The determination to be boundary-defining (literally and metaphorically) is one of the core values we hold dear PageFly.
In our continuous mission of making eCommerce effortless and empowering the good people across borders to build their own online businesses, the PageFly team has recently released our Japanese version.
Japanese is now available for both App UI & app listing. With this improvement, we have hope to reach customers in the Japanese-speaking countries in a genuine and honest way. Languages will no longer be a barrier between users and our product.
Pulling off this feat would be much more difficult, without the genuine and heart-to-heart support from our amazing partner from Japan - GO RIDE.
GO RIDE is a digital creative agency consisting of marketers, designers, creators and engineers based in Japan and Los Angeles. They are authorized experts and have been lending a great hand to merchants who are either new to the business or looking to scale up their operation.

With the same common ground - both PageFly and GO RIDE aspire to empower eCommerce merchants worldwide, GO RIDE - with their goodwill and kind heart, has introduced PageFly to a lot of Japanese merchants - getting PageFly the much-needed exposure in our localization progress.

Now, if you have not noticed, the Japanese eCommerce market is growing fast, like really fast! According to data from Statista:
- Revenue in the eCommerce market in Japan is projected to reach US$112,465m in 2021 and US$143,279m by 2025, caping on an annual growth rate of 6.2%
- The market's largest segment is Food & Personal Care with a projected market volume of US$28,952m in 2021.
- The latest survey in 2020 shows that Japanese consumers are spending more money online, from an average of approximately $238 in 2018 to $305 in 2020. The number of households who purchased products/services online increased from 36.3% to 42.8%.
