GeraMarket in Georgia 2026 — Marketplace Selling in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi

Quick answer

GeraMarket is an ecommerce marketplace for Georgia (the country — საქართველო, capital Tbilisi, not the US state of Georgia). Sell in ₾, settle to TBC, Bank of Georgia, or Liberty Bank, ship via Georgian Post or Tbilisi same-day courier, and stay compliant with the Revenue Service's 1% small-business regime.

Why Georgia needs a real marketplace

Georgia's ecommerce today runs on Facebook Marketplace, Instagram DMs, Vendoo classifieds, and MyMarket.ge. Buyers phone sellers, negotiate, meet in person, pay in cash. It's a thin layer — no escrow, no buyer protection, no tax compliance. GeraMarket replaces that with storefronts, lari checkout, escrow, shipping labels, and an invoice flow that pairs with Revenue Service e-invoicing.

Revenue Service rules every seller should know

Georgia's tax system is famously simple, which is an advantage for marketplace sellers:

Individual entrepreneur (IE): Register on rs.ge in about 15 minutes. No minimum capital.
Small-business status (1% tax): Turnover up to ₾500,000/year is taxed at a flat 1%. Above that, you move to the standard 20% regime.
Micro-business (0% tax): For specific low-earning individual activities up to ₾30,000/year. Less relevant for serious sellers.
VAT (დამატებული ღირებულების გადასახადი): Registration threshold is ₾100,000 turnover over any 12-month period. Standard rate 18%.
E-invoices: Issued through the Revenue Service portal (ES invoice). GeraMarket auto-generates sales data in ES-compatible format for export.

Georgian competitors and where GeraMarket fits

Vendoo and MyMarket.ge cover classifieds for used goods but lack a transactional checkout or escrow. myauto.ge is vertical (cars only). Facebook Marketplace does reach but no protections. GeraMarket targets small businesses and individual sellers who want a proper storefront with buyer protection, lari settlement, and invoicing that works with the Revenue Service.

Cross-border sellers and Georgia's diaspora

Georgia's diaspora of ~1.6M people — heavily concentrated in Russia, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Germany, and the United States — is a natural buyer base for Georgian food, wine, clothing, handicrafts and Kutaisi-made textiles. GeraMarket supports multi-currency checkout so Berlin or London buyers pay in EUR/GBP while Kutaisi sellers receive ₾.
