Built-in real-time currency conversion for duties & taxes — No external PSP needed

Why Built-in FX in Cross-Border Checkout Is Rare—and Powerful

In the e‑commerce world, managing cross-border sales often requires stitching together multiple services: payment service providers (PSPs) for processing, separate FX vendors for currency conversion, and additional platforms for calculating duties and taxes. Finding a solution that seamlessly integrates FX conversion into the checkout flow is exceptionally rare—yet this integration is a game changer.

Most platforms rely on external PSPs and FX partners, creating multiple potential points of failure, hidden fees, and user friction. This is especially true for complex international shipping scenarios where duties, taxes, and currency fluctuations collide.

What Other Platforms Offer (and Where They Fall Short)

  • Shopify Plus supports multi-currency pricing and localized checkout, improving user trust and reducing cart abandonment. But FX functionality still depends on external FX feeds or PSPs for actual payment conversions.

  • Flow allows rule-based pricing in over 100 currencies and offers localized checkout and global delivery—but FX conversion is limited to pricing rules, not integrated payment processing.

  • Other fintechs like Ebury and TIS provide powerful FX, global accounts, and risk management. However, they focus primarily on business-to-business or treasury FX—not streamlined checkout integration in DDP shipping workflows.

  • UniTeller, Mangopay, and Payoneer each support multi-currency transactions or FX services, but again, not as embedded within a checkout-to-border delivery flow—they address payments, not duties or taxes in a hybrid DDP setup .

Enter DutyPlus: The Seamless Hybrid DDP with Built-in FX

With DutyPlus, all elements—duty, tax, and real-time FX—are handled within one integrated solution, eliminating the need for external PSPs. Here’s why that matters:

  • ** True all‑in‑one checkout**: Customers see and pay shipping duty and tax in their local currency in just 2 clicks—all powered by built‑in FX. No manual conversions or unexpected charges.

  • ** Hybrid DDP flexibility**: Shipments can convert to DDP after checkout but before delivery in mid-transit using branded SMS or email payment pages—further reducing customs delays or failed deliveries.

  • ** Transparent, localized experience**: Transparent pricing, no hidden fees, mobile-optimized and local-language payment interfaces.

  • ** Reliable and compliant**: One API, traceable audit trails, customs compliance, and multiparty payouts to authorities and partners—all while ensuring accurate currency handling.
