Marketplaces and platforms
Outpost brings together everything you need to sell in a new country: more payments approved, local payment options, and Outpost as the taxpayer for your marketplace sales. Use Outpost to win more buyers abroad and scale globally with your current team.
Marketplaces
More buyers complete their purchase, your sellers sell more, and the tax work doesn’t grow as you add countries.
Increase your approval rate abroad, convert the demand you already have, and keep more of each sale, so more of your buyers abroad complete their purchase and your sellers sell more.
Keep your setup and your checkout, connect once, and add new countries within weeks, so your engineers stay on the product.
We calculate, collect, file, and remit the tax on the sales we cover, and answer the tax office, so you can add countries and sellers without adding tax work.
Payments
When you sell cross-border, your buyer’s bank doesn’t recognise you, so good payments get declined, and higher card fees and currency conversion costs reduce what you and your sellers keep from each sale.
With Outpost as the legal reseller in the countries we cover, your buyers’ payments are treated as domestic, so 25 to 40% more are approved.
Let buyers pay in their own currency, the way they pay at home, so more of them buy and your sellers sell more.
Your payments are treated as domestic, so card fees are lower, and you choose the currency you’re paid in.
We isolate payment risk for each client with dedicated merchant accounts and a merchant category code (MCC).

Read about Merchant of RecordKeep your payment provider, orchestrator, and checkout, or use ours, and pay your sellers the way you do today. Outpost covers only the countries that need it, and your brand stays on the checkout.

Work with one partner instead of an adviser in each country, no matter how many sellers you add.
Connect to Outpost once, then add new markets from there so your engineers stay on the product.
Tax
We calculate, collect, file and remit the tax on the sales we cover, and answer the tax office.
As the platform, you’re often responsible for the tax on your sellers’ sales. With Outpost as the legal reseller in the countries we cover, Outpost is the taxpayer on those sales, so the tax office deals with us.
We’re already registered, so you can add countries and sellers without a new registration each time.
We calculate the sales tax, VAT or GST on each sale, and file and remit it on time, however many sellers you have.
If the tax office contacts us about those sales, we answer, so audits don’t land on your team.
Benefits
One partner that pays any fines if it gets something wrong, provides you with a payment set-up of your own and works with the payment provider you already use.
We face the audits, compliance and tax reviews for you, and pay any fines if we get something wrong.
We believe you should never have to deal with other sellers’ risk. That’s why you get your own payment setup with Outpost.
Keep your own payment provider, or we plug directly into your orchestrator. No payments integration required.
Setup
Your buyer pays like a local, Outpost pays the tax in the country, and you get paid in your own currency to pay your sellers as you do today.
