Leading Ecommerce Merchandising Solutions for International Stores

What international stores need from merchandising

• Multi-language search and ranking. Query understanding in each language, not just translation layered on top.
• Multi-currency display. Prices in local currency without losing margin-tier ranking logic.
• Regional catalogue variation. Different products available per country, with merchandising respecting that.
• Per-country ranking rules. Bestseller in DE doesn't mean bestseller in JP.
• Local payment and shipping context. Ranking shouldn't push products with unavailable shipping options.
