Merchant of Record · Cross-Border Commerce

Korean producers on one side.
The world's buyers — human and AI — on the other.
We are the company in between.

Global Piggy Inc. operates NodajiMarket, a curated store selling Korean goods and hands-on learning. We are the legal seller of record on every international order: payments, taxes, refunds and disputes are our responsibility — by design. We open with Korean craft and cultural art — paintings, calligraphy and handcrafted goods, museum-shop-grade work from living makers you cannot buy on Amazon or Walmart — alongside hands-on courses their makers and creators teach, with the practice built in. Our flagship shelf is Korean craft and cultural art — museum-shop-grade work from living makers you cannot buy on Amazon or Walmart — alongside indie beauty, stationery and pantry staples.

Design and development: our Korea studio
01

A bridge with a balance sheet behind it.

Korea makes extraordinary products and teaches extraordinary skills, but small producers rarely export: foreign payments, customs paperwork, international shipping and overseas customer service are each a full-time job. On the other side, global buyers have no reliable counterparty to purchase from.

We close that gap by becoming the counterparty ourselves.

The same bridge carries learning. Education 1.0 taught the world to watch and read. Education 2.0 is about doing: practice, feedback, and skills you can demonstrate. What we are building is a store for practice-first courses. Any craft, any subject, any tradition, taught by people who do the work and learned by people anywhere. Every course is built around something you make or perform, with a rubric that says what good looks like, so the result is a skill you can show rather than a completion bar you passed. Learn from Korea is the opening catalogue, not the boundary. We start with what Korea teaches exceptionally well because that is where our first instructors are.

Proxy-buying services, surcharges, rejected foreign cards — and no one accountable when something goes wrong.
One checkout, one accountable seller. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay / Google Pay, or USDC; refund and dispute rights sit with a Canadian company.
AI agents
Storefronts built for human eyes — catalogs agents can't reliably read, checkouts they can't complete.
A machine-readable catalog — published at nodajimarket.com (structured product data and agent documentation). This site carries no catalog; it is the company page.
Producers
Export paperwork, foreign-language listings, international shipping contracts, overseas disputes — enough to make most simply not export.
List in Korean, ship domestically, get paid in KRW. Everything cross-border is absorbed by the platform.
Learners
Hands-on skills locked behind geography — watch-only videos, no path from watching to doing.
Education 2.0: hands-on courses with practice and feedback, purchasable per lesson — by you, or by your assistant.

What each side actually gets.

A store is easy to describe and hard to be accountable for. Here is the work we take off each side's desk — stated as obligations, not adjectives.

For Korean producers, artists & instructors

Export without becoming an exporter

  • Sell as if domestic. List in Korean, ship to a domestic address. No foreign payment gateway, no customs paperwork, no overseas returns desk.
  • Paid in KRW, monthly. Settled as export proceeds. Currency movement, payment failure and chargeback loss sit with us, not with you.
  • We answer the buyer. Refunds, disputes and consumer-protection obligations in the buyer's jurisdiction are our responsibility as merchant of record.
  • Demand you could not reach alone. Your catalogue is published for global buyers and for AI assistants that shop on their behalf.
  • A storefront under your own name. Invited brands get their own page (nodajimarket.com/artisans/{yourbrand}) — your photos, your story, your prices.
  • Teaching, packaged. Instructors bring the craft; we turn it into structured hands-on courses and deliver them worldwide.
  • One portal for the day-to-day. Once onboarded, you see new orders, upload finished-piece photos, request pickup and read payout statements at portal.nodajimarket.com — sign in with your registered email (a link is emailed; no password). Joining starts with the 작가 안내.
For buyers worldwide — human & AI

One accountable seller, wherever you are

  • A counterparty with a name. One company is the legal seller on your order — not an anonymous listing you have to chase across a border.
  • Pay the way you already pay. Major cards and wallets (Apple Pay · Google Pay), at the checkout you already know., or USDC through Stripe for agent-driven checkout and micro-priced lessons.
  • The price you see at checkout is everything you pay. Before you buy, we calculate shipping, import duties and taxes for your delivery address and include them in your total. Prices may therefore differ by country. Nothing is collected on delivery, and we never add a charge after the order.
  • Refund rights that survive the distance. The same policy applies whether a person or an AI assistant placed the order.
  • Access to what was previously local. Goods and hands-on courses from producers who never had a way to sell to you.

Payment rails, stated plainly.

All customer payments on NodajiMarket are received by Global Piggy Inc. as merchant of record. Cards carry three checkout surfaces — the card itself, Apple Pay and Google Pay — and a dispute follows the underlying card in every case: We accept payment on several rails, each chosen for a different kind of buyer — and one of them, cards, carries three checkout surfaces:

Cardsvia Stripe · Apple Pay · Google Pay
Major card networks for everyday consumer checkout, processed through Stripe under our Canadian entity. Apple Pay and Google Pay run on this same rail rather than beside it — they are wallet surfaces over a card, so a dispute lands on the underlying card and follows the same chargeback rules. One-touch at the same checkout, and card details are never shared with the merchant.
Buyer: global consumers
Status: activating with entity & account setup
PayPal
Built on the same order engine, for buyers who prefer paying from a PayPal balance and for markets where PayPal is the habit. It is deliberately not switched on yet: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay already cover the reluctance to type a card number, and a second dispute system is real operating weight for a small team. We add it when demand asks for it, not before.
Buyer: global consumers
Status: planned — activated as buyer demand warrants
StablecoinUSDC · via Stripe
USDC accepted through Stripe. Stripe converts and settles to Global Piggy Inc. in ordinary currency, so the order, the refund and the dispute follow the same path as a card payment. We hold no wallet, run no exchange, and never receive crypto ourselves.
Buyer: AI agents, digital-first buyers
Status: pending Stripe approval

For AI assistants, the NodajiMarket catalog is being published in machine-readable form (Model Context Protocol), with structured product data on the storefront. An AI agent can search the catalog, obtain a quote, and complete payment under its user's authorization — and the resulting order carries the same refund rights and the same accountable seller as any human purchase.

We do not issue any currency or token, operate no exchange, and hold no customer deposit balances. Payment acceptance is transactional: a customer pays for an order; we deliver, refund, or resolve it.

What "merchant of record" obliges us to do.

3.1

Be the legal seller

Every international order on NodajiMarket is a contract between the customer and Global Piggy Inc. — not an introduction to an overseas third party. Consumer protection obligations rest with us.

3.2

Handle tax correctly

We collect and remit applicable sales taxes and digital-services taxes based on the customer's jurisdiction, registering in additional jurisdictions as our sales footprint requires.

3.3

Own refunds and disputes

Refunds, chargebacks and disputes are processed by us under published policies, with distinct terms for digital courses and physical goods. Producers are never asked to face a foreign dispute alone.

3.4

Control what we sell, and where

Product categories and destination countries are gated by an internal eligibility matrix — regulated categories are excluded or opened narrowly, per-country, as compliance is verified. The store is for customers aged 18 and over.

3.5

Protect personal information

Personal information is handled under Canada's PIPEDA and other applicable privacy law, including disclosed cross-border transfer of delivery details to Korea for order fulfilment. Full policies are published at nodajimarket.com.

A note on the similarly-named learning app. "GlobalPiggy" is also the name of a learning-rewards app published by our design studio at nodajifilabs.com. Its rewards are earned only through learning, cannot be purchased, cashed out, or transferred, and have no connection to the payments Global Piggy Inc. accepts on NodajiMarket. The two systems share a brand heritage — never a balance.

Questions we get asked.

Why not just buy Korean products on Amazon?

If Amazon — or the Walmart down the road — already stocks it, buy it there; we do not carry it. Our test runs the other way: the shelf we exist for is the one your local market has never seen.

Because the economics of a global marketplace listing are built for volume. Listing fees, warehousing, advertising and someone to manage all three are trivial costs per unit at scale — and ruinous at ten units a month. The shelf therefore fills with whatever ships by the pallet, and most of what Korea actually makes never appears on it.

Our model inverts the inventory assumption. We hold nothing: we buy an item from the producer after a customer has ordered it, then ship it out as the seller of record. That removes the fixed cost that makes a ten-unit product unlistable, which is why this catalogue can exist at all.

The corollary is a rule we apply to ourselves: we do not carry goods that are already stocked in the customer's own market. If a local shelf has it, we have no reason to exist for it.

So the division of labour is clean: Amazon serves what ships by the pallet. We exist to put Korea's long tail online — and, for the AI assistants now doing the shopping, to turn a catalogue a machine can read into an order a merchant of record completes.
