## Item Registration on Your Behalf

- Simply send us the information for the items you want to sell (item name, price, images, etc.), and Game8 will register them in the store.
- Registration is normally completed within three business days. If you are in a hurry — for example, to launch an additional sale right away — items can be published within minutes to tens of minutes.
- Publication start and end dates can be scheduled in advance (timed publishing), enabling automatic publication timed to events and seasonal changes.
- Before publishing, you can preview how items appear to users and check the purchase flow using the "Admin Only" status.
- You can also register and edit items directly from the admin dashboard yourself. Choose the approach that fits your operational style.

## Product Description Writing Support

- Game8's writers support the creation of product descriptions and campaign copy.
- Drawing on our expertise as a gaming media company and the store's sales data, we propose copy that resonates with users.

## Item Proposals

- Game8's writers and operations team make proposals from the planning stage on what to sell and in what configuration.
- If there is a Game8 Strategy Wiki for the game, we can also gather feedback from Wiki readers. The voices of users actually playing the game can inform your product lineup and pricing decisions.

## Customer Support Desk

- User inquiries about purchases made in the store are handled first by Game8 Store's dedicated support desk.
- Publishers do not need to set up any additional customer support structure. We will contact you only when a response on the game side is required.

## Refund & Chargeback Handling

- Refunds and chargebacks are handled by Game8 based on rules agreed upon with the publisher in advance.
- For cases that are unclear or not covered by the agreed rules, we will consult with the publisher before responding. You will not be burdened with day-to-day case-by-case handling.
- For details on the policy and response flow, please see the[Refunds and Chargebacks](https://developers.store.game8.jp/en/refunds/)page.

## Reports & Payment Statements

- Daily and monthly sales reports are available anytime in the admin dashboard.
- Monthly payment statements can be downloaded as PDFs.
- For details, please see the[Admin Dashboard](https://developers.store.game8.jp/en/admin/)page.

## Security & Fraud Prevention

- Game8 operates fraud prevention measures, including 3D Secure authentication, and mechanisms to prevent chargebacks.
- Rules such as purchase count limits are set and monitored by Game8.

## Shipping Support (Merchandise & Physical Goods)

- For physical products such as merchandise, we offer a shipping scheme that covers storage, packaging, and delivery.
- The details vary depending on the product type and scale, so please consult your contact person.
