Your store is set up for Romania
When you choose Romania at sign-up, Omniterra sets your currency to RON, your time zone to Europe/Bucharest and your storefront language to Romanian. Everything can be changed later.
Taxes
21% VAT is preset, and prices include tax, as shoppers in Romania expect. You can change the rate and the tax display at any time.
Romania is in the EU: business customers can enter a VAT number at checkout, and reverse charge applies to cross-border B2B sales where the rules allow it.
Payments
Cash on delivery is a common way to pay in Romania, so it is switched on by default — with optional COD fees, order limits, regions where it is not offered, a “Refused on delivery” status and COD Guard, which scores every COD order for risk.
Card payments work through your own Stripe or PayPal account where they are available, with card fields, Apple Pay and Google Pay directly in your checkout. Bank transfer is built in, and there is no commission from us on any sale.
Shipping and couriers
Couriers commonly used in Romania are ready in your admin — Sameday, FAN Courier, Cargus, DPD, GLS, Poșta Română — with tracking links filled in where we know the format. Add your own rates, free-shipping threshold and local carriers.
Checkout that feels local
The address form asks for the county, which is required, and phone numbers are checked against the +40 format.
