Japan Launch Check — example paid-review deliverable
Fictional example. Hikari Objects is a fictional store. The URLs, settings and page notes below are illustrative. No live merchant, purchase journey or customer result was inspected. This example shows how the paid manual review would turn an initial checklist into assigned next steps.
Scope: storefront, Japanese page and one product page; physical products. The free-tool sample has 18 checks and seven follow-ups. The examples below select three follow-ups; the paid deliverable would include evidence collected from the agreed actual pages and distinguish it from the merchant’s answers.
Download the companion action-list CSV ↓. It contains the same three fictional format examples below. Every row is marked fictional, the inspection dates are blank, and changes and rechecks are recorded as not performed. This CSV is an example of the proposed manual deliverable; it is separate from the free tool's automatic checklist export.
1. Confirm a shipping option for Japan
Priority: High. Basis: fictional merchant answer, not a browser-confirmed checkout failure.
The sample merchant answered “No / needs work” to “A test cart shows a shipping option for Japan” and added a note that Japan had not been added to the relevant shipping setup. The public-page JPY marker does not establish that shipping is available.
Proposed next step: the store owner checks that Japan is in the intended market and in the shipping setup for the selected product. In an authorized test cart, select Japan and record the available shipping option, price and affected product group. If an option is missing, the owner corrects the relevant setup and repeats the same test.
Done when: an actual authorized test shows the expected option for that product. Record the evidence and test time. Keep any untested product groups unconfirmed.
Owner: merchant for admin settings; reviewer for interpreting the supplied result. Configuration changes are outside the initial review scope.
2. Test Japanese name and address fields
Priority: High. Basis: fictional merchant answer indicating that the inputs have not been tested.
The first report should say “not tested”, rather than inventing an address-validation defect. A concrete test plan can check a fictional Japanese name, a seven-digit postal-code format, prefecture, street address and building details. The store owner performs this in the approved test environment.
Proposed next step: record whether the fields accept the intended input, keep it after navigating back, and show understandable correction messages for incomplete input. The evidence should identify the field, entered test value and observed message. Do not assert that a postal address exists from its format alone.
Done when: the supplied test evidence shows the intended field behavior, or the report names a reproducible defect. An unrun test stays unconfirmed.
Owner: merchant for the test environment; reviewer for the test steps and result interpretation.

3. Make a narrow-screen product CTA readable
Priority: Medium. Basis: fictional merchant note that the Japanese product button wraps awkwardly. There is no actual screenshot of this fictional defect.
Proposed review: inspect the agreed real product page at mobile width, save the actual evidence and separate a cosmetic wrap from a clipped or unusable control. If the control is clipped, propose a smaller padding or a flexible width before shortening useful Japanese wording. Give the developer the selector or page location and the expected visible result.
Done when: a recheck at the same width shows the entire label, focus indicator and usable control without horizontal overflow. The initial review proposes the correction; it does not claim to have applied it.
Owner: reviewer for evidence and recommendation; merchant or developer for implementation.

All three examples above are format demonstrations. Actual findings, the browser evidence, the time needed to deliver the service and any paid demand remain unverified. In a real review, attach the full CSV, the agreed scope, the inspection date and the remaining unconfirmed items.
