Choose products suited for shipping
Start with light, sturdy items that are legal to ship, such as crafts, coffee, clothing or accessories. Check customs restrictions in the destination country, especially for food and liquids.
Calculate shipping carefully
Get quotes from several courier companies and calculate cost by weight and destination. Include packaging and decide whether to charge it separately or build it into the price.
- Package weight and dimensions
- Estimated delivery time
- Insurance and tracking
- Destination taxes or duties
Define how to get paid
Offer methods that work for people abroad: international transfers, digital wallets or card payments. Confirm payment before shipping.
Show clear prices
Present your catalog with prices in the currency most comfortable for the buyer and clarify what shipping includes. Avoid surprises that cancel the purchase.
Communicate and follow up
Mind time zone differences, send the tracking number and notify when the package is on its way. Good follow-up builds trust and repeat purchases.
Selling internationally is possible with suitable products, well-calculated shipping, secure payments and clear communication.
Start with a test: offer your star product to your contacts abroad and learn from the process.
