Existing Problems
goArica's founders came to Clarity with a dream to re-create an Alibaba.com for Africa. After living and working for decades in Africa, they wanted to open the markets there to make it easier for local businesses to sell their goods and services, as well as make it easy for global suppliers to get their goods into Africa. Aside from not knowing how to provide a global marketplace in many languages and currencies, they didn't know how to handle the potentially huge payments securely (eg. Kenya purchases a $500,000 Combine from Komatsu in Japan, etc.). How does either the purchaser or supplier guarantee that the order will either be paid for or be shipped as expected?

Our Solutions
Clarity eCommerce was first integrated with Payoneer, which provides the escrow account for global transfers. Clarity added in their multistore and multilingual modules, which allows each supplier or seller to sign up for their own store, upload their products, set pricing, add images, descriptions, etc. and even have a live chat interface to chat with potential purchasers if they want. A 3rd party API was integrated to get real-time currency conversion rates so as a user checks out, it requests the conversion rate at that moment to ensure properly calculated transactions. In order to help showcase their companies (buyers, suppliers), Clarity added in a business Directory. Clarity also implement CORS, so that the client could integrate their own WordPress front-end marketing website, which could display our .NET menu, featured products and more.
