(in English), sees prices in their local currency, pays via Apple Pay, Stripe, or PayPal, and receives
shipping from Japan Post or DHL Japan with tracking. All payments go to our Japanese bank
account. There is no Japanese checkout or domestic gateway required.

Nice to Have:- Experience working with Japanese servers/hosting.- SEO understanding for global reach (EN only).- Experience with WooCommerce Multisite.
