Ship Orders Internationally to More Customers, Faster!
Any international ecommerce business needs reliable solutions for both cross-border or last mile delivery. That’s why usually businesses approach international or local courier companies to collaborate. However, when expanding abroad, there are more and more needs for technical integrations and standardization between data sent by delivery companies. Finally, with mercoria you have a solution to reach more customers, in more countries, much quicker than usual!
What is a Delivery Integrator?
At Mercoria we act like a delivery integrator. In other words, we buy wholesale from postal and courier companies and then re-sell their services, most often at lower prices than you would get directly from them. This is because they save time dealing with multiple customers and integrations. To put it simply, delivery companies love standards and most of their customers are not able to adjust to them. Well, we are – and it’s much easier for everybody to use a solution that already has so many integrations in place instead of developing them one by one. That’s why if you go directly to a postal or courier company, you wouldn’t get a cheaper price – you lack either volumes, standards, or both.
Of course, if you already have good prices with delivery companies, you can just use our integrations for the shipments and you pay the service directly to them – no problems! Our goal is just to make it much easier for you, no matter what kind of setup you have.
Easily Adjust to Local Specifics for Courier Delivery
You probably know that in some regions of Europe people still want to pay upon delivery, and mostly in cash. For some other countries there should be a customs clearance in place. In other countries it is quite expensive to get your money in local currency and transfer it to your own country via bank etc. All these issues involve plenty of paperwork, lots of nerves and countless hours of additional work for you and your team.
With Mercoria you have all the orders, from all the channels, in all different currencies, in one place. You have ready integrations with delivery companies, so status updates come directly to the platform, in a standardized way. When you use our contract for dealing with postal and courier companies, cash is transferred directly to you in local currency or in any currency you want – we use a complex set of bank and fintech services to make it as easy, transparent, and cheaper as possible for you. You don’t have to deal with so many suppliers anymore!
