SAZO Begins Collaboration with Rakuten Rakuma for Korean Market

SAZO, the cross-border e-commerce service, has started a collaboration with Rakuten Rakuma, the flea market service operated by Rakuten Group, targeting the Korean market. Through API integration, Korean users can purchase Rakuten Rakuma products via SAZO. SAZO's AI automatically calculates shipping costs and customs duties, and its Korean-based customer support handles local inquiries. Marketing activities using SAZO's local expertise are also planned.

As the cross-border e-commerce market expands, SAZO has partnered with Rakuten Rakuma to target Korean buyers. SAZO's AI system calculates exchange rates, international shipping, and customs duties automatically, making the purchase process feel like a domestic e-commerce site. The company also has a customer support base in Korea staffed by native Korean speakers. In this collaboration, product information from Rakuten Rakuma will be translated into Korean and displayed on SAZO. Orders are shipped to SAZO's domestic warehouse, inspected, packed, and then sent internationally. SAZO handles all shipping procedures and user inquiries.
