Building A Cross-Border E-commerce System That Just Works
A new cross-border e-commerce system has been developed to assist digital creators from various countries in selling their products online. The system addresses the limitations of existing platforms by incorporating a modular payment system that accommodates diverse payment methods and currencies. Following its deployment, the system has shown significant improvements in performance and scalability, allowing creators from over 50 countries to engage in the global digital economy.
- ▪The previous attempt to integrate existing e-commerce platforms with popular payment gateways failed due to high error rates and inadequate performance.
- ▪The newly designed system utilizes a microservices architecture and cloud-based services to enhance scalability and reliability.
- ▪Post-deployment, the average latency improved to 200 milliseconds, and error rates decreased by 95%, supporting over 10,000 transactions per minute.
