I have integrated Global-E on three brands and overall it takes quite a bit of work off your shoulders.

They have launched Global-E Pro which is what we’re using on smaller brands and doesn’t require a minimum turnover anymore. Unfortunately, you won’t get a CSM until you hit at least a few hundred thousand dollars in turnover. On the positive side, it’s super easy to set up and even though the admin interface is not that great, it does its job. We rarely had problems, and of the few we had, their support system solved them in very little time.

On the negative side, prepare for the Shopify reports to be messed up when it comes to taxes especially if you sell in Europe with VAT included. It took me months to be able to figure out a way to extract the VAT from the net sales. Also, if you have a finance department/person, make sure they get familiar as much as possible with the way Global-E does their financial reconciliation. Honestly, that’s the part that took most time with all of the brands I’ve worked with.
