Merchant of Record advisory for selling abroad
Selling abroad brings tax, VAT or GST, payments and compliance that get complicated fast. A Merchant of Record takes that on as the legal seller. We help you decide whether you need one — and set it up — as advisors.
What Merchant of Record (advisory) means here
Cross-border selling can trip you up on tax, VAT or GST, payments and local compliance. A Merchant of Record (MoR) can absorb all of that by becoming the legal seller — but it is not always the right answer, and the terms matter.
We are advisors here, not the seller of record. We explain in plain words what an MoR does and does not cover for your case, lay out the options honestly, and if one fits we help you choose and onboard a specialist provider.
What’s included
- Plain-words explainer. What a Merchant of Record does and does not cover for your specific case.

- Options & trade-offs. A Merchant of Record versus handling it yourself, with the cost and control implications.
- Partner selection & setup. A shortlist of specialist providers, help reading their terms, and coordinating the hand-off into your store.
How it works
- We review your cross-border plans.
- We lay out the options honestly, Merchant of Record or not.
- If one fits, we help you choose and onboard a specialist.
- We stay on hand as your advisor, not as the seller of record.

How do I know if I need one?
