Shopee Japan launches 9 free webinars for new cross-border sellers

Shopee Japan has started a '30-day practical learning program' for sellers newly selling on Shopee. It consists of nine free webinars over four weeks covering the basics of cross-border e-commerce.

Key points

  1. Nine free webinars over four weeks, about 45 minutes each, according to the company
  2. Topics: product selection, market expansion, logistics (SLS/SPS), free promo tools, ads, affiliate marketing, SEO, data analysis and campaign preparation
  3. No upfront registration for the whole program; sign up per session via the Zoom link in the invitation email. One-on-one support is not included

Background

Shopee runs one of the largest e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, which Japanese sellers can use as an overseas sales channel. The company says new sellers often struggle to handle product selection, logistics and marketing at once, so it built a step-by-step course.

What it means for shops

For small shops and makers wanting to try cross-border e-commerce, this is a no-cost way to see the practical workflow. The announcement comes from the company itself, and content and schedule may change.

What shops should do

  1. Pick the sessions most relevant to you (such as product selection or logistics) and attend first

Japan's new tax-free system starts Nov 1 with refund method

On November 1, 2026, Japan's tax-free shopping scheme moved from the old consumption-tax exemption at the point of sale to a refund method: eligible foreign visitors pay the tax when buying and get it back after customs approval on departure. Tax-free service provider Global Blue TFS Japan says it now covers the process from the shop counter to airport refunds (per its press release). Tax-free shops need to review their checkout steps and how they explain the process to visitors.

Tax-free sales for tourists switch to the refund method on Nov 1, with no overlap period

On November 1, 2026, Japan's consumption-tax exemption for foreign visitors moved to a "refund method". Shops sell at tax-inclusive prices, and the tax amount is refunded after customs confirms the goods left the country. There was no overlap with the old system, so shops that are not ready cannot make tax-free sales from November 1.
