Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, you do not. While there may be limitations, you will be able to have a shoppable online store in Japan, and ship to Japan or get support to fulfill orders domestically.
-
It depends. At minimum, Japanese texts should be professionally translated (we can help with that) because there are always issues with automatic/A.I. translations.
The reason is that the grammar of the translated text is aligned with Japanese, but the meaning is aligned with the original English and not the target Japanese customer.
Other factors to consider include if your site’s foreign U.I. affects sales conversions by Japanese shoppers, and if your site’s original text is often changed as new texts may not properly display in Japanese.
-
Before we start, we will jump on an alignment call to make sure we’re on the same page and are ready to go.
The Shopify store setup takes up to 2 months. It may be faster if you already have website texts, photos, logos, etc.
For those opting for the support plan, this will begin once the Shopify store is completed and will continue for 12 months. Up to 8 hours of support is included, and covers site maintenance and updates (including new products), Japanese inquiries, and Japanese market consulting.
-
We can do both. If you’re looking for a multilingual Shopify store, we will design it so that it works for both Japanese and general customers.
-
Yes, we can. While there may be limitations depending on your situation (if you have a Japanese bank account, etc.), we help to make your Japanese Shopify store as localized as possible.
-
For our Localized Site package, we charge 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. For our Localized Site + Ongoing Support package, we charge 50% upfront, 50% at the midpoint.
We accept wire transfers, local bank transfers, and credit card payments (3% processing fee). Billing is done in USD.
