Secrets to success in global e-commerce

Cüneyt Erpolat | Champs Board Member Responsible for Growth

E-commerce eliminates borders, but not everyone is successful in this area. While global e-commerce offers many opportunities for brands to grow, it also brings significant challenges, such as:

• Logistics and supply chain management
• Legal and regulatory compliance
• Payment processing
• Cultural differences and localization
• Customer trust and experience
• Competition
• Returns and refunds

These challenges, especially cultural differences and localization, significantly affect legal and regulatory compliance and customer experience. For example; In Germany, most people use debit cards, not credit cards. They prefer not to shop from sites that are not approved by platforms such as ‘Trustpilot’. They also want to receive support in their own language and are extremely sensitive about the use of their own language.
