Shopify Partner of the Year 2021 - Japan: StoreHero Wins Custom Storefront Agency Partner of the Year
StoreHero Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; Representative Director: Junichi Kurose; hereinafter "StoreHero") was awarded Custom Storefront Agency Partner of the Year at the Shopify Partner of the Year 2021 - Japan ceremony, held on Thursday, November 4, 2021 as part of COMMERCE DAY 2021, organized by Shopify Japan. This award is presented to the partner that has built the most outstanding UX custom storefront on Shopify for merchants and made a significant contribution to their business growth.
Background of the Award
Shopify is a multichannel commerce platform used by over 1.7 million individuals, businesses, and brands worldwide. In 2020, its total transaction volume reached approximately 12 trillion yen, nearly double that of 2019. In Japan as well, the platform has seen rapid growth, with total transaction volume up 323% and new store openings up 228% in 2020, and continued aggressive investment in the Japanese market is expected going forward.
Amid the growing demand for e-commerce, Shopify's popularity continues to rise thanks to its high flexibility and extensibility — enabling merchants to freely customize the frontend to match their brand image and add the functionality they need through third-party apps.
StoreHero has dedicated itself to delivering rich experiences on Shopify stores — such as diagnostic-driven personalized selling and live commerce — through its proprietary Shopify apps, implementing superior frontends with no code required, and maximizing customer experience value to drive merchant growth. These achievements were recognized with the Custom Storefront Agency Partner of the Year award.
Under its mission of "Making Commerce Operators Heroes," StoreHero provides growth consulting and growth solutions based on its proprietary growth platform, working to create a world where any commerce business can grow easily and enjoyably.
In pursuit of our vision to become the "Global No. 1 Growth Vendor," we are actively hiring across all areas — including backend engineers, frontend engineers, growth consultants, and PR professionals. If you are interested in joining the StoreHero team, please reach out via the link below.
