Imagine you are in house at a digital/eCommerce company and your business team approaches you with plans to start selling internationally. They regale you with grand promises from global payment providers: "They'll take care of everything—local website, language translation, exchange rate, payment facilitation, etc. It's plug and play!" Not so fast. Before you get moving, there are a myriad of other essential pieces to consider: Will you be shipping physical products - if so, how and from where? Have we thought about customs duties, local product regulations, corporate tax implications, terms and conditions, and IP rights? Are there marketing and advertising restrictions in local countries? What data protection and security issues will we face? Join this session to delve into the many issues consumer-facing companies should address when seeking to expand globally.
