International eCommerce options .....

[TechCoPilot]

Hello,

I am working with a company who is small, but wants to expand international. They deliver high stakes tests online to consumers. These tests can be used to obtain certifications for career advancement. I have done some research, and have yet to find a suitable solution for them. They wish to not worry about things such as VAT Tax collection and wish to have a 3rd party do this kind of work for them.

There are a ton of 3rd parties which offer to become a 'reseller' for software publishers / hard good sales taking care of all of the multi-currency/tax issues for you taking a cut of all of your revenue generated from the online sale. This looks attractive, but it seems as though that is the extent of the services. I need to be able to have a solution that integrates with this existing online service instead of it looking like a typical store-front.

Does anyone have any experience moving into international (out of US) who is an online seller? Is there a method that you can recommend or stay away from?

Thanks in advance,

Your business is searching for international resellers to market their products worldwide ? I think that this is a matter of individual agreements between your company and the resellers. Hard to give a general advise here without knowing some more details.

Basically the challenge is surely to find resellers which are trustworthy and professional enough (most claim it, the less are).
