Cloud-based ecommerce platform Kooomo has waived its set-up fees to help retailers sell online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company which has offices in England, Ireland, Spain and Italy, normally operates on a revenue-share model once a merchant is set-up.
These set-up fees usually cost around €40,000, but during the coronavirus crisis the firm said its only cost to the retailer will be "a fixed fee or revenue share on goods sold."
Kooomo added that its aim in doing so is to “help retailers who have faced some of the most difficult trading times in history. This support will enable any retailer medium or large to get their products online without incurring any costs.”
