Merchant of Record
The whole point.

You stay the brand.
We become the seller.

Operator One signs the marketplace contracts and invoices the shopper. O1 is the legal seller across the EU and the UK, with the entity, the VAT numbers, the consumer-law liability and the return obligation. We also handle the EU compliance stack (VAT, EPR, DAC7, GPSR) and act as the GPSR Responsible Person when we're your Importer of Record. You ship to one warehouse, sign one master agreement, and get one monthly settlement. That's the whole product.

2-minute explainer

How Merchant of Record actually works.

A short walkthrough of what Operator One does when a brand signs the MoR engagement — who's named on the invoice, what stays with the brand, and how the compliance stack (VAT, GPSR, EPR, DAC7) gets absorbed into one master agreement. No deck, no pitch.

  • What changes for the brand on day one — and what doesn't
  • How one entity covers 27 EU + UK marketplaces
  • Where the brand stays the owner: IP, listings, reviews, customer relationship
  • What happens at the end of the engagement (we hand everything back)

What we carry

A few of the many operations + back-office burdens we manage for you.

The lane below shows a sample — the real list is longer, and it grows with every marketplace, country and regulation. You stay in control of the brand and the strategy. We manage the execution so your team gets three things that compound: focus on the product, scalability across markets, and the growth that follows when both work together.

  • Marketplace management
  • EU + UK VAT (OSS, IOSS, our numbers)
  • Customer relationship
  • EPR & DAC7
  • Fulfilment & logistics
  • GPSR Responsible Person (when O1 is IoR)
  • Content & advertising
  • Consumer-law liability
  • Returns & customer service
  • Disputes & marketplace cases
  • IT & integrations

GPSR Responsible Person follows the importer — O1 holds the role when we're your Importer of Record. Specific responsibilities are set in your master agreement.

What we run for you

The moat is operational. Boring. And ours.

A great marketplace operator is a logistics company that runs a software company that runs an AI lab that runs a customer-service team — and a content team, a PIM team and a compliance team behind it. We're all of it. On purpose.

Channel counts reflect marketplaces O1 currently operates or supports on request. Category specialty is the editorial view of what each channel sells well today — not a guarantee your specific catalogue will fit. Live commission, fulfilment and EPR economics are quoted per brand in the business case, where they can be kept current.

Operator One is a Merchant of Record plus managed-service operation that runs your marketplace storefronts end-to-end. We handle catalogue onboarding, SEO-optimized listings per locale, fulfilment & returns, customer service, retail media, repricing, and unified reporting. You stay in the cockpit; we do the operating.
Tools give you a connector. Agencies give you people. Neither alone solves marketplaces. O1 combines the platform with a dedicated operations pod under one master agreement, and we become the legal seller, so you do not have to integrate four vendors or set up local entities.
Yes, 100%. You keep the brand, the IP and product development. Operator One is the Merchant of Record (the legal seller on the marketplace) while you remain the brand owner. The consumer transaction relationship is O1's because we're the legal seller of every order, so we handle every customer-facing post-sale touchpoint (invoicing, returns, support) as part of the MoR. If you ever leave O1, your brand, listings and brand registry stay yours.
We specialize in consumer brands across home, beauty, sports, electronics, pet, ambient food and lifestyle. We do not work with restricted categories we cannot make compliant, and we will tell you up front if your category is not a fit.
Ready when you are

Stay the brand.
Let O1 be the seller.
