ECGOs All Features Available for Free to Support Online Business Growth

ECGO's Free Features Campaign to Aid E-Commerce Growth

In an unprecedented move to support e-commerce businesses, Japan EC Service Corporation, which operates the EC Masters Club, is launching the "ECGO Full Features Free Release Campaign" starting October 3, 2025. This initiative seeks to empower online retailers by offering all functions of the Chrome extension "ECGO" without any membership registration, completely free of charge until December 31, 2025.

Campaign Overview

Beginning today until December 31, 2025, users can access all features of the ECGO Chrome extension without needing to register for membership. By simply adding "ECGO" from the Chrome Web Store during this period, users can take advantage of advanced paid features that have been highlighted in the highly rated "Ultimate Guide to Rakuten Market"—a book that gained the top rank in Amazon's e-commerce category.

### Easy to Use
Adding ECGO is remarkably simple; just head to the Chrome Web Store and add the extension. Once added, users can immediately utilize all the extensive features designed to streamline their online business operations.

Key Features of ECGO

"ECGO" provides a highly efficient toolset for merchants operating on major e-commerce platforms such as Rakuten Market, Amazon, Yahoo! Shopping, and au PAY Market. With over 16,000 users and an impressive average rating of 5.0 from 322 reviews on the Chrome Web Store, ECGO has proven to be an essential tool in boosting online sales.

Main Features Include:

1. Smartphone View Function: Access real-time smartphone displays on your PC, removing the need for physical device checks.
2. Competitor Comparison: Instantly analyze and compare products against competitors in the rankings to identify improvement areas.
3. Bulk Product Registration: Efficiently register and update multiple products, drastically reducing the time spent compared to manual input methods.

Background and Purpose

With the maturation of the e-commerce industry, competition has escalated, presenting difficult conditions for small to medium businesses (SMBs). According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Japanese e-commerce market is projected to grow only 2.3% in 2024, signaling a drop in growth rates, particularly for SMBs facing higher barriers to entry.

The EC Masters Club, which serves approximately 10% of all Rakuten shops, has witnessed an influx of larger companies registering; however, Japan EC Service Corporation is reaffirming its commitment to supporting SMBs. By making all advanced features of the ECGO extension free, the initiative aims to allow more small businesses to experience the tool's value and foster their growth.

Future Prospects

Japan EC Service Corporation plans to persist in its support for e-commerce entrepreneurs. This ECGO free features campaign is just the beginning; the company hopes to expand services that address daily operational challenges and enhance sales for a broader range of small e-commerce businesses. Living up to the brand message of "Making E-Commerce Easy," the company is dedicated to simplifying the complexities of online business, enabling entrepreneurs to focus on value creation within their operations.

### Message from CEO Shōhei Shimizu
As the CEO overseeing the EC Masters Club, which has assisted over 2,500 Rakuten shops, Shimizu is committed to providing tools and know-how that contribute to their sales growth. His publication, "Ultimate Guide to Rakuten Market," has also been recognized as the best-selling guide on Amazon.
