Agentis Solution
Protect Margins on Every Cross-Border Transaction
Factor live FX rates, duties, tariffs, and international freight into every checkout. Agentis prevents cross-border orders from shipping below your profit floor.
The Problem
International ecommerce is a margin minefield. FX rates fluctuate daily, duty and tariff schedules change with trade policy, international freight costs vary by carrier and destination, and DDP vs. DAP shipping models shift cost responsibility unpredictably. Most merchants price international orders based on static assumptions (a fixed FX buffer, estimated duties, averaged freight rates) that diverge from reality within weeks. The result: cross-border orders that look profitable at the time of sale are underwater by the time they’re fulfilled.
How Agentis Solves It
Agentis evaluates every cross-border checkout against live FX rates, real-time duty and tariff calculations by destination country, and current international freight costs by carrier and zone. Instead of relying on static buffers, every order is scored against actual costs at the moment of purchase. When an order’s true landed cost would breach your configured profit floor, Agentis enforces your action: adjusting pricing, flagging the order, or blocking the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Agentis handle FX rate fluctuations?
Agentis integrates live FX rate feeds and evaluates the currency-adjusted cost of every international order at the moment of checkout. This replaces the static FX buffers most merchants use, which can be 5–10% off actual rates within days of being set.
Does Agentis calculate duties and tariffs automatically?
Yes. Agentis factors in duty and tariff rates by destination country and product classification (HS code) at checkout. When trade policy changes (such as new tariffs on specific product categories) the calculations update automatically.
Can I set different profit floors for different countries?
Yes. Agentis supports per-country and per-region profit floor configuration. Markets with higher freight and duty costs can have adjusted thresholds to reflect the true cost of serving those destinations.
