SHARED INVENTORY | FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
For retailersTest a new product on a small scale
Before buying 100 units, find out whether one customer will buy.
Meetings and intuition cannot prove product–store fit. Build a page from verified photos and facts, publish it in the store’s own style, and observe real views, questions and orders before making a larger commitment.

UNIT ECONOMICS
A simple numerical example
*Illustrative only. This is not a guarantee of sales or profit.
- Traditional: decide on 100 units × ¥2,000 cost = ¥200,000 upfront
- Shared inventory: list first and observe customer response
- Use orders and enquiries to guide the next purchasing decision
