Selling abroad is a huge growth lever — and a compliance minefield if you bolt it on late. Three things change the moment you cross a border.
Currency
Shoppers convert better when they see local prices. That means presenting prices in their currency and capturing the exchange rate used on each order, so your totals never drift.
Tax
Tax is decided by place of supply — where the customer is, and what you're selling. In the EU, that means VAT and often OSS (One-Stop-Shop) reporting. Digital goods have their own rules.
Trust
International shoppers are cautious. Clear pricing, secure checkout and fast delivery estimates matter even more than at home.
Build it into the core
Retrofitting currency and tax with plugins is painful. CIQRA treats multi-currency (ECB rates), EU VAT & OSS and place-of-supply tax as core features — see International.
