Hello everyone! We at Qikify are excited to share some news about our recent activities in Japan. We've been working hard to build stronger connections with our Japanese friends in the e-commerce world.


In late July and early this August 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting two special seminars in Tokyo and Osaka. We were thrilled to welcome over 60 guests, mostly leaders and decision-makers from various companies. We were thrilled and honored to host so many important players from Japan's eCommerce world at our very first seminars in the country. It truly made our debut in Japan special!

Seminar in Tokyo 

Our Tokyo event was a team effort with our friends at Pagefly. We're grateful to LitExtension, BSS Group, and UpPromote for their support. A big thank you goes to Junichi Okamura from Shopify for joining us.

Seminar in Osaka

In Osaka, we focused on helpful tips for selling on Shopify. Again, Pagefly was by our side, with LitExtension, BSS Commerce, and UpPromote lending their support. We're incredibly grateful to Hisae Obuchi from Shopify, not only for her valuable insights as a speaker but also for her wonderful hospitality during our stay in Japan. Her support made our visit truly special.

These seminars weren't just about us sharing what we know. We learned so much from our Japanese colleagues about their needs and the challenges they face. It was a great exchange of ideas!

We also had the chance to visit some of our partners' offices. These visits gave us even more insights into the Japanese e-commerce scene.
