National Trading Online Voucher
Trading online has become a much easier task to complete in the last couple of years. While no two eCommerce projects are identical, the basic principles remain the same.

Making it even easier, and cheaper, again is the introduction of the National Online Trading Voucher Programme. Are you aware of this incredible scheme? Read on to learn more
Quite simply, the trading online scheme is designed to provide individual qualifying businesses with a voucher of up to €2,500 to be used along with the company’s own matching funding for the implementation of a trading online component to their business. This scheme aims to encourage the development of online engagement by Irish SMEs through the adoption of digital services or skills.
