Description

The realm of international e-commerce faces a significant compliance challenge. When engaging in cross-border sales, businesses are confronted with a complex web of over 14,000 constantly evolving tax jurisdictions. From the fluctuating VAT rates for digital goods in Europe to the multifaceted sales tax systems in the United States, navigating global tax regulations can become a daunting task that diverts attention from a merchant's primary operations. To address this issue, GoodVat offers a cutting-edge, developer-centric global tax calculation engine tailored to the needs of cross-border sellers, Merchant of Record (MoR) systems, and Payment Service Providers (PSPs). By effectively eliminating the barriers and uncertainties associated with international tax compliance, GoodVat empowers businesses to focus on their core activities without the burden of tax complexities. Traditionally, this essential service has been split between outdated legacy systems with antiquated technology and overly funded startups that are often unaffordable for smaller independent businesses, leaving a gap in the market for an effective solution. GoodVat aims to bridge this gap by providing reliable and accessible tax compliance tools for all e-commerce entities.

Description

Upgates is a Czech-built SaaS ecommerce platform, on the market since 2010, with over 4,300 live stores. Architecture and extensibility matter here. A real-time REST API exposes create, read, update and delete operations across products, orders, customers and stock, alongside CSV and XML import/export with a column-mapping configurator and scheduled feeds. Templates are not a black box: a visual editor sits on top, but developers can edit the source HTML, CSS and JavaScript of any template, keep graphic backups and run test versions before publishing. Multidomain/Multistore lets one installation serve several brands or countries, each on its own domain with its own language, currency, carriers, payment methods and content, while sharing stock and customer data. EU One Stop Shop VAT and VIES VAT-number validation are handled by the platform. Operationally it covers catalog and unlimited variants, a graphical configurator, order processing with invoices and credit notes, stock limits and back-in-stock alerts, loyalty points, vouchers, abandoned-cart records, reviews, SEO with sitemap.xml, robots.txt and redirects, SSL, two-factor admin login and GDPR tooling. 300+ add-ons install in one click, covering carriers, payment methods, accounting and ERP systems, marketplaces, comparison engines and marketing tools. Pricing runs from EUR 19 to EUR 139 per month, plus an Exclusive tier from EUR 420 on a dedicated server. Every tier ships all 168 functions; only limits differ. 30-day free trial.

Users can access features such as a product catalog with bulk editing capabilities, easy imports, and unlimited variants, along with a visual product configurator.
