Swap, Avalara to Simplify Cross-Border Retail Challenges

The integrated offering from Swap and Avalara reduces cross-border complexity and compliance risk.

Swap, the ecommerce operating system (OS) that connects operations on one platform for ecommerce brands, announced an enhanced partnership with Avalara, Inc., a provider of tax compliance automation software for businesses of all sizes.

Swap and Avalara will collaborate to enable cross-border compliance for brands selling on marketplaces and platforms globally, which includes hundreds of brands currently served by Swap, in addition to powering cross-border compliance for online marketplaces.

The global cross-border ecommerce market is projected to surpass $9 trillion by 2032, with 28% of sales from companies already engaged in international ecommerce coming from cross-border commerce. The integrated offering from Swap and Avalara reduces cross-border complexity and compliance risk and ensures duties, taxes, and fees are paid at checkpoints to improve cart conversion in more marketplaces.

“We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with Avalara and its team of cross-border compliance experts and empower direct-to-consumer brands to access new markets across the globe, reaching their full potential,” said Cian Wright, VP of Strategic Growth at Swap.

“Swap understands the needs of their customers, and their integrated offering reduces complexity for online retail customers in many ways,” said Craig Reed, General Manager, Cross Border at Avalara. “We understand that digitisation of business processes is not an option, it is essential; we are proud to offer fast, accurate, and easy compliance automation solutions to our shared customers.”
