The Opportunity

Problem

High shipping costs to EU customers make it impossible for remote merch sellers to achieve profitability while scaling sales.

Solution

EUPriceGuard is a Shopify/Etsy app that auto-adjusts product prices for EU visitors to bundle in shipping, maintaining your margins. It uses geo-IP detection and A/B tests optimal markups. Sellers get checkout analytics showing higher EU sales without profit loss.
