Today, Degica announces the launch of Unipostal, a logistics solution designed to enable merchants in Japan to rapidly and easily generate shipping labels for domestic orders.
The solution is now available on Wix, a leading global SaaS platform that enables its users to create, manage and grow an online presence.
“At Degica, our mission is to make Japan simple and create an even and global marketplace for goods and services,” says Jack Momose, CEO, Degica. “Our first step in this respect was to remove barriers to payment between different countries and cultures through our payments platform KOMOJU, and today I’m proud to be unveiling our next step: helping Japanese clients fulfil those orders in a faster, smoother and more efficient way.”
Unipostal represents an improvement in terms of efficiency for Japanese merchants using Wix Stores. Before the introduction of the solution, generating and printing labels for customer deliveries required some effort, with merchants having to go to the Wix dashboard, select the relevant data from the Orders tab, download a CSV file, and then process it to make it fit the format of the shipping label provided by the Japan Post for printing.
With Unipostal, however, Degica reduces this burden of the merchants for delivery operations. Available for download via the Wix App Market, the Unipostal app can be synchronised with orders on the Wix Stores dashboard in a single click – enabling merchants to create the shipping labels simply by selecting the relevant order and setting the delivery date. The app also generates a unique tracking number for each order, facilitating real-time, at-a-glance updates on the shipping status. Merchants using Wix Stores in Japan can also trial the Unipostal app before committing to any additional cost.
“I’m pleased to announce that Wix is now offering Degica’s new Unipostal app on the Wix App Market,” says Hideaki Tsumita, Country Manager, APAC & Japan at Wix. “We received many requests from Japanese merchants to help them simplify the delivery process, and, with this solution, we are responding to those users. Wix will continue to provide eCommerce features that meet the needs of the Japan market in cooperation with our partners, including Degica.”
Unipostal is the latest in a line of tools offered by Degica to make life easier for merchants selling internationally. These include KOMOJU – a payments platform that enables businesses to accept a broad range of popular payment methods in different countries around the world, including unique markets such as Japan, Korea and China.
About Degica
Degica’s mission is to create a fair, global marketplace for goods and services – breaking down barriers between different markets and making it easier to do business anywhere in the world. With its origins in the video game publishing industry, Degica found that it needed to build its own in-house payments solution in order to sell games via major platforms to customers in its home market of Japan. The solution worked so well that the team decided that its future lay in breaking down similar barriers for other companies. Today, the Degica offers a series of solutions – ranging from payments to AI translation and logistics support – to enable businesses outside Japan to gain straightforward access to the country’s large and valuable market, and businesses in Japan and the rest of Asia to tap into Western markets in Europe and the US.

About KOMOJU
Established in 2016 by Degica, KOMOJU (an abbreviation of the Japanese phrase “購入モジュール”, meaning “purchasing module”) was started with a single aim – to make Japan simple. To this end, KOMOJU provides clients with a global payments platform, active across four regions, with over 50 international partners and more than 2,500 active merchants. Connected to platforms such as Shopify, Wix, Woo Commerce and Magento, it offers merchants access to all major payment methods in Japan, Korea and China and incorporates FX functionalities to enable merchants to receive funds in their desired currency, while processing currencies native to local markets.
Today, following huge initial success for the platform, the initial goal of making Japan simple has expanded. The next step for KOMOJU and Degica is to continue breaking down barriers to doing business not only into and out of Japan, but anywhere in the world – creating a fair and global marketplace for goods and services.
