Exciting New Products and Initiatives Highlight a Dynamic Q2 for Digital River

Digital River, the most experienced global ecommerce enabler for established and fast-growing brands, celebrated Q2 with its biggest product release to date, continued growth in partnerships and new customers, as well as an outreach campaign intended to enable more brands to embark on their direct to consumer journey and accelerate global growth.

Digital River's new B2C LINK cartridge is now live on the Salesforce Marketplace, allowing Salesforce B2C brands to integrate Digital River's Payments & Risk solution into their commerce platform to accelerate global expansion. This means mid-market to enterprise-level brands selling direct to consumers can keep their platform of choice and rely on Digital River's expertise to handle back office functions with a single solution.

"We believe brands should focus on what they know best ? their products and their customers," explained Digital River CEO Adam Coyle. "Our new LINK cartridge helps brands to confidently enter new global markets, build the experience they want for their customers, and have peace of mind knowing that we are here to handle the complexity of taxes, payments, fraud and compliance with a solution that fits easily into their ecosystem."

More Brands, New Stores

The second quarter brought new implementations of Digital River's back of office Payments and Risk solution for ecommerce brands including:

• Red Giant, owned by Maxon Computer, and offering software solutions for broadcast, film and visual design, has launched its ecommerce stores in four countries using Digital River's solutions through an API integration with its own internal commerce systems.

Innovation for Ecommerce Success

• Simplified Payments Enablement ? Digital River rolled out a new payment integration for customers called "Drop-in". It offers our customers a fast and easy way to add new payment methods to their ecommerce stores. With Drop-in, ecommerce merchants can quickly enable localized payment methods and begin accepting payments on their websites with little or no customization, allowing them to stay up to date with changing customer expectations.
• New and Improved Documentation ? Digital River has released new and improved documentation surrounding our APIs and how to use them to implement back office capabilities. This documentation can be accessed directly on our website.

Ecommerce live event series ? Digital River created a masterclass series of live and on-demand events designed to help merchants learn more about selling on a global scale, as well as how to navigate retail disruption by building a strong direct to consumer channel. To date, Digital River has brought together more than two dozen of the industry's best ecommerce experts to share best practices and insight on topics ranging from payment optimization, global localization, customer acquisition strategies, and more.
