One of the world’s major consumer markets
Selling in Japan is worth considering for many international ecommerce merchants. It’s a large and active consumer market. If you’re already selling into Japan, you may be happy with your sales figures. However, you may have noticed that your Japanese, and your international traffic in general, converts at a much lower conversion rate than your domestic traffic, even in markets that share the same language. The likely reason for this is that, even if your site and product descriptions are in the same language, you may not have addressed many of the other components of localization, that will impact conversion rate.
Store translation
The language spoken in Japan is Japanese and the currency is Yen. The country code top-level domain is .jp and calling code +81. Translating and localizing your ecommerce store is essential for global success. It breaks down language barriers, builds trust, and creates a personalized shopping experience. Speaking your customers' language fosters engagement, loyalty, and expansion across borders. On average Glopal customers that translate their store for international markets see an increase in conversion rate of over 30%..gif?width=300&name=%23171b25%20(6).gif)

Duties & taxes
In order to ensure a seamless buying experience and reliable delivery times for Japanese buyers it is a good idea to consider calculating and displaying all local taxes and duties up front. This involves assigning relevant HS codes to all your products and then using those to calculate the taxes and duties that need to be applied to a specific product. This is an arduous manual task, but can be automated using Glopal’s HS Classification tool..gif?width=300&name=Copy%20of%20Untitled%20Design%20(15).gif)
