Definition

What is global commerce?

Global commerce is when a business sells online to customers in other countries. The winners are the businesses that look like a local brand in every market: customers want to see their own language, their own currency, a payment method they know and a shipping option they trust.

Faprika brings this localization together in one platform. You open a separate store for every country, without separate software, separate stock or a separate team.

Comparison

Three ways to go global

Businesses usually go international either by setting up separate software for every country or by adding a language menu to a single site. Faprika offers a third way: separate country stores, one management.

TopicSeparate software per countryOne site with a language menuFaprika country stores
Domain nameA separate setup in every countryOne domain, all countries at the same addressEach country on its own domain, from one panel
Local search visibilityEach site is managed separatelyHard to differentiate by countryEach country and language with its own pages, linked by hreflang
Price and campaignsManually in each panelUsually a single price listPrice rules by country, country-specific campaigns
StockSynced manually between panelsOne stockOne stock across all stores and marketplaces

Country stores

A separate domain and store for every country

A language menu on a single site is not enough: customers want to see their own country's domain, language and currency. With Faprika, each country or region opens on its own domain with its own rules, and you manage them all from one panel and one stock.

  • A separate domain for every country

    markaniz.de for Germany, markaniz.co.uk for the United Kingdom, markaniz.ae for the Gulf, markaniz.com for the world. You connect your domain and the SSL certificate is set up automatically.

  • Its own language, its own currency

    Unlimited languages and currencies; foreign currency prices can be calculated automatically at the current exchange rate.

  • Its own prices and campaigns

    Tax and shipping differences are reflected in the price with country-based percentages or amounts; a campaign runs only in the countries you choose.

  • Its own storefront and catalog

    A separate home page, banners and welcome screen for each country; you put different products on sale in each market.

Country-based pricing

Same product, the right price in every market

What an order costs you changes from country to country. In Faprika you enter the price once; the currency, exchange rate and country rule calculate the price for each market.

  1. 01
    Automatic currency prices at the current rate

    You price the product once; the price in every currency is calculated at the current exchange rate.

  2. 02
    Price rules by country

    You add tax, customs and shipping differences to that country’s price as a percentage or fixed amount, protecting your margin in every market.

  3. 03
    Country-specific campaigns

    You run a campaign only in the countries you choose, in that country’s currency.

  4. 04
    Market-based catalog

    In every market you offer only the products suited to that market.

What changes from market to market?

Same product, five markets, five separate stores

From the domain to the payment method, every setting is kept separate per market. The values in the table are examples.

Central operations

Five countries, two marketplaces, one order screen

Growing globally doesn’t have to mean growing your team. Orders, stock and shipping are managed in one place, so your workload doesn’t grow with every new country.

  • All orders on one screen

    Orders from your country stores and connected global marketplaces land on the same order screen.

  • One catalog, one stock

    Whichever country and channel a sale comes from, stock is deducted from the same catalog, so you never sell a product that is out of stock elsewhere.

  • Shipping by country

    You ship to each country with a different carrier and different rates.

  • Fast dispatch from the warehouse

    With the Warehouse Management System, picking, shelving and stock counts run on a phone.

Multilingual SEO

Let the world find you in its own language

The first step to selling abroad is being found. Each language version of your pages opens to search engines with its own title, description and address; when visitors arrive, they are greeted in their own language and currency.

  1. 01
    Language-based SEO

    A separate title, description and address for each language; pages are linked to each other with hreflang.

  2. 02
    Automatic language and country detection

    Visitors are greeted in the language and currency of their country; it works with criteria such as IP detection, browser language and operating system language.

  3. 03
    Machine translation

    Every part of your site, from product details to category descriptions, is translated automatically into the languages you choose; you can edit any field manually if you wish.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about global commerce

What is global commerce (cross-border e-commerce)?

It is when a business sells online to consumers and businesses in other countries. Products are sold through your own online store or global marketplaces, payment is taken online and the order is shipped internationally.

Can I use a separate domain for each country?

Yes. With Faprika you can use a separate domain for each country or region; for example, your customers in Germany shop at markaniz.de and those in the United Kingdom at markaniz.co.uk. Each domain has its own language, currency, prices, campaigns and storefront; the SSL certificate is set up automatically and you manage everything from one panel.

One site, or a separate store for every country?

Customers trust and buy more easily when they see their own country’s domain, language and currency, and search engines more readily show country-specific pages to users in that country. In Faprika, country stores are opened separately but managed from one panel and one stock, so you need no separate software or team for each country.

How many languages and currencies can I sell in?

Unlimited. You define a language and currency for every market you sell in. Foreign currency prices can be calculated automatically at the current exchange rate. Your payment provider must support cross-border sales.

Can I set a different price for each country?

Yes. What an order costs you varies from country to country because of taxes, shipping and similar factors. With country-based price rules you add these differences to the price as a percentage or a fixed amount.

Can I show different products and campaigns in each country?

Yes. With a market-based catalog you put different products on sale in each market and run a campaign only in the countries you choose. You can also use a separate storefront, banners and home page for each country.

Do foreign visitors see the site in their own language?

Yes. Automatic language and country detection greets visitors in the language and currency of the country they come from. It works with different criteria such as IP detection, browser language and operating system language.

Do I have to translate product descriptions into each language one by one?

No. Automatic translation translates every part of your site, from product details to category descriptions, into the languages you choose. You can also edit any field manually if you wish.

How does SEO work on a multilingual, multi-country site?

Each language gets its own title, description and address, and the pages are linked to each other with hreflang. This way, search engines show users in each country the page of your site in the right language.

How do customers abroad pay?

You offer each country payment methods that match local habits; Faprika provides more than 50 alternative international payment methods. If you plan to work with a payment provider we are not yet integrated with, the Faprika team can build the integration.

How is international shipping managed?

With country-based shipping management, you work with a different carrier and different rates for each country. With the Navlungo and CEVA Logistics integrations, you can manage your international shipments from the panel.

Which global marketplaces can I sell on?

You manage products, stock, prices and orders on Amazon marketplaces in 22 countries, on Ozon and on AliExpress from your Faprika panel.

How are stock and orders managed?

Orders from all your country stores and connected marketplaces land on a single order screen. Whichever channel a sale comes from, stock is deducted from the same catalog.

Which countries can I sell to?

For every market you sell in, you define the language, currency, domain, payment and shipping. Payment and shipping options vary by country; our team plans the right setup for your market with you.
