What Digital River is
Digital River provides payment and commerce services for businesses selling internationally. Its merchant-of-record model takes on financial and legal responsibilities for a business, while the company says it supports sales in 240+ markets. The service addresses localized payment processing, taxes, fraud, and regulatory compliance. Integration choices include low-code checkouts, direct API connections, and commerce-platform connectors for Adobe Commerce, Salesforce B2C, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce. It offers recurring payments, sales tax tools, and API access. Local pricing can convert amounts for selected countries and currencies, apply country-specific tax rates, and use configured rounding rules. Digital River says it is a Level 1 PCI-compliant service provider and tokenizes customer information through secure payment fields. Pricing is on request from Digital River Sales. The BigCommerce integration supports multiple shipments to one destination, but not one order split across different destinations.
