Plans
Put the account in order and run it yourself, or hand the controls to our team. The two buy different kinds of thing, not more of the same one.

Option — setup support
If nobody on your team writes English, or you are not sure how to put a composition, a material or a care label into words a foreign buyer will trust, you do not have to work it out. Send us whatever you already have — a spreadsheet, a PDF, a Shopify export, photographs — and we build the account for you.
Set it up yourself and there is no setup fee.
If you would rather we did it, it is ¥200,000 once, 税抜. We agree what is in it with you before anyone starts.
Every product, option and photograph, out of whatever you keep them in today.
Wholesale and retail, at the rate you fix for the season.
Materials, compositions and care, written so a buyer abroad understands them.
The story, the craft and the collection, in Japanese and English.
Buyers can order from them the day you open.

Questions
No. If someone on your team can write your products in English, import the account yourself and pay nothing for it. The fee is there for brands who would rather not: importing a catalogue, setting prices in every currency you sell in and writing a portal in two languages takes days, and doing it properly once is what separates a page a buyer reads from a page a buyer closes. ¥200,000 is also the going rate — Japanese platforms that offer to do it for you quote from about the same figure.
Because wholesale runs in seasons, and a year is the shortest honest test of whether Honmono works for you — one spring/summer and one autumn/winter. Month to month is ¥25,000, six months ¥22,500, a year ¥20,000. Start short and move onto a year later if you want.
Yes, and most brands should. Run a season on the tool, see where you actually lose time, then decide whether you want a person on your account. Moving sets nothing up again.
Bring the stores you have sold to for years and Honmono takes no cut of that relationship — not for a first season, not ever. Those accounts were yours before us and they leave with you, contacts exported. The subscription is what pays for the tool.
Nothing. No subscription, no fee on an order, no cut of what it buys. A store pays the brand, at the price the brand set.
Half an hour, your catalogue, and an honest answer about which of the two you need.
