Introducing Cross-Site Search on ZenMarket (Beta)

We are excited to announce a new feature now available on ZenMarket: Cross-Site Search.

With this beta release, you can now search for products across several Japanese online stores at once—directly from the ZenMarket search bar. Instead of entering the same keyword on different sites individually, simply type what you are looking for and instantly see results from:

1. Amazon Japan

2. Rakuten

3. Rakuma

4. Mercari

5. JDirectItems Auctions (formerly known as Yahoo! Auctions)

6. JDirectItems Shopping (formerly known as Yahoo! Shopping)

7. Digimart (music equipment store)

8. Minne (handicraft store)

This new feature now makes it easier and faster to compare products across different stores, without leaving the ZenMarket platform.

The functionality to search for products from one specific store at a time remains available to all users.

How to Use Cross-Site Search

To use Cross-Site Search, select “All” in the search bar settings and enter your desired keyword. This will automatically search and display products from all supported stores in one unified results list.

If you would like to narrow down your results, you can optionally use the Filter feature to refine products by individual store, service fees, item condition, or seller type.

What’s Next

Cross-Site Search is just the beginning. Here’s what you can expect going forward:

1. More stores are likely to be added beyond the current list, expanding your access to a wider range of Japanese marketplaces.

2. More sorting and filtering options will be introduced, allowing you to refine your results and find the products you want more efficiently.

3. More search improvements are planned, so stay tuned for future updates as we continue to enhance your shopping experience.

We invite you to try out the new Cross-Site Search today and share your feedback with us—your input will help us make this feature even better.
