Selling your software online sounds simple, but the logistics can turn out to be more time and effort than you bargained for. If you’d like a little help, that’s what we’ve been doing for over 13 years. Founded in 1994 as an online store reseller and outsourcer, Kagi is committed to helping you, as a software vendor, offer your products online and gain access to world-class services that keep your business growing.

We have 5 key areas where we help you:

We Help You to Attract More Customers
We support payments from over 80 countries currently. Your store on Kagi has an integrated shopping cart that automatically presents the language and currency of a buyer, something that has been shown to increase the percentage of shoppers that turn into buyers. We also have a broad range of payment options including PayPal, wires, checks and purchase orders that help you appeal to the widest possible market.

More payment options = more customers = more money in your pocket.

We Help You Reduce Expenses
Kagi relieves you of expenses related to routine order questions, automatically does sales tax calculations and filings, VAT payments, partner/vendor payment splits, calculation and payment of royalties, commissions, and affiliate payments. We function as a virtual back office staff.

Outsourced tasks = fewer dollars spent on accountants and support staff = more profit for you.

We Help You Sell More
Kagi constantly looks for the best partners, services, tools and information available to help you market and sell your products. We do the research and absorb much of the technical and financial burden of 3rd party relationships to provide you with opportunities that might not be available to you on your own. Kagi serves as a marketing consulting team, delivering opportunities to your door.

More promotional opportunities = more visibility = more sales $

We Help Protect You from Fraud
You can set your own fraud filters for any dollar amount or any country of origin that you wish, using the standard order approval capability. Additionally, Kagi has accumulated 10+ years of purchase data and developed sophisticated processes to alert you to suspicious purchase activity.

Less fraud = more sales $ to your bottom line = better profit margins

We Give You the Support You Need
Operating an online store can sometimes be a baffling and frustrating experience. Often cookie cutter solutions won’t fit your growing needs. And sometimes having a conversation can make all the difference between success and failure. So, if you want to talk, we’ll not only listen, we’ll help you find solutions. You can rely on Kagi’s friendly account management team, technical support team and all of Kagi to be there to help you through the challenges of selling online, from setup to store launch and beyond.

Interaction with intelligent, supportive others = best chance of being more profitable
