1.E-commerce Platform
An e-Commerce platform needs to comply with internationalneeds & requirements
- US Inhouse: « home made »- US as a vendor?- SME versus Enterprise?- Pan European / Localization- Global
![Page 11: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
- Terms and Conditions- Visibility on delivery options & returns- Period of withdrawal- Privacy & Safe harbor- Consumer protection law EU versus US- EU regulation vs. domestic execution - Next: cookies??
2. Legal (1)
There are simple things that need to be covered when running an (international) e-shop. For example:
![Page 12: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
- Regulation around product characteristics- Age verification- Hazmat- VAT rates for babies vs. other products- Invoicing requirements (Seq. Numbering /
country)
2. Legal (2)
And other specifications:
![Page 13: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
- Batch vs. real time APIs- Front office to back vs. back to back- Customization vs. standard integration- One partner vs. multiple partners - Filters…!
3. IT / systems integration
![Page 14: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4. Fraud
% Revenue Lost to Online Fraud Source CyberSource
- Now we are using a combination of tools from payment service providers & internal tools that reduce drastically the number of fraud
![Page 15: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
5. Online Payments
- US payment provider versus European
- Activation based vs. Development
- Various payment methods vs. risk
![Page 16: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 18: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5. Online Payments
- You can offer a lot of payment methods / country but you need to choose the right ones, not all are required
- By offering credit cards only (VISA, Mastercard, AMEX) you will miss for sure revenue opportunities
- On the contrary, adding a payment method like ELV can be dangerous because it is a direct debit card with higher associated risk
- Some payment methods also require more manual work on the back-office
- Conversion : A-B testing
5.Online Payments
![Page 19: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
6. Fulfillment
- Standard pick-pack-ship operations vs. highly customized online buying experience (engraving, special wrapping, gift card message)
-Same experience as in retail (increased expectations by both consumer and brand)
-“Hiding of brands on the outside”
![Page 20: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
7. Transportation & Returns
- B2B vs. B2C- Customer expectations by country (door-to-door, postal, drop point, time window
delivery)- Cost - Lead time- Pricing strategy
- Isolated destinations (remote areas) linked to business industry
- Cost of returns ( it is all about convenience!)
![Page 21: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
8. Customer Contact Center
- Very high expectations from luxury sector companies- Opening hours- Special languages- Dedicated vs. Shared- Native vs. Non native- Level 1 vs. Level 2 – 3- Brand representation- Integration with CRM and offline world
![Page 22: Do’s and don’ts voor cross border e-commerce oplossingen](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/5455e4e3af79594f558b4a4c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
9. IMS
