As you seek to grow your brand, the ability to expand into international markets is critical in today’s global economy. However, international expansion is a complex undertaking. PFS’ simplified cross-border approach leveraging our European fulfillment network, Merchant of Record (MoR) services and unmatched eCommerce experience relieves you of the headaches that come with taking on new markets. Easily expand your reach to new regions, whether that’s in Europe or across the globe through our expert-guided, strategic approach to international eCommerce expansion.  

Simplifying VAT processing with Merchant of Record (MoR) services

The VAT tax requirements for European eCommerce fulfillment can be extremely complicated and difficult to manage. PFS’ MoR services streamline VAT processing. Acting as the MoR, PFS buys the product from your business at the time of the sale, immediately and transparently selling it to the customer. This means we are responsible for taxes and duties requirements, not the brand.
