Launch new markets with customizable functionality.

Selling in new markets is one of the most fundamental ways to grow. We make it easy to add new markets so you can start selling when you're ready.

  • Add a new market anywhere you plan to sell
    We make it easy to create and name a market and customize it to your business.
  • Customize to meet your requirements
    You can create a new merchant or choose an existing one that serves your new market. Use different SKUs and SKU lists, offer market-specific prices, and manage inventory from whatever warehouse makes the most sense.
  • Automate what you need, build the rest how you want
    Select from a variety of automated solutions we've built for you, like hosted checkout, tax calculators, payment gateways, or geocoding for order shipping and billing addresses, just to name a few.

Localized promotions and pricing.

With unlimited flexibility in pricing and promotions, you can leave your customers satisfied with localized deals at optimum prices... and no hassles with any embedded costs.

  • Sell in local currencies, avoid the fees
    Avoid the currency conversion pain points, and sell your products using local currencies. Customers don't want to pay conversion fees, and you don't want to pay another ecommerce platform for transaction costs.
  • Customize your pricing
    You can create different prices for SKUs based upon the local buying tendencies and purchasing power in the markets where you sell.
  • Localize your promotions
    Present an authentic, local brand by offering localized promotions. Set rules that allow for start and end times and price calculations.
  • Gift cards
    You may offer rechargeable or single-use gift cards. Not a problem, we support whatever you want to do with this unique payment option.

Any payment gateway, in any market.

One of the most crucial ways to grow a local market is to support all the ways a customer expects to pay for something.

  • Native payment gateway integrations
    Out-of-the-box, we offer payment gateway support for Stripe, Braintree, Ayden, Paypal, Klarna, and Checkout.com. It's as easy as selecting the payment gateway during setup and configuring it.
  • Add external gateways
    If our intergations don't solve your local payment gateway needs, you can add any payment gateway using Lambda functions. Our developer docs will show you what you need to know.
  • Set up manual payment options
    Manual payment gateways are useful to process wire transfers, cash payments, and any other kind of manual payments. We give you the contols to set it up as you like.

Manage inventory and shipments smartly.

Our team will help you think about how you want to manage your inventory given your current setup.

  • Start with an inventory model
    Create and prioritize your stock locations to determine the availability of your SKUs. Maybe it's physical warehouses, retail stores, or virtual locations. Doesn't matter, all are supported. You can even ship based on your prioritized locations
  • Create sightlines into available stock across your markets
    Since we support multiple stock locations, we help you manage your sellable inventory. You can even determine SKUs that should be maintained from production until order fulfillment. Maybe you have more than one stock locations, each with a unique address. Not a problem. Customize however you need.
  • For shipping, we've thought of everything
    Zones, categories, methods, delivery lead times, packages, carrier accounts, geocoding... it's all there. We support you want your order items fulfilled — split shipments, ship from a primary location, or ship from first available.
  • What about returns?
    Covered. Establish a hierarchy of stock locations so that in cases where a SKU is available in more stock locations, it gets returned to those with the highest priority.
