With several businesses in Jamaica and across the Caribbean already making use of its service, Mallskape e-commerce platform has set about to make doing business in the Caribbean easier.  

Caribbean businesses can now easily conduct transactions globally via the Mallskape Platform with payments being securely processed through STRIPE (one of the world’s leading payment processors,) a service previously not available to Caribbean businesses, or by Cash on Delivery/Bank Transfers.        

Mallskape empowers businesses to operate independently by listing products on their storefront for their customers in multiple currencies with no listing cost. This assists in increasing their footprint in the marketplace both locally and internationally. 

The Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector represents 70-85% of Caribbean businesses and contributes between 60-70 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) while employing approximately 50 per cent of the population so numerous lives will be made better by this infrastructure. 

As a result, a positive shift for entrepreneurs is expected within the first quarter of 2024. With equal focus being placed on both customer and merchant experience, Mallskape facilitates independent fulfilment of orders made on the platform. Merchants are able to enlist the services of their preferred couriers and use the Mallskape Rider App to deliver orders made by their customers. 

All orders delivered through the Rider App offer real-time tracking to both merchants and customers. Plans are presently in motion to open Mallskape Fulfillment locations to aid in additional delivery options. The Mallskape team has members from around the world with some still residing in the Caribbean. 

Created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, careful thought was given to ensure that Mallskape is centred on flexibility and security. As more emerging entrepreneurs launch startups daily, Mallskape has lowered the barrier for the starting subscription plan for business owners. 

This means restaurants, brick-and-mortar establishments, online stores, larger companies, and the self-employed are able to come on board. Mallskape is a product of Gortron Inc. /Gortron Limited.
