Ultrō, GLOBAL-E AGENCY
Global-e is a turnkey e-commerce solution designed to facilitate international online sales. Integrated directly into your checkout process, it handles all the complexities of cross-border transactions: taxes, customs duties, currency conversion, logistics, and local payment methods.
What is Global-e?
Global-e is a comprehensive e-commerce solution that simplifies international sales by managing many of the logistical and financial challenges brands face when expanding globally. These include taxes, customs duties, exchange rates, logistics, and payment methods.
Used notably through Shopify Markets Pro (as an official partner), Global-e is compatible with major e-commerce platforms like Shopify and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
Global-e is not an e-commerce platform in itself. Instead, it acts as a layer or extension that enhances platforms such as Shopify or Salesforce Commerce Cloud by adding a dedicated checkout flow for international orders.
For example: international customers of a French brand will seamlessly be directed to the Global-e checkout, while domestic French customers will continue using the platform’s native checkout.
See opposite for an example of the different checkout flows (SFCC and Global-e) offered to French and international customers of the brand Picture Organic Clothing.
What are the benefits of using a service like Global-e?
Automated Tax & Customs Management
Global-e automatically manages VAT rates by country, region, and product category (e.g., 2.1% VAT on coffee in Corsica). It also handles declaration thresholds (e.g., €10,000 revenue threshold in EU) and all customs formalities, including official documents and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) declarations.Duties and taxes are shown directly in the shopping cart, increasing transparency and significantly reducing cart abandonment.
Exchange Rates & Psychological Pricing
Global-e includes financial intelligence that adjusts prices per market:
- Prices displayed in the local currency with optimized rounding for psychological pricing
- Protection from sharp currency fluctuations
- Continuous price adaptation based on local economic conditions
Optimized Logistics & Delivery
Global-e offers advanced customization for logistics, including:
- Integration with international warehouses
- Selection of country-specific local carriers
- Express delivery with multi-stock management
- An international return portal
It is one of the few e-commerce solutions that offers unified pickup point management, allowing different pickup networks to appear on the same map.

Multilingual & International
Global-e ensures a smooth and localized shopping experience, from the interface to the transactional emails received by the customer — all in the shopper’s native language.
