E-commerce success: Overcoming customers' fear of cross-border shopping

Recent years have brought us the growth of e-commerce brands. Online stores appeal to decision-makers, tempting partners who have access to product offerings as well as competitive prices. Even though the global e-commerce market is doing pretty well, research is emerging. Many consumers have concerns as well as a lack of confidence when it comes to pet shopping abroad.

What Does an Online Shop Need When Establishing Itself in a New Market?

Entering an online shop abroad is naturally accompanied by many new tasks and long-term challenges. In the past chapters of our expansion guide, we have described situations that online shops commonly encounter when expanding. We have thus addressed the most common mistakes of entrepreneurs and their possible solutions in terms of streamlining input costs and demands of time.

Success in foreign e-commerce markets is not just about building a positive customer experience. Knowledge of European legislation, local payment methods or local regulations is also essential.

And what trends dominate payment methods?

Expansion Guide VI: Logistics, Reverse Logistics and Inventory Management

A broad topic with a significant impact on sales and customer satisfaction. The Achilles heel of many e-commerce stores, but also a major opportunity to set up services that literally produce conversions. Let's have a look together at the first steps before expansion, the analysis, the export and reverse logistics alternatives and the options for optimally setting them up.

Expansion Guide V: Customer Support and International Team Building

Building customer trust and maintaining it is a challenge for any brand. Despite having a multitude of tools in your hands, direct interaction with customer service is still key. The simplicity, speed and professionalism with which we deal with your enquiries is the factor that determines whether a purchase will be made with you and whether the buyer will return to you again. We have to look all the more at the issue and the possible solutions if the sale is made abroad, where the decision-making processes for the purchase are subject to details relating mainly to communication, but no less to delivery, return of goods, or localization. Such customer service is your hands, eyes, and face. When to bet on human power and when to use the possibilities of artificial intelligence? What to watch out for, what are the possibilities and where is the online age taking us?
