eCommerce products next to a globe. Cross Border eCommerce powered by ePAL Global.

Solvehop Partners with ePAL Global to Power Cross-Border Ecommerce Growth for WooCommerce.

Solvehop has partnered with ePAL Global to help merchants, developers, and agencies unlock seamless cross-border ecommerce. Following close collaboration with the ePAL product team—we are now actively enabling businesses to adopt and scale international ecommerce with greater speed, transparency, and control.

This partnership brings together Solvehop’s expertise in ecommerce technology and integration with ePAL’s advanced orchestration platform—making it significantly easier for WooCommerce stores to expand internationally, improve international ecommerce shipping performance, and deliver a better global customer experience.

A Smarter Way to Expand Internationally

For many merchants, the decision to expand internationally is held back by complexity. International ecommerce shipping, duties and taxes, compliance requirements, and fragmented logistics workflows create risk at every step.

ePAL solves this by acting as a cross-border ecommerce orchestration layer—positioned between your checkout and the full downstream delivery process.

It enables:

  • Fully landed cost calculation at checkout (duties, taxes, shipping)
  • Product optimisation for cross-border shipping
  • Automated labelling sync, packing, and export handling
  • Customs compliance and clearance
  • End-to-end delivery through to last-mile

This means your customers see exactly what they will pay upfront, eliminating surprises and dramatically improving the international buying experience.

Why Cross-Border Ecommerce Is Surging

Cross-border ecommerce is growing substantially faster than domestic ecommerce. Recent market studies estimate global cross-border B2C ecommerce growth in the 20–27 percent annual range, compared with roughly 8–10 percent for overall ecommerce. Multiple forecasts project that cross-border ecommerce will at least double in size over the next decade*. Polaris market research*

For companies looking to expand internationally, this represents one of the most accessible and high-impact growth opportunities today.

However, success depends on execution.

Poor handling of international duties and taxes, unclear shipping costs, and inconsistent delivery experiences remain the biggest barriers. These are also the exact areas where ePAL delivers measurable improvements.

What Makes ePAL Different

Unlike traditional cross-border ecommerce software or point solutions, ePAL is built as a unified orchestration platform.

Most solutions only address one part of the problem—such as shipping rates, tax calculation, or customs documentation. ePAL connects all of these into a single, intelligent workflow.

Key differentiators:

  • End-to-end orchestration rather than fragmented tooling
  • Real-time landed cost accuracy at checkout
  • Built-in compliance for international duties and taxes ecommerce requirements
  • DDP‑style fully landed cost at checkout, without unexpected charges on delivery
  • Ability to optimise both cost and delivery performance simultaneously

This makes it not just another international ecommerce shipping solution, but a more complete cross-border ecommerce strategy enabler.

Built for Growth at Any Scale

ePAL supports a wide range of business models and growth stages:

  • Small to mid-sized merchants can quickly expand internationally using direct-to-consumer shipping from their existing location, without investing in overseas infrastructure
  • Mid to large businesses can optimise international ecommerce logistics through local warehousing, fulfilment, and economies of scale
  • Supports B2C, B2B, and importation use cases within a single platform

This flexibility allows businesses to start simple and scale into more advanced global trade operations over time.

Works With Your Existing Stack

ePAL integrates seamlessly with your current eCommerce and shipping setup, enhancing your existing processes rather than replacing them. It connects with platforms like WooCommerce and existing carriers, while also giving access to a global network of:

  • Shipping providers and postal operators
  • Customs brokers and compliance services
  • Tax and VAT solutions
  • 3PL and fulfilment partners

This combination of integration and optional infrastructure makes it one of the more practical international eCommerce shipping management solutions available today.

A comment from ePAL’s CEO, Ron Healy: 

“The reason we started ePAL was because, in previous roles, we saw an opportunity both to help SME eCommerce merchants and also consumers, and decided to pursue it. Personally, my whole professional life involves studying regulations and legislation to find ways to innovate and maximise responses to them, especially when they change. Cross-border eCommerce was going through a lot of change, while also taking off like a rocket during and after COVID, so to me it was a fascinating area, ripe for innovation. For some people, regulation stifles innovation. For me, regulation breeds innovation.”

“As for what technology is doing to this space, apart from the obvious ‘AI everything’, technology is allowing for much greater integration and orchestration end to end. When a customer buys something, they don’t know, and don’t want to know, all the moving parts required to get the product to their door. But behind the scenes, those who do know, and can integrate, orchestrate and optimize, will be best placed to take advantage.”
