SAPI Sandstrahltechnik

A business buying a blasting cabinet reclaims the VAT, so the number that matters to them is the net one — and the number the law requires you to show a consumer is the gross one. The shop shows both, on every product, everywhere: the net price large and the gross underneath it, with the VAT rate named.

Each product also carries its own delivery estimate rather than one shipping promise for the whole catalogue, because a pallet of abrasive off the shelf and a made-to-order blast hall are not the same wait, and pretending otherwise is how a first order becomes a complaint.

The catalogue is filtered on the things an engineer is actually choosing between — filter type, air throughput, price — not on colour and size. That means the technical attributes have to be modelled properly as product data rather than written into a description where nothing can search them.

It is the least glamorous part of a shop like this and the part that decides whether anyone finds the right machine.

German, English, Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Slovak, Polish, Czech and Croatian — each a real storefront rather than a machine translation bolted over the top, all reading from one product catalogue so a price or a stock figure is changed in one place.

Stripe handles the checkout. The rest — the parts of a manufacturer's trade that no cart does out of the box — is custom modules on a Hyvä front end, which is what keeps a shop this size loading like a small one.
