When a client needs an online store, it's probably only thinking about selling its goods domestically. However, for an eCommerce business to properly realise its potential, it needs to be looking towards selling internationally. And to help that happen, you need an eCommerce platform that's built for frictionless international sales.

According to research by eMarketer, the total value of retail sales worldwide is predicted to rise from $1.3 trillion in 2014 to $4.9 trillion in 2021, with 2.1 billion people worldwide expected to buy goods or services online this year. Nielsen has found that on average, 57% of online shoppers make purchases from overseas retailers, so if a merchant is willing to think beyond its own borders it's almost certain to find customers.

Jim McCauley

Jim McCauley is a writer, performer and cat-wrangler who started writing professionally way back in 1995 on PC Format magazine, and has been covering technology-related subjects ever since, whether it's hardware, software or videogames. A chance call in 2005 led to Jim taking charge of Computer Arts' website and developing an interest in the world of graphic design, and eventually led to a move over to the freshly-launched Creative Bloq in 2012. Jim now works as a freelance writer for sites including Creative Bloq, T3 and PetsRadar, specialising in design, technology, wellness and cats, while doing the occasional pantomime and street performance in Bath and designing posters for a local drama group on the side.
