Wix also launches localized features
Wix is a website builder, that also provides ecommerce software. Merchants can create an online store with a drag-and-drop system. It has partnered with Global-e, a cross-border software solution, to extend its ecommerce platform.
Through the partnership, Wix users can expand their businesses by using Global-e’s cross-border functionalities. The software will now include pricing and payments in over 100 currencies. This enables customers to buy in their local currency.
Additionally, merchants can set up payment methods, a checkout process, shipping options and language translation per market. Pricing can also be adjusted to regional markets. Sellers can also use an end-to-end international logistics solution, to improve their cross-border operations. Global-e’s data models will also be added to the software, which will give merchants insights to optimize their global offering.
Oren Inditzky, VP of Online Stores at Wix said that they are committed to empowering their merchants to grow their business in the global marketplace and provide them with the tools they need for streamlined international expansion. The collaboration with Global-e removes the complications involved in selling online internationally, enabling Wix merchants to maximize their reach globally, breaking down barriers to international commerce.
The news of this collaboration comes a few weeks after Wix’s competitor Shopify also launched features that help merchants set up localized online stores. Cross-border ecommerce continues to grow, so it is only natural that software providers want to offer these features to sellers.
