Multi-region, US vs EU vs UK (different telehealth laws)?

Grooming products move across borders easily. Telehealth does not.

Grooming products (razors, beard oil, body groomer, skincare without prescription):

  • Standard cosmetic / consumer-product rules per region. EU: CPNP notification (cosmetic product notification portal) per product. UK: same as EU post-Brexit, separate notification. Australia: TGA cosmetic vs therapeutic-goods split.
  • VAT registration thresholds: EU €10k IOSS for cross-border; UK £0 (must register from first sale to UK); Australia AUD 75k.
  • Multi-region store views in Magento: separate currency (USD / GBP / EUR / AUD), separate price visibility (VAT-included for EU + UK, VAT-excluded for US + AU), region-specific PDPs if claims differ.

Telehealth (hair loss, ED, skincare prescription):

  • US: state-by-state prescriber licensure, handled by Wheel / SteadyMD / OpenLoop. Most populous states first (CA, TX, NY, FL).
  • UK: different regulator (GMC for doctors, GPhC for pharmacists). Numan and Manual are the UK Hims equivalents. Don’t reuse US prescriber-network in UK; partner separately.
  • EU: per-country licensure, even within EU. Germany: Spring and ZAVA. France: telehealth is heavily regulated under Ameli. The Netherlands: more open.
  • Australia: AHPRA-registered prescribers required. Pilot and Mosh are the AU equivalents.

Roll-out: start US-only for telehealth (largest market, simplest model). Add UK once you have $5M+ US run-rate. EU country-by-country, starting with Germany (largest market) or NL (easiest regulatory). Don’t try to launch telehealth in 8 countries simultaneously, you’ll burn cash on regulatory work that takes 6-12 months per country.

Magento Multi-Source Inventory handles the warehouse routing; the telehealth complexity lives in the prescriber-network + pharmacy partner contracts, not in Magento.
