Revenue Earned. Revenue Kept.

The Margin Leakage Nobody Budgeted For

International commerce creates revenue. It also creates leakage at every stage of the transaction. 

It starts at checkout. Unfamiliar payment experiences drive abandonment. Shoppers who see foreign currencies, missing local payment methods or unclear pricing leave before converting. 

It continues through payment processing. Transactions routed through the wrong networks decline unnecessarily. Approval rates that would be acceptable domestically become revenue loss at international volume. 

It compounds after the sale. Fraud and chargebacks erode what was captured. Inaccurate duty and tax calculations create unexpected costs and refund requests. Fulfilment inefficiencies chip away from the other end. 

Each of these is manageable in isolation. Together they create a gap between gross revenue and realised margin that widens with every market added. Not because pricing is wrong, but because the commercial disciplines behind it are not coordinated. 

The Workflows That Protect What You Actually Keep

ESW improves international margins by coordinating the commercial disciplines that influence how much revenue reaches your bottom line. 

Localised checkout improves payment success and conversion by presenting familiar currencies, payment methods and transparent pricing across markets. Payment routing through local networks and approval rate management reduces the transactions lost to unnecessary declines. 

Fraud detection embedded in the checkout model protects captured revenue without introducing the friction that pushes buyers away. Accurate duty and tax calculation at point of sale prevents the unexpected charges and refund requests that erode margins after the order ships. 

These capabilities run within one coordinated model, so an improvement in conversion does not create a compliance gap, and a fraud decision accounts for its impact on the transaction it protects.

Trusted by Brands Where Margin Performance Is Non-Negotiable

ESW supports global retailers managing complex commerce operations across 200+ international markets, where realised margin depends on coordinated execution across checkout, payments, fraud and pricing.  

• Localised checkout and payment optimisation across markets 
• Fraud protection and chargeback management 
• Accurate duty and tax calculation at point of sale
• Coordinated financial settlement and reporting

One Model That Protects What You Earn.

Localised Checkout and Pricing  

Checkout that adapts to local currencies, payment methods and languages across markets. Transparent total pricing — including duties, taxes and shipping — presented before the shopper commits. Conversion improves because the experience feels local and the cost is clear. 

Payment Optimisation  

Local payment methods and performance management reduce failure rates. Revenue that would otherwise be lost to declined transactions is captured rather than written off. 

Fraud and Risk Management  

Fraud detection and chargeback management built into the checkout model. Revenue is protected without introducing the friction that undermines high-value transactions. Exposure stays predictable as volume grows. 

Duty and Tax Accuracy  

Accurate duty and tax calculation prevents the unexpected charges, refund requests and shopper disputes that erode margins after the order ships. Getting the number right at checkout eliminates the cost of getting it wrong after. 

Global Financial Settlement  

Centralised settlement and reporting across markets and currencies. Your commercial team sees which markets, channels and products are generating the strongest realised margins without reconciling across fragmented providers.

The Difference Between Revenue Growth and Margin Growth

Payment tools, fraud tools and tax vendors each optimise their own piece in isolation, but none share data with the others. 

Revenue Disciplines That Share the Same Data

A payment tool improves approval rates in isolation. A fraud tool manages chargebacks in isolation. A tax vendor manages duty calculation in isolation. None share data. 

ESW coordinates all of them within one model. A payment routing decision accounts for its compliance implications. A fraud decision factors in the transaction value it is protecting. Improvements in one area do not create leakage in another. 

One Framework Across the Full Transaction Lifecycle

Margin erosion is not usually caused by one thing failing. It is caused by several things failing to connect across checkout, payment processing, fraud management, compliance and settlement. 

ESW coordinates across the full lifecycle rather than optimising one stage while the others leak.

What Margin Discipline Delivers at Scale

When checkout, payments, fraud management and compliance accuracy work as one coordinated system, four things change. 

Higher Realised Revenue

Improved payment success, reduced fraud exposure and accurate pricing increase the proportion of revenue captured from every transaction. The gap between what you sell and what you keep narrows. 

Reduced Revenue Leakage

Coordinated workflows eliminate the hidden inefficiencies that quietly erode margins. Payment declines, pricing errors and settlement delays stop compounding across markets. 

More Predictable Profitability

Your commercial team forecasts international performance with confidence because the disciplines behind revenue realisation are coordinated rather than scattered across independent providers. 

Margin Protection That Scales

New markets expand revenue without multiplying the leakage that fragmented operations create. The disciplines that protect margin in existing markets extend automatically to every new one.
