OpenBorder
OpenBorder is the growth platform for DTC brands expanding internationally. We handle the tax & duty calculation, product compliance, payments, and growth strategy that turn international from a side experiment into a real revenue line.
OpenBorder helps DTC brands scale international revenue from under 5% to 40%+ of their total revenue. We sit between the brand's storefront and the rest of the world, covering Seller of Record and Merchant of Record services, DDP checkout, localized store, local payment entities, international marketplaces, local fulfillment, and returns. It is a single stack that replaces the patchwork of point solutions most brands cobble together when they go global.
Most DTC brands hit a wall the moment they try to scale beyond the US or UK. Checkout shows the wrong currency, duties and taxes get sprung on customers at the door, marketplaces like Amazon UK and TikTok Shop sit untouched, returns are a black hole, and no one owns international as a growth function. Brands either stay stuck under 5% international or spend 6 to 9 months stitching together IOR providers, tax tools, 3PLs, and freelance market managers before they ship a single order. With OpenBorder, brands launch within 2 weeks and get a dedicated growth team that runs the channel like an extension of their own team.
Ship new and long-tail SKUs through Portless, while OpenBorder handles localized checkout, DDP, and destination-market compliance so the customer experience matches a domestic order.
Use Portless for cash-light outbound lanes and OpenBorder's local warehouses in the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia for high-velocity bestsellers.
Portless keeps DTC fulfillment lean. OpenBorder opens Amazon UK, EU, Mexico, and TikTok Shop UK on top, so brands grow the same catalogue across channels without setting up local entities.
Portless ships out; OpenBorder takes returns back in via local hubs in Canada, Europe, the UK, and Australia, providing a domestic returns experience.
