From "no store yet" to store opened → linked to Taviro → run by AI, all on one page. Rough time: 30 min to open Shopify + 3 min to link.
The whole flow
Order sync, ship instructions and tracking updates are automated. You still choose products, set prices and handle the initial store setup yourself (AI helps draft and suggest). No inventory, no packing, no shipping.
STEP 1: Open a Shopify store (~30 min)
Sign up at shopify.com/jp — email only, free trial, no card needed.
Pick the Basic plan; upgrade later once sales grow.
Set country = Japan, currency = JPY (Settings → Store details). Taviro products and settlements are all in yen.
Enable Shopify Payments (Settings → Payments) with your ID and bank account to accept card payments.
Add the 特定商取引法 page (legally required in Japan): business name, address, contact, return policy — see Taviro's example.
Simple shipping rates to start: flat nationwide, or free over a threshold.
Note: Shopify plan names, menus and pricing may change — confirm the current steps on Shopify's official site.
STEP 2: Open a TikTok Shop (optional channel / Taviro sync in beta, ~20 min)
Start with Shopify as your primary channel. TikTok Shop connection is available in beta. Eligible accounts can connect through TikTok's authorization flow. Available synchronization features depend on each store's settings and the current beta scope.
Click Connect Shopify store, enter your domain (mystore.myshopify.com), and approve the install on Shopify's official OAuth screen. Your password is never shared with Taviro.
Your store appears under "Connected stores" — one-click listing and automatic order sync are now live.
Repeat for additional stores; each product can target a specific store. TikTok Shop connects from the same screen (beta; available sync features depend on each store's settings and the current beta scope).
STEP 4: Have AI draft your design and copy
First connect an AI assistant via the AI Connection Guide (5 min). Then have it draft the visuals and copy — you decide what to keep and apply:
I'm opening a curated store for Japanese customers selling [e.g. Nordic kitchenware].
Give me: 5 store name ideas (easy to pronounce in Japanese), a 15-character homepage
tagline in Japanese, a 300-character brand story, and a Shopify theme color palette (HEX).
Using list_products, review my live listings and rewrite the descriptions of my top 3
sellers in benefit-first Japanese copy, formatted to paste straight into Shopify.
Paste the results into Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes → Customize. The free "Dawn" theme is plenty. Product descriptions and return policies are written automatically when you list via Taviro.
STEP 5: Control listing & unlisting with AI
Use recommend_products to pick 5 items with 30%+ margin and rising 30-day orders.
Explain each in one line; after I approve, list them with import_product_to_shop
at 2.5x cost, rounded to clean prices like ¥980 / ¥1,980.
Audit my live listings and use unlist_product_from_shop to remove anything that is
out of stock, supplier-suspended, or had 0 orders in 30 days with margin under 15%.
Report the results as a table.
When a supplier suspends a product, Taviro automatically unlists it from your store and emails you — the prompt above is for your own proactive audits.
STEP 6: Publish the legally required "Tokushoho" page
Selling to consumers in Japan legally requires a 「特定商取引法に基づく表記」(Specified Commercial Transactions Act disclosure) page on your store. In Shopify, create it under Settings → Policies or as a page linked in the footer. Copy the Japanese template below and fill in your details — the page itself must be in Japanese for Japanese consumers. This is only a sample. ※We recommend having it reviewed by a professional (administrative scrivener / lawyer) before publishing:
【特定商取引法に基づく表記】
販売業者:(your name or company)
運営責任者:(name)
所在地:(address — individuals may state it will be disclosed promptly upon request)
電話番号:(phone — same note as above allowed)
メールアドレス:(contact email)
販売価格:各商品ページに表示
商品代金以外の必要料金:送料(各商品ページに表示)、消費税
支払方法:クレジットカード等(ストアの決済手段)
支払時期:注文確定時
商品の引渡時期:注文確定後◯〜◯営業日以内に発送
返品・交換:商品到着後◯日以内に連絡。不良品・誤配送は送料当社負担で交換。
お客様都合の返品は未開封に限り可(送料お客様負担)。
※返品不可の商品は商品ページに明記します。
Keep the return terms consistent with each product's return policy on Taviro — especially items marked "no returns".
