Main Features

Global Expansion

Quickly replicate your existing store to expand into new international markets. While specific data on replication speed is limited, users generally report a streamlined process for setting up international storefronts. This allows businesses to reach a global audience with minimal initial setup effort.

Fraud Protection

Minimize risks associated with international transactions using the built-in fraud checker. This feature helps protect merchants from fraudulent orders and chargebacks, especially crucial when dealing with unfamiliar international customers and payment methods. While success rates aren't transparent, it offers added security.

Tax and Duty Compliance

Automate international tax and duty calculations and collection, simplifying compliance. This feature is a major selling point, as it removes the burden of manually calculating and remitting taxes in different countries. However, it's important to verify the accuracy of calculations and reporting.

Localized Shopping Experiences

Enhance customer experience by supporting multiple currencies and local payment methods. By allowing customers to pay in their local currency using familiar payment options, conversion rates can potentially improve. Concrete data is lacking, but anecdotal evidence suggests a positive impact on sales.

Shipping Solutions

Access potentially cheaper DHL Express rates and streamlined shipping logistics. This can lead to cost savings on international shipping, making your products more competitive in global markets. Comparative data is limited, but the potential for reduced shipping expenses is a definite advantage.
