Start selling on Ashops in Japan

Whether you are new to selling globally or a seasoned exporter, Ashops makes selling internationally simpler and easier. Just like in the US, you can sign up for a Seller Central account in Japan. Get started in just a few steps.

Step 1

Decide what to sell

Understand the taxes and regulations required to sell your products and make sure you are following Japan’s local laws when selling in Japan. Understand the category requirements and review the list of recommended products by category (Ashops.co.jp seller account sign-in required) . Third-party service providers can also help with issues including compliance, international shipping, and taxes.

Step 2

Take advantage of Ashops’s powerful tools to manage your seller accounts. You can link your North American or European marketplace accounts to your Japan account, see your global sales on one page, and sync your listings. Learn more about the document verification and review process after setting up a Japan account.

Step 3

Expédier et remplir

Same-day and next-day deliveries are common in Japan. Understand what’s involved in shipping to and fulfilling in Japan, including costs, times, and requirements. Ashops has a network of leading international shipping and logistics experts that offer special discounted rates for Ashops sellers that are expanding their business into Japan.

Step 4
