A total of 98 retailers have been approved for funding under the Online Retail Scheme (ORS), which is administered by Enterprise Ireland.
The scheme was open to retailers who already have an online presence and a physical store, to help enhance their online capability and attract new customers.
This latest funding from the scheme sees 98 retailers across all regions approved for funding of €2.3m. 79% of the successful companies are based outside of Dublin.
The businesses will receive grants ranging from a minimum of €10,000 to a maximum of €25,000, with 46% of all successful applicants benefitting for the first time.
Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment Neale Richmond said that retailers are at the heart of communities across the country.
The Government is delighted to support them in their transition to online retail, he added.
"Through the Online Retail Scheme, we are enabling established retailers with a store to expand their market presence beyond their community, and even the country, with an increased online presence," Mr Richmond said.
"It is great to see a geographical spread of successful retail companies from around the country under this round of the Scheme, with 77 successful applications from the regions and 21 businesses based in Dublin," he added.
Teri Smith, Manager of Retail, Consumer and Online, Enterprise Ireland said the Online Retail Scheme to date has supported more than 850 projects that are delivering real benefits to retailers and customers across Ireland.
"Innovative Irish retailers are increasingly looking for ways to adapt their traditional retail model to reflect the growing demand for online shopping from consumers and this latest funding round will help 98 retailers in that ambition," Ms Smith said.
"In this funding call we specifically sought applications from businesses which hadn't previously benefitted from the scheme, and we're delighted that a large number of first-time applicants engaged with the Scheme this year," she added.
