I will localize your shopify store for the japanese market
About this Gig
Launch your Shopify store in Japan, in natural Japanese, checked on real screens.
I'm a native Japanese speaker based in New York, and I build Shopify stores myself. I don't just translate your text. I make the store ready for Japanese customers.
What I cover
- A Japan-readiness audit of your store (about 20 checks)
- Theme text, product pages and notification emails in natural Japanese
- Shipping, returns and privacy pages, and a Japanese legal-notice page (tokutei shotorihiki ho hyoki) formatted from the information you provide*
- Yen pricing and Shopify Markets setup (Premium)
- Japanese fonts, line breaks and mobile/desktop display fixes (Premium)
- A pre-launch QA report (Premium)
How I work
I work on a copy of your theme, never your live store, and you approve before anything goes live. I access your store through Shopify's collaborator request, never your password. I use AI tools to speed up drafts, then edit every line myself as a native speaker.
*I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. I format the information you give me; please have a professional confirm compliance. I can't promise sales or rankings. I promise accurate, natural Japanese and clear QA notes.

FAQ
Can you give legal advice about the Japanese legal-notice page?
No. I'm not a lawyer. I format the information you give me into a Japanese page. Please have a professional confirm that it meets the requirements for selling to customers in Japan.
Will my store sell more in Japan?
I can't promise sales. I make your store clear and natural for Japanese customers, so they don't hesitate at checkout, and I give you a written list of what I changed.
Do you work on platforms other than Shopify?
This gig is for Shopify. For WordPress, app store pages or other platforms, please message me first so I can confirm the scope.
Will my live store be affected while you work?
No. I work on a copy of your theme and you approve it before it goes live. I use Shopify's collaborator request, never your password.
Do you use AI?
I use AI tools to speed up first drafts, then I edit and check every line myself as a native Japanese speaker. If you prefer no AI at all, tell me before we start.
