We're bringing on a small group of US ↔ EU brands and sellers as design partners. You help shape how trust gets built into the marketplace, and you're first in line to sell on it. No cost, no lock-in, just a real seat at the table.
We're keeping the first group small and deliberate, so every partner actually shapes the product. Here's who fits.
A design partnership isn't a contract you sign and forget. It's a relationship that grows into selling on the marketplace.
We learn how your cross-border orders really work, where they break, and what would have to be true for you to expand with confidence. Your reality shapes what we build.
As each trust layer comes online, pricing, customs, delivery, returns, protection, you're among the first to run real orders through it and tell us what holds and what doesn't.
When the marketplace opens, design partners are first to list, with founding-partner terms and a product already shaped around how you actually sell.
The honest answers to what you're probably already wondering. No fine print, no spin.
Because you reach a market you've been avoiding, without taking on the part that makes cross-border scary. Most brands don't skip the US or EU because they don't want the customers. They skip it because customs, duties, returns, and delivery risk make it feel like more trouble than it's worth. GlobeCart handles that layer for you, so expanding stops being a gamble.
A direct line to the founder and real influence over what gets built, founding-partner terms when the marketplace opens, first access to sell into the corridor, and a trust-first way into a market you've been hesitant to enter. No cost and no lock-in. You're a partner shaping the product, not a customer being sold to.
No, and I won't pretend otherwise. We're pre-launch. What I'm offering right now is a front-row seat to shape the platform, the best terms as a first partner, and first-mover position when we open. I'd rather under-promise and earn your trust than inflate numbers I can't yet deliver. The buyers come because of distinctive brands like yours, that's the whole model.
Amazon and Alibaba solve discovery. Very few solve trust, which is the part that actually breaks cross-border. On those platforms you carry the risk yourself and pay 25–35% for it. Doing it yourself means duct-taping a store, a carrier, a customs broker, and a returns workaround, five moving parts and no one accountable when something goes wrong. GlobeCart is one marketplace that owns the whole journey, for 8–12%.
Joining as a design partner is free, with no obligation to sell later. When the marketplace opens, pricing is 8–12% all-in per transaction (vs 25–35% on the big platforms), across Starter, Growth, and Brand tiers. Your brand relationship stays yours through a branded storefront, and every transaction is protected for both sides, not weighted against the seller.
Returns are built into the platform as a structured, scenario-based system, not a margin drain you manage alone. Each return is routed by what actually happened (changed mind, damage, or fraud), with evidence-based resolution so you're not refunding blindly or eating both-way shipping by default. It's designed to protect your margin, not quietly erode it.
Very little, and that's intentional. A few honest conversations about how cross-border works for you today, occasional feedback as layers go live, and a willingness to run a real order or two when the time is right. We keep it light, a few focused conversations, not a second job.
We keep it light. A few focused conversations, not a second job. We come prepared and we follow up.
Nothing you share is used against you, resold, or made public without your say. This is a working relationship, not a data grab.
Becoming a design partner doesn't obligate you to anything. If it's a fit when we open, great. If not, no hard feelings.
Partners get the first look at every layer as it's built, and a real say in what gets built next.
"I'm not looking for logos to put on a slide. I'm looking for a handful of brands and sellers who feel the cross-border problem as sharply as I do, and who want to help fix it from the inside. If that's you, I'd genuinely like to build this with you."
Test GlobeCart's landed-cost estimates against a real shipment before making any commitment. Run a SKU through the calculator, compare it to your actual customs invoice, and see how close we get. No signup, no obligation, just proof.
