How to use this tool
This tool is useful when you are not sure whether a Korean store is merely inconvenient or truly difficult for foreigners.
What the score means
- High score: the order flow looks relatively manageable.
- Middle score: some friction exists, but the order may still be worth trying.
- Low score: expect payment, identity, language, or customs blockers.
Inputs that matter most
The strongest signals are foreign card support, Korean phone requirements, and identity verification. A store can look simple on the product page and still become difficult at checkout.
Best use case
Use this before you spend time building a cart on a new Korean website.
