Somewhere between finding a promising supplier and actually getting approved to sell their products, you will likely be asked to fax something. It might be a signed reseller agreement, a completed W-9, a copy of your resale certificate, or a credit application for a wholesale account. If you have never dealt with this kind of […]

The first time a supplier or a bank asks you to fax something, it can feel like a genuine roadblock if you have never owned a fax machine and have no intention of buying one. The good news is that sending a fax without any physical hardware takes only a few minutes once you know […]

If you only need to send a fax a handful of times a year, paying $15 or $20 a month for a service built around a call center’s paperwork volume makes no sense. A lot of ecommerce sellers I have coached get stuck here: they need to fax one signed supplier agreement or one W-9 […]

If you run an ecommerce business, you have probably assumed you would never need a fax machine again.

Nextiva takes the same all-in-one approach as RingCentral, bundling fax capability, often branded vFax, into a broader business communications platform covering phone, video, and customer engagement tools.

RingCentral is not a fax company. It is a full business communications platform, covering phone, video, team messaging, and fax as one feature bolted onto a much bigger product. FAX.PLUS by Alohi is the opposite: a tool built entirely around doing one thing well. Deciding between them comes down to a simple question that most […]

MetroFax built its entire brand identity around being the budget option in the online fax category, and for sellers watching every single dollar of monthly operating cost, that positioning is genuinely appealing on the surface. But cheap and cost-effective are not always the same thing once you factor in page ceilings, feature gaps, and how […]

eFax is the name most people think of first when they hear “online fax,” simply because it has been around the longest. FAX.PLUS by Alohi is the newer, leaner alternative built specifically for businesses that want a modern interface and straightforward pricing without the baggage of a legacy platform. If you are trying to decide […]

FAX.PLUS by Alohi is a strong choice for most ecommerce sellers who need to send the occasional supplier agreement or licensing document, but it is not the only option, and it is not always the right fit. Maybe you need deeper integration with a phone system you already pay for, maybe your volume is low […]
