Selling Across Borders in 2025: What You Need to Know as an eCommerce Brand

If you’re running an online store in 2025 and thinking about selling internationally, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely on the right track. Global eCommerce is booming, and the opportunities for growth outside your local market are bigger than ever.

At Roweb, we’ve seen more and more businesses taking the leap toward cross-border eCommerce, and Magento has proven to be a reliable solution in helping them scale. But like any good opportunity, international expansion comes with its own set of challenges.

So, what should you keep in mind before going global?

1. Selling internationally is more than just translating your site

Yes, language matters — but true cross-border eCommerce is about local experience, not just local language.

From how people pay, to how they expect to check out, how fast they want delivery, and what kind of promotions resonate with them — everything varies by country.

Magento 2 makes this easier than it sounds. It allows you to:

  • Set up multiple store views for different regions.
  • Customize currency, tax rules, shipping and checkout flows per country.
  • Offer localized promotions and product recommendations.

At Roweb, we help clients not just launch international versions of their site, but adapt them culturally and functionally for each market.

2. Payment methods make or break trust

Imagine asking a Dutch user to pay via bank transfer, or a German customer to use a credit card processor they’ve never heard of. That’s a deal-breaker.

Magento integrates smoothly with local payment providers like Klarna, iDEAL, Giropay, Stripe, PayPal and more – and we’ve helped clients set up the right options based on their target market.
We also provide guidance on fraud prevention and data compliance – which are crucial for user trust in new markets.

3. Logistics, shipping and taxes: the hidden complexity

Shipping internationally means more than just choosing a courier.
You’ll need to:

  • Set up clear delivery options (including tracking and estimated times).
  • Handle cross-border taxes (VAT, customs, duties).
  • Offer transparent pricing and returns.

Magento supports all this through custom shipping logic and integrations with global logistics systems — and our dev teams have done deep work in making these flows smooth and reliable.

4. Legal & operational readiness

Different countries = different rules. Cookie banners, data storage, return policies – all need to be aligned with local regulations.

That’s why we don’t just build Magento stores. At Roweb, we act as a technical partner and business advisor, working with your legal or compliance teams to ensure you’re ready to operate smoothly in every region.
