What GlobalShopex does
GlobalShopex is a Miami-headquartered, privately held cross-border ecommerce and logistics platform that enables US-based merchants to sell to more than 200 countries and territories without maintaining local international inventory. The company operates two core product lines: a Merchant B2C fulfillment solution — providing localized checkout in local currency/language, international payment processing (cards, PayPal, AliPay, SafetyPay, bank transfers, Money Gram, Western Union), customs clearance and brokerage, guaranteed duties/taxes calculation, fraud and chargeback insurance, returns management, and multilingual customer support — and a newer Marketplace B2B solution that lists US merchant and distributor products into international marketplaces and B2B channels with daily inventory sync and category-level pricing optimization. The technical platform is exposed via three integration paths (Cart2Cart plug-in, iFrame, and Web Service API) and ships into certified integrations with 20+ ecommerce platforms including Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Volusion, WooCommerce, Oracle NetSuite, Miva, and ChannelAdvisor; PCI-DSS compliance with annual third-party security audits underpins payment handling.
Operations are anchored by a coast-to-coast physical footprint — a Doral/Miami east-coast logistics hub (2323 NW 82nd Ave, Ste 110) and a Los Angeles west-coast fulfillment center — staffed with personnel who receive, package, and dispatch international shipments via a consortium of logistics partners (DHL, British Airways Cargo, LATAM Airlines Cargo, China Airlines Cargo, Virgin Atlantic Cargo, Air Canada Cargo, American Airlines Cargo). Withdrawn from experience accumulated as a cross-border ecommerce spin-out of eShopex (founded 1999), GlobalShopex serves 'hundreds of USA merchants' per its own commentary, with documented customer logos concentrated in SMB retail (Pretty-Attitude.com, SoccerGarage.com, Moissanite.com, Eyesave, dogIDs, Scrubs & Beyond, Marissa Collections, UnbeatableSale.com, 3dcart, etc.). Revenue is generated entirely through transaction fees on processed international orders, with free integration setup and a pay-as-you-go billing cadence; the company is privately held under legal entity GlobalShopex LLC (Florida, USA), with no disclosed institutional investors and no headcount disclosures available in the input data.
