What is e-CROSS?

e-CROSS is a cross-border platform that enables merchants to sell their products via the Cross Border Direct to Consumer (DTC) model across multiple international sales channels:
  • merchant’s own e-commerce platforms, empowering them to sell to international customers
  • marketplaces that use e-CROSS as the Cross Border middleware to connect international merchants with a simplified onboarding process
e-CROSS APIs enable the integration of the merchant systems (e-commerce, PIM, OMS, ERP, WMS,..) with e-CROSS to manage the merchant’s products catalog, prices, inventory, orders, fulfillment, shipments, and tracking information.

Environments

e-CROSS APIs are available in two environments:
  • Production: The production environment is the default environment of your merchant account and is the one that process real catalog and orders.
  • Sandbox: The sandbox environment is a test environment that you can use to test your integrations, in a safe environment, completely isolated from the production environment.
For more information on the sandbox environment, please refer to the Sandbox environment guide.
