Frequently Asked Questions
Most J-Beauty ecommerce builds run 10-14 weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on catalog size, number of locales, and custom features like routine builders or subscription flows. We map this out in detail during discovery, and every project includes 30 days of post-launch support.
Shopify Hydrogen suits brands that need a fast launch and want access to an established app ecosystem. A custom Next.js build with headless commerce fits brands that need unique UX patterns -- ingredient engines, ritual builders, that kind of thing. We recommend the right approach based on your catalog complexity and where you're headed.
Yes. We build multilingual storefronts with independent editorial control per locale through a headless CMS. Each language version has proper hreflang tags, locale-specific SEO metadata, and content that's been written or reviewed for cultural fit -- not run through a translation API. We support Japanese, English, and additional languages as needed.
We structure ingredient data using INCI nomenclature with fields for concentrations, sourcing origin, function descriptions, and related skin concerns. This powers faceted search, filtering, and ingredient-focused product pages. Your team manages it through the CMS -- no developer needed for updates.
Yes. We build subscription management that lets customers set per-product replenishment cadences, pause or skip deliveries, swap products, and manage their routine. This works with Shopify Subscriptions, Recharge, or custom subscription logic depending on your platform.
We integrate cross-border commerce tools that calculate duties and taxes at checkout, show prices in local currency, and connect to international carriers. Customers see the full landed cost before they buy. That transparency makes a measurable difference in cart abandonment for international orders.
