Mağazanolsun unveils a 45-language AI tool, what does an e-export consortium offer SMEs?

According to the company, MAI answers customer questions in 45 European languages, produces marketplace content and social media campaigns, and creates 3D product models. These abilities have not been independently tested. Which technology the tool runs on and how many businesses use it have not been disclosed either.

The Ministry’s list dated 11 September 2026 includes 11 companies with e-export consortium status. The status is still being granted during 2026. You can read the list directly in the Ministry of Trade’s e-export consortium document.

Mağazanolsun offers a service that sets businesses up with a ready-made online store backed by a supplier network. The company website shows a starting price of TL 50,000 as a one-off fee. That figure is for the starter package; ask separately about the price of the e-export service.

Product quality, continuity of stock and cost calculation stay with the producer. A consortium opens the sales channel, but it cannot sell a product that just sits on the shelf. A producer that misses delivery times loses even the best channel.

The Ministry presentation lists items such as digital marketplace promotion, order fulfilment, overseas warehouse rent, marketplace commissions and integration. Amounts and rates depend on the regulations in force. Verify with the official source; this is not legal or financial advice.

If you join directly, warehousing, returns, language and tax all stay with you. In the consortium model that load is shared, but so are some decisions and part of the margin. The question of joining new European marketplaces such as easyShop directly means putting these two routes side by side.

Renting an overseas warehouse and setting up multilingual customer service is more than a single workshop can handle. A consortium that serves several producers can spread these fixed costs. The load per product can then fall.

For a business that has built its own channel, a consortium can also mean handing over control. Who keeps pricing, promotions and customer data should be written clearly in the contract. A brand that loses its customer data loses the second order too.

Couriers, customs brokers, product photographers and translation services may see new work. Stores feel it too: a retailer selling winter outerwear needs the same care in its store and online shop window checks when it moves into an overseas channel.

A person should check the size chart, material statement and return terms in every language. A bad translation can push up your return rate. The tool adds speed; the responsibility stays with the seller.

Where shoppers cannot touch a product, they want visual reassurance. A 3D model may show size and texture better, which can make the add-to-cart decision easier. The company has not published results for this feature, so you need to test its effect on your own products.

Because the 45-language ability is a company claim without independent confirmation. Ask for a trial with a handful of your own products and real customer questions. Compare the answers with what a native speaker would write before you put the tool in front of buyers.

Ask in writing for the set-up fee, monthly fee, share per sale and warehouse charge as separate items. A single all-in price can lead to extra items later. It should also be clear which country each item applies to.

Support can lower the consortium’s costs, but it may not mean a direct payment to the producer. Ask who receives the support and how it shows up in your price. Verify this with the official source and your accountant.

Products with small shipping volume, low return risk and high margins suit a first test. A product with many variants makes stock tracking in an overseas warehouse harder. Pick the simplest SKUs in your range.

Ask in whose name the customer data and the store account are opened. What happens to that data when the contract ends should be in writing. Company CEO Yasemin Çil told HardwareLab that e-exporting “will become as easy as a click”; the click may be easy, but reading the contract is still your job.

Look at the Ministry of Trade’s published list of companies with e-export consortium status. The list shows company names, not brand names, so check separately which company owns the brand.

Support items are defined through the consortium, and amounts depend on the regulations in force. Ask the consortium in writing how the support shows up in your price, and verify it with the official source.

If you cannot set up warehousing, languages and returns on your own, a consortium can be a sensible start. Before deciding, work out your margin per product after the service fee.
