Intro. Feeling overwhelmed about how to get started with expanding overseas?

“Our brand needs to expand overseas someday…” 
“We’d like to build a global fanbase too…”

Expanding overseas is a strategy that any growing brand must inevitably consider. 
The more solidly your brand grows domestically, the more you’ll realize that “it’s time to go global.” 
You know you need to move beyond the domestic market to a bigger stage, but it’s only natural to feel overwhelmed when you actually try to get started. 
From language barriers to complex logistics and unfamiliar local marketing strategies… there are so many things to consider.

Wadizhas focused on lowering this “barrier to entry” that makers face. 
Since launching our global service in April 2025, we’ve developed a variety of features and services to help makers tap into the global market more easily and with less pressure.

From translation to international shipping and advertising⎯
We’ll now introduce Wadizkey features, designed to help creators make a successful global debut, one by one. 

1. The Easiest Way to Break Down Language Barriers: AI Automatic Translation

Wadizhelps ensure that the stories you’ve worked so hard to create are conveyed fully in the local language.

When you decide to expand globally, the first hurdle you face is, of course, the language barrier. 

Translating the story (product page) you’ve worked so hard on into another language isn’t easy.
Hiring a professional translator can be costly, and even if you use a general-purpose AI tool, translating every single image and piece of copy can end up taking a lot of time and effort. Wadizis here to take that translation burden off your shoulders.

1) AI-powered story translation

Maker Studiosupports AI-powered automatic translation of stories written in Korean into English.You can review the AI-translated version and edit each section—from the project title to the story body—yourself. Notably, this feature automatically translates not only the text but also Korean text within images, which significantly reduces the time and effort required for design revisions. (Note: This excludes Korean text within video formats such as GIFs.)

You can refine the translated text yourself to align it with your brand image or product features. Feel free to adjust the phrasing to make it sound more natural—from the project title and summary to your creator name, reward settings, and the entire story text. 

⚠️ Please be careful!  
Revised translations are also subject to Wadiz review standards. Please avoid exaggerated claims such as “100% effectiveness guaranteed” or false certification claims. The more carefully you review and edit AI-generated translations, the more you’ll build trust with your backers.

2) English Story Creation Service

AI-powered translation alone may not fully capture the subtle nuances of your brand. In such cases, considerour English story creation service, whichhelps you reimagine your design and narrative to resonate with international supporters. Through Wadiz official partners, you can receive high-quality content tailored specifically for overseas markets.

If you’re a creator who hasn’t prepared a product detail page yet, why notcombine this with our existing Korean story creation serviceto streamline the process? By developing both your Korean and English content simultaneously, you can create a consistent brand story designed for global expansion right from the start.

• What if you already have a Korean design file? 
  We can create an English version of your story through localization planning and design revisions.
• Want to produce both Korean and English stories at the same time? 
  You can apply for our combined Korean and English story production service all at once. We can adjust the scope and details of the project based on factors such as whether filming is required and the length of the story.

Tip. 3 Things You Must Not Overlook When Preparing Global Product Pages

1️⃣ Use the "Review Manually" option to improve the quality of the automatic translation
WadizAI translation will quickly convert your story into a foreign language. Please review the translated text to see if there are any parts where you’d like to better convey your brand’s unique style or the core value of your product. If you polish it one more time yourself, it will significantly boost the credibility of your project.

2️⃣ Be sure to review Wadiz“Review Criteria” 
Global projects undergo the same review process as domestic ones. In particular, you must carefully check the English translation to ensure that no exaggerated expressions, such as “100% Guarantee,” have been included.

3️⃣ Don’t be afraid to communicate with international supporters
When you have practical concerns like, “How do I set up international shipping rates?” or “I’m struggling to come up with an ad slogan that appeals to local supporters,” ask WAi, your AI partner for customized success strategies. It can summarize the information you need or suggest compelling ideas, helping you save time on preparation.

2. International Shipping: Make it Easy with Our Official Partners

From complex export declarations to logistics contracts, we take the hassle off your hands.

“Isn’t international shipping just a matter of sending the package?”
“Is there much of a difference from regular domestic shipping?”

If you’re new to international shipping, you might think this way. But when hundreds or thousands of orders come flooding in, it’s a whole different story. Unless you’re an expert, managing that volume on your own is no easy task.That’s exactly when Wadizsteps in to lend a helping hand.

Logistics Operations via Wadiz Official Partner Carriers

Wadizconnects makers withWadiz official international shipping partnersso you can use our services at reasonable prices. Of course, if you already have a shipping provider you use, you’re welcome to continue using them, but if you’re looking for a more efficient process, we recommend taking advantage of the logistics network Wadizhas established.

The biggest advantage is thatthe shipping company handles the cumbersome "export declaration" processon your behalf. Since the Wadiz Global Project involves "exporting" products from Korea to other countries, it requires reporting the product information to the Customs Service.

For companies preparing to expand overseas,filing an export declarationis an essential step. This is because you must have your export performance officially recognized in order to qualify for benefits such as trade finance, insurance, and tax refunds, and because it serves as supporting documentation when applying for future government-sponsored export support programs. Above all, providing official proof of sales is a great way to boost your company’s creditworthiness and gain the trust of overseas buyers.

If you work with a shipping company on these paperwork tasks instead of handling them on your own, you can reduce the time and effort required for your business operations. First, Guide to Inquiries and Applications for International Shipping . Once you submit the form with all details filled out, our team will review the eligibility and conditions for international shipping of your rewards and connect you with a suitable partner. After verifying eligibility and other conditions, we’ll send you an email with the partner’s rates and contract terms. 

Tip:3 Key Points to Keep in Mind for International Shipping

1️⃣ Be sure to consider these 5 factors when calculating international shipping costs 
You can’t just look at weight alone. To set a reasonable shipping rate, you need to comprehensively calculate the weight and volume of the rewards, the distance to each country, and any customs duties and VAT incurred during customs clearance.

2️⃣ You can set the estimated shipping date well in advance, up to 11 months after the event ends. 
Since international shipping involves long distances from the origin to the destination, you need to allow plenty of time for delivery. Rest assured that, just like our existing policy, you can set a generous shipping window.

3️⃣ When you're feeling lost, turn to Maker Center and WAi 
If you’re wondering, “Which export declaration type is best for us?” ask WAi, your AI partner for tailored success strategies. We’ll summarize the complex information available at Maker Center and provide you with the answers right away.

You can target audiences precisely by gender, age, and country to maximize the effectiveness of your ads.

⚠️ Please be sure to check this!

• Campaign Segmentation: You cannot select both "Korea" and "Countries outside Korea" at the same time. Please create separate campaigns for domestic and international audiences.
• Age Restrictions: In accordance with our global policy, the target age is automatically setto 21 and older, and it is not possible to target users under the age of 21.

Tip:3-Point Checklist for Boosting GlobalAdvertising Performance

1️⃣ Start small with image assets 
Currently, BizCenter AI Translation is optimized for text and image content. If you need to get started and test things quickly, we recommend using image content first to gauge the reaction of your global supporters.

2️⃣ Try strategically using country-specific targeting 
Instead of showing ads in every country, start by targeting the countries where people are most likely to be enthusiastic about your product. The more you narrow your target audience, the more effective it is for improving your return on ad spend (ROAS).

3️⃣ Please double-check the tone of the translated copy 
Please verify that the automatically translated text accurately captures the essence of our brand. Since there may be cultural differences or subtle nuances, if you, the creator, could polish the text a bit to make it flow more smoothly, it will come across as much more authentic to our international supporters.

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Do I need to obtain reward certification or register a trademark in advance for each country?
  A: If it’s a “reverse cross-border shopping” scenario where overseas supporters purchase small quantities for personal use, you can usually ship the items without any special permits or certifications. Trademark registration isn’t mandatory either, but if a similar trademark already exists in that country, there’s a risk of customs issues or legal disputes, so we recommend checking in advance.
• Q: Who is responsible for paying customs duties, and how are payments and settlements handled?
  A: In principle, customs duties are paid directly by the local backer. However, depending on the shipping carrier’s contract terms, the maker may be responsible for these costs, so please check in advance. For payment and settlement, makers can proceed as usual in Korean won (KRW). While international backers will see the amount in their local currency with the exchange rate applied, makers do not have to go through any complicated currency conversion procedures.
• Q: Are there any specific requirements for running a Wadiz Global project?
  A: Most makers who meet the existing qualifications for running a Wadiz project are eligible to run a global project. However, if you offer rewards that are prohibited from being exported from Korea or require age verification for adults 19 years of age or older, you will not be able to run the project.
