eCommerce made Easy

Accept Online Payments in Multiple Currencies

Ecommerce is about more than just selling products online. The internet provides a global platform for ecommerce merchants to expand to foreign markets and attract new, international customers. With a properly designed website, ecommerce merchants can cater to shoppers around the world in a cost-effective fashion. 

The Federal Trade Commission developed a check-list for businesses to help ensure that they are ‘consumer-friendly’ for international ecommerce. Here are a few things to keep in mind when globalizing your website. Beyond pricing in multiple currencies, the FTC recommends that ecommerce businesses clearly disclose the following:

  • Your physical business address, including the country, and an email address or telephone number consumers can use to contact you easily
  • What you are selling, with enough details so that consumers can make an informed buying decision
  • An estimation of when the buyer should receive the order
  • Your return policy, including an explanation of how a consumer can return an item, get a refund or credit or make an exchange
