mPorts Commerce Network
The mPorts Commerce Network links overseas brands with the U.S. marketplaces, retailers, dealers and partners they need to sell here.Cloudway Fulfillment runs the warehouse and fulfillment in Hayward, CA; mPorts is the software that connects orders and inventory across channels; and independent partners provide services like freight, listings or professional help through introductions. Every introduction depends on product fit and partner approval.
Who is in the network
Brands
Product companies, many based overseas, that want to sell in the U.S. and need a place to store, ship and manage orders.
Retailers and dealers
Stores and dealer networks that buy products wholesale or list them through a retail program.
Marketplaces
Online sites where brands list products and the marketplace sends the orders, such as Amazon, Walmart or Wayfair.
Technology partners
Software that sits around mPorts — storefronts, accounting, product data — so information does not have to be retyped.
Logistics partners
Freight, parcel and import-side providers that move goods into and out of the warehouse.
Channel and service partners
Specialists a brand may need along the way, such as listing help or professional services, offered as partner introductions.

Two ways in
For brands
You make products and want to sell them in the U.S. Cloudway runs fulfillment from Hayward, CA, mPorts keeps orders and inventory in sync across your channels, and the network can introduce you to retail, marketplace and service partners when your products qualify.

You are a retailer, dealer, marketplace, technology, logistics or service provider that works with brands entering the U.S. Tell us what you offer and which brands you are looking for; we review each partner before making introductions.
Apply as a partnerWhat decides an introduction
Being in the network does not guarantee a listing, a retail program or a partner. Each introduction is checked against these points first:
Product fit
The product can be stored and shipped safely from our warehouse and suits the channel.
Category
Some categories are restricted or need extra approval on certain channels.
Compliance
Labeling, safety and import requirements for the product are met before it ships.
Program availability
A retail or marketplace program has to be open to new sellers in that category.
Partner approval
Retailers, marketplaces and service partners make their own decisions about who they work with.
Supported channels
