Fygaro, DHL Express and Bermudian-based First Atlantic Commerce have partnered to launch E-Commerce in a Box — a sales, invoicing, and shipping solution for Caribbean businesses and entrepreneurs.

Ariel Rochwerger, Fygaro founder and co-chief executive officer, said the joint effort, allowed entrepreneurs and companies of all sizes and industries to launch a web store, sell online with and without a web store, and send out or automate invoices and payments.

“Our combined solution takes away the headache of setting up an e-commerce business,” Ms Rochwerger said.

E-Commerce in a Box allows small and medium sized businesses to embed payment buttons on their social media to receive those payments in seconds. Users are not required to have any technical knowledge.

“Using the E-Commerce in a Box solution, businesses can create websites, ship internationally, bill, accept payment and track orders in real-time,” said Christine Nashick, chief executive officer Caribbean, DHL Express. “It’s an incredibly innovative turnkey solution that is easy, fast, and secure with automated quoting and shipping via DHL Express. The integration with DHL Express allows businesses to easily export their product to more than 220 countries globally. Using DHL ensures that the final consumer has the best possible delivery experience, encouraging repeat business.”

Christopher Burns, chief executive officer of FAC, a global online payment gateway said: “We are proud to play a part in this incredibly simple, yet very robust e-commerce solution that is now available across the Caribbean. We have filled a real need for simplified e-commerce solutions in the market.”

Key features of E-Commerce in a Box include no upfront cost; just a monthly fee, easy store management and robust infrastructure (99.9 per cent uptime), among other things.

Fygaro is a full-service platform with over 5,000 users in more than 15 jurisdictions that empowers businesses to send professional invoices, establish online storefronts, accept credit cards through the FAC payment gateway, and ship and track DHL Express packages.
