Entering the United States one of the world’s most competitive, profitable, and demanding E-commerce markets has long been the dream of thousands of international brands. With over 260 million online shoppers, high purchasing power, and a mature digital ecosystem, the U.S. offers unparalleled growth opportunities. However, for most companies outside the country, expanding into the U.S. has traditionally required a long and expensive setup: creating a legal entity, opening a local bank account, integrating U.S. payment systems, negotiating warehousing contracts, and navigating complex logistics and regulations.
This high barrier to entry kept countless small and medium-sized businesses from accessing the most valuable E-commerce market on the planet. But the landscape has changed dramatically thanks to Kiki LATAM’s Checkout Point, a breakthrough solution powered by its integrated services that removes all the traditional obstacles and allows international E-commerce brands to sell in the United States with unprecedented ease.
The traditional barriers of selling in the U.S.
Selling to U.S. consumers has historically required:
- A U.S. company registration
- A U.S. bank account
- Local payment processing
- Compliance with tax and accounting regulations
- Operational infrastructure for warehousing and fulfillment
- Domestic returns management
- High-cost logistics contracts
- Technical integrations with local systems
For many brands, these steps required tens of thousands of dollars, months of preparation, and a long list of legal, financial, and operational requirements. As a result, entering the U.S. was considered too risky or too expensive for smaller or emerging businesses.
The Checkout Point: a new model for cross-border E-commerce
Kiki LATAM revolutionized access to the U.S. market with its Checkout Point, a system that allows international merchants to sell to American consumers without creating a U.S. entity and without opening a local bank account.
Here’s how it works:
- A U.S. customer places an order through a Checkout Point hosted by Kiki.
- Kiki collects the payment in U.S. dollars (USD) on behalf of the merchant.
- The order is automatically processed through Kiki’s integrated
- The product ships from Kiki’s U.S. facilities to the final destination.
- The merchant receives the payout in the currency of their choice including crypto.
This system eliminates the financial, legal, and operational complications that have traditionally blocked access to the U.S. market.
Logistics as the core advantage
Behind the Checkout Point is a robust logistics infrastructure that allows brands to operate in the U.S. as if they had a full domestic supply chain. Kiki LATAM’s services include:
- Warehousing in the United States.
- Automated fulfillment operations.
- Intelligent order assignment.
- Address validation systems to reduce failed deliveries.
- Efficient last-mile delivery.
- Local returns management.
- Cross-border shipping capabilities.
- Inventory visibility and tracking.
This infrastructure gives international brands the same operational strength as large U.S. retailers without requiring them to build warehouses, negotiate contracts, or hire local teams.
Flexible, global payment capabilities
One of the most powerful features of the Checkout Point is its financial flexibility. Kiki collects payments in USD and allows brands to receive their money in:
- U.S. dollars.
- Local currency.
- Stablecoins.
- Other cryptocurrencies.
This eliminates the need for U.S. banking infrastructure, simplifies accounting, and gives merchants complete control over their revenue flows.
For brands operating in regions with currency volatility, this flexibility is especially valuable, enabling them to manage exchange risk and preserve profit margins.
A faster, safer path to scaling internationally
The Checkout Point significantly reduces:
- Time to market launch in weeks, not months.
- Operational complexity no legal or banking setup required.
- Initial investment no warehouses or local teams needed.
- Risk test the U.S. market before scaling.
Instead of spending months configuring a local operation, brands can focus on what matters most: creating demand, improving product offerings, and building a strong presence in the U.S.
Ideal for testing, validating, and scaling
The Checkout Point is not only a solution for brands ready to enter the U.S.; it is also a perfect tool for:
- Product validation.
- Market research.
- Influencer-driven campaigns.
- Dropshipping-style operations.
- Expansion into other regions using the U.S. as a hub.
Once a brand gains traction, it can scale seamlessly thanks to Kiki’s integrated operational backbone.
