Why brands choose OpenBorder for international growth.
Lower shipping costs. Lower payment fees. Optimized taxes. And the flexibility to bring your own setup.










































Four reasons brands switch. And don't switch back.
Each one is a real, measurable difference. Together, they're why international finally stops being the hardest channel to grow.
Ship internationally at the lowest cost.
We've built carrier relationships across every major lane — so your customers get fast delivery at rates you couldn't get on your own. 1 lb DDP, US to:
That's the difference between an international cart that gets abandoned and an international cart that converts.

Cut payment processing fees by 70%.
Most US payment gateways process international transactions as foreign currency payments — costing you 4–5% per transaction.
We process them locally instead using our local entity. Fees drop to under 1%.

Reduce Canada tax from 12% to 5%.
Customers in British Columbia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba currently pay 12% tax on every order delivered into these regions.
With OpenBorder's tax-optimised import scheme, brands shipping into these regions can reduce that tax to 5% — so customers save 7% on every order. No major operational changes required.

Keep your carrier. Gain everything else.
If you've negotiated international rates with DHL, FedEx, or any other carrier — keep them.
We don't force you onto our network. Your carrier rates, your existing relationships, our platform on top.

Frequently asked questions
How long does migration take from another platform?
Most brands are fully migrated in 2–3 weeks. That includes connecting your store, transferring your international markets, setting up shipping, taxes, duties, and compliance. There's no downtime to your existing international operation while we migrate.
What happens to my existing carrier and 3PL relationships?
You keep them. We work with your existing carrier contracts and 3PL relationships — adding the international layer on top. Where our rates or routes are better than what you have, you can switch to ours per lane. Nothing forces you to rip and replace.
How is your pricing different from Global-e or Passport?
We charge 1–2.5% platform fee on GMV. Most competitors charge 4–9%. There's no setup fee. No hidden FX markups on currency conversion. Shipping, fulfillment, and compliance are billed transparently — you see exactly what you pay for, per market.
What if I'm only looking for one capability — like shipping or returns?
You can start with just what you need. Some brands come to us only for cross-border shipping, others for international returns, others for TikTok Shop UK. We're modular by design. Most brands add more services over time as they see results.
Is there a minimum revenue threshold to work with OpenBorder?
We work best with DTC brands doing $1M+ in annual revenue who are either exploring international or already selling internationally and looking to scale. The brands who get the most value are usually scaling international as a real growth priority — not just experimenting.
The reasons to switch are clear. Let's get started.
