I'm curious about Wadiz's review criteria and process for makers from countries other than Korea.

📍 Worldwide ex-Korea Maker

1. We verify that the requirements for the project to proceed smoothly are met.

• Makers with a business registration from a country other than Korea are subject to the same review criteria and policies as Korean makers.

➡️ View review policy in detail

• However, makers with a business registration from a country other than Korea can only run projects for items that are eligible for direct overseas purchase.
• When a maker with a business registration from a country other than Korea runs a project, KC certification documents do not need to be submitted, and Wadiz may request the signing of a separate dedicated agreement. 

2. We verify the eligibility requirements for the maker.

• Makers from countries other than Korea can only run projects if they are officially registered as a business in their respective country.
  
• For makers with a business registration from a country other than Korea, we verify business information such as the representative's name, address, and business registration number. 
• We check whether the maker has signed up for PingPong Payments. If the maker does not have a PingPong Payments account, review approval will not be possible.

3. We verify the legality of the reward.

• Projects on Wadiz can only be run with items eligible for direct overseas purchase.

4.  Makers from countries other than Korea must include the following information in their story.

If the following information is not included in the story, the review may be rejected.

• Please state that the project is run by an overseas business entity and that the project is being conducted as an overseas direct purchase project.
• Please inform supporters that customs may restrict the import of rewards or impose tariffs, and that supporters are responsible for checking the purchasable quantity and amount.
• Please note that refunds for simple change of mind are not accepted after shipping has begun. (However, this may be omitted if refunds are permitted.)

For other story content, the same review standards as for Korean makers apply.

• Please describe the key points of the reward and the product introduction in detail along with images. 
• Please include an introduction about yourself and actual product photos.
• Please share the reason for funding on Wadiz and the plan for how the funding will be used.

5. We verify whether the item is eligible to proceed with the project. 

• Makers with a business registration from a country other than Korea do not need to submit item certification documents, including KC certification, when running a project. 
• However, please make sure to verify whether the item is eligible for the project.

6. Before submitting the project, you can receive an AI review in advance.

1. Please complete all fields in the Maker Studio - Story Writing menu.
2. Click the AI Review button in the toolbar on the right side of the screen to check the review results in advance.
3. Please make any necessary revisions based on the review results.

• Receiving an AI review before submission is optional. You are not required to conduct an AI review for your project. 
• However, we recommend receiving an AI review before submission whenever possible and incorporating any necessary revisions.
• The AI review results before submission may differ from the final review and post-submission review results. 
• This feature is a service provided to help makers write their story.
