few of your products and your branding. You judge a real store, not a slide deck.
03

Step 3

Contract — and a 30/50/20 schedule

 30% up front, 50% on stage acceptance, 20% at launch. You have 5 working days to review each stage.
04

Step 4

Build — 2–3 weeks

 Catalogue import, translations, payments, VAT and delivery setup. Counted from proposal acceptance and delivery of materials.
05

Step 5

Launch — and ongoing care

 The store goes live. We look after hosting, security and backups — you sell and add brands.

Already on Shopify or WooCommerce?

We'll move your catalogue, content and configuration to Milio without pausing your sales. Before you decide, you'll see a demo with your own products — and you can price up whether one coherent system beats a growing stack of plugins and fees.

A demo with your products before any decision

One system instead of a dozen extensions

Clear ownership: code up front, or a buy-out after 12 months

FAQ

Got a different question? Ask it in the form below — we answer in English or Polish.
The starter package — one brand, one supplier, a store ready to sell — is 10,965 zł net (≈ £2,200) in the monthly-care model, plus 1,500 zł per month (≈ £300). The no-subscription variant is a one-off from 28,965 zł net (≈ £5,750) — the build plus the equivalent of 12 monthly fees, i.e. what reaching the buy-out costs in the care model. Growing to four brands comes to roughly 35,190 zł net in total. Extra work is quoted before we do it, at 260 zł (≈ £52) per hour. We bill in Polish złoty; pound figures are approximate.
The first brand goes live about 2–3 weeks after you accept the proposal, pay the deposit and hand over access, product files and content.
Your data and content are yours from day one. In the no-subscription variant you also receive the code. In the care model the first year works like a lease — after 12 months you can buy the platform out (the equivalent of 12 monthly fees, paid one-off or as an extra year of service) and move the store to any team or hosting you choose.
You see a working demo — including one with your products — before any contract is signed. Every stage is accepted and paid separately, and each accepted stage leaves you with a finished piece of the build. If we part ways, we hand over the agreed data, content and project materials.
Any you need. Pounds sterling first, more currencies when you expand; local payment methods and VAT rates are configured per market. Adding a language version carries no platform fee — you pay for preparing the content in that language, and AI keeps that cost down.
We start with a technical audit of your suppliers (API, XML feed, WooCommerce or Shopify export, FTP). Importing the first supplier's catalogue is included, with no product limit. Suppliers ship directly from Poland and tracking numbers land on the order. Since Brexit, parcels from the EU to the UK involve customs declarations — shipping and customs arrangements are exactly what we confirm per supplier during the audit, before you commit. Stock sync and full order automation are quoted after the audit.
UK VAT rates and invoicing are configured in the store, and the platform is UK GDPR compliant. Your tax model and accounting stay with your company.
The real question is what your current platform costs you in plugins, fees and limits. We move your catalogue and content, and before you decide you'll see a demo with your own products — so you can compare both stores side by side.
