Bilingual Second-Hand Shopify Build

I’m preparing to launch a second-hand brand store on Shopify and need an experienced developer to turn the concept into a fully functioning, bilingual (Japanese / English) site. The first milestone is the initial build and inventory connection, but I’m looking for someone interested in a long-term partnership so we can keep expanding features together.

The core scope
• Design or customise a responsive theme and set up all storefront pages in Japanese and English.
• Integrate an inventory management workflow that keeps online stock perfectly in sync with our offline buying pipeline. I’m open to using Shopify’s native tools, a third-party SaaS, or a custom app—whichever you recommend for second-hand SKUs with frequent turnover.
• Configure payments, shipping, basic SEO, and analytics so the shop is launch-ready.

I highly value prior experience with Japanese-language e-commerce builds on Shopify, familiarity with Liquid, the Admin and Storefront APIs, and common inventory platforms like TradeGecko, ShipStation, or similar.

To apply, please share:
1. Links to two or three Shopify stores you built (Japanese sites are a major plus).
2. A short outline of how you would approach the bilingual setup and inventory sync.
3. Your estimated cost range and timeline for the initial launch phase.

I’ll send the detailed brief, wireframes, and brand assets to candidates who look like a strong fit. Let’s create a smooth, scalable shop now and keep improving it together over the long run.
