Introduction to STOX2026-06-24T01:33:43+03:00

What is STOX?

STOX is a company specializing in e-commerce fulfillment services. We provide warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, shipping, returns management, and cash collection solutions, helping online store owners focus on growing their businesses and increasing sales while we handle all operational processes.

How does STOX work?2026-06-24T01:33:43+03:00

The process begins by sending your products to STOX, where we receive, store, and manage them using an advanced system. Once a new order is placed, we pick, pack, and hand it over to the appropriate shipping carrier, while all data is updated in real time on your control panel.

What is the difference between STOX and a shipping company?2026-06-24T01:33:44+03:00

A shipping company is responsible only for transporting orders from the merchant to the customer.

Why should I use STOX instead of managing the warehouse myself?2026-06-24T01:35:51+03:00

Managing inventory, orders, shipping, and returns requires an operational team, expertise, and specialized systems. With STOX, you gain access to a fully integrated operational infrastructure, advanced technology, and a specialized team without bearing the costs of building and managing these operations yourself.

When do I need a fulfillment company?2026-06-24T01:33:45+03:00

Can I start operations on the same day the products are received?2026-06-24T01:33:41+03:00
