What MegaMerchant does

MegaMerchant is an AI-powered e-export infrastructure platform founded in April 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey, by Yaman Alpata (formerly the first Turkish employee at Alibaba Group). The company enables Turkish brands to sell across more than 30 global marketplaces in the EU, UK, and US, acting as Merchant of Record and Importer of Record to handle listing, dynamic pricing, advertising, logistics, customs, regulatory compliance, returns, and multilingual customer service on the brand's behalf. Brand partners retain manufacturing focus while MegaMerchant operates end-to-end on their behalf.

The underlying technology stack centers on two proprietary dashboards: the Nova Partner Panel (a real-time multi-channel seller dashboard tracking orders, stock, returns, and payments) and the OMEGA B2B supplier portal (for catalog management and commercial terms). Around these, the platform offers AI-augmented modules including dynamic pricing engines with sub-five-minute repricing across 30+ marketplaces, generative AI for localized content in 10+ languages, predictive inventory replenishment, and SKU-level return analytics. MegaMerchant also operates Amazon Ads as a Verified Partner, with reported 3.2x average ROAS across managed campaigns.

The business model is a 5% commission on gross merchandise sales (excluding taxes and cancellations) as the primary revenue stream, with a secondary Private Label procurement line where MegaMerchant purchases products from manufacturers and resells under three owned brands (DEKORIST, HOMESENSE, CITRINE). MegaMerchant monetizes existing regulation as Turkey's first Ministry of Trade-certified E-Export Consortium, channeling 50-70% government subsidies on commission, logistics, and advertising costs to qualifying brand partners. The company serves 200+ active brand partners ranging from SMB startups to enterprise customers (including Selpak and English Home), operates wholly-owned subsidiaries in Turkey, Germany, the UK, and the US, and runs warehouses across three continents.
