Passport Just Made Global Growth Easier
For ecommerce brands, international expansion has often meant navigating a maze of complexities, from tax compliance and logistics to localized operations and marketplace management. Passport, a leading global ecommerce solutions provider, is simplifying the process by acquiring Brand Access, a market leader of in-country enablement and marketplace management services.
This strategic acquisition expands Passport’s capabilities and solidifies its position as a go-to partner for brands aiming to deliver seamless, localized shopping experiences and achieve profitable global growth.

With three customizable options — cross-border solutions, in-country enablement, and marketplace management — Passport empowers brands to tailor their global expansion strategies to specific market needs.

From localized pricing and tailored storefronts to reliable delivery and compliance management, Passport Global ensures brands can act as locals in any market.
Kevin Gould, co-founder of Glamnetic beauty products, shared his excitement: “Passport and Brand Access have separately helped Glamnetic drive global growth. Bringing these two companies together — with their cross-border and in-country solutions — is a natural evolution. We’re excited to continue partnering and growing with the new Passport.”
