This Shopify interview will be especially interesting for merchants that are selling into international markets, and also merchants who are manufacturing, or purchasing from international markets. So, that’s pretty much every online store, like, ever, right? Pretty much. The way customers are able to transact with online businesses that are not based in their country can be crucial to the whole transaction process. Reach is here to make that easy for customers and deliver big business advantages to merchants.

With an open API, Reach focuses on delivering seamless shopping experiences for merchants and their customers, around the globe. Payment systems are optimised locally to minimise fees and risks, and allow merchants to deliver more competitive pricing with guaranteed transactionals security.

Reach is a Candian company, based in Calgary, Alberta and working with partners and merchants around the world.

Matthew has been with Reach since 2016 and has progressed through roles including Business development Manager, Product Owner and now Vice President.

With a background including roles as a global payments analyst for GRIN (Global Retail Insights Network) and a foreign exchange broker for FXCM, he has the perfect background for Reach and working in online payments for ecommerce businesses around the world.

The Cut has a huge thank you to Matthew and the Reach team, for giving up time to share their insights into what Reach offers, international commerce, covid, and more. Thank you to Matthew Steinbrecher, Vice President of Platforms & Partnerships at Reach.
