Platform Overview

Global-e is designed to help brands sell internationally by managing the complex operational, financial, and compliance elements of cross-border e-commerce. The platform enables merchants to deliver localized shopping experiences for global customers, including local currencies, regional payment methods, and accurate duty and tax calculations.

By centralizing international logistics, currency management, and checkout localization, Global-e helps businesses reduce friction for international shoppers and improve conversion rates. The platform integrates directly with popular e-commerce systems, such as Shopify, allowing brands to expand into new markets without requiring separate regional storefronts.

Key Features:

• Localized Shopping Experiences: Global-e supports 26 languages and over 150 payment methods, enabling merchants to provide region-specific checkout experiences. Prices, languages, and currencies automatically adjust based on the shopper’s location, helping reduce cart abandonment and improve trust with international customers.
• Global Payments: The platform processes transactions in multiple currencies and supports popular local payment options such as credit cards, digital wallets, and regional alternatives.
• Taxes, Duties, and Compliance: Global-e automatically calculates and collects import duties, VAT, and other local taxes at checkout. This ensures customers see the full cost of their purchase upfront, preventing delivery delays or surprise charges.
• Fulfillment and Shipping: Merchants can leverage Global-e’s logistics infrastructure to ship products worldwide without managing local inventory.
• Risk and Fraud Management: Global-e includes built-in safeguards to reduce the risks associated with cross-border transactions. The platform manages currency conversion, fraud detection, and chargeback protection, shielding merchants from payment volatility and fraudulent activity.
