Bookings, invoices — all in Shopify.
Bookings, on-site search, invoices, revenue ranking. Where Shopify leaves Japanese merchants stuck, we build the answer as a Shopify app rather than another SaaS subscription — planned, built, operated and supported in-house.
- Four Shopify apps built in-house
- Japanese UI and support
- Customer data stays in your store
- From planning through operation

Why a Shopify app instead of another SaaS?
- 01
Customer data is never split in two
Hand a workflow to an outside SaaS and the customer list and history accumulate there. Built as a Shopify app, customers, orders and history stay in one place — your own store — so retention and email are yours to run.
- 02
One admin, not five logins
Separate services for bookings, search, invoices and revenue analysis mean duplicate records for inventory and customers. Inside the Shopify admin, the daily work happens on one screen.
- 03
Nothing gets lost in translation
Apps built abroad assume English for the admin, the docs and the support desk. The Maru series is planned, built, operated and supported in Japan, so questions about behaviour or bugs are answered in Japanese.
