The challenge
Without a merchant of record.
A plugin maker with a following in Japan may have no way to bill in yen and no appetite for setting up a Japanese subsidiary just to test the market.
Card-only checkout leaves money on the table. Many Japanese buyers expect konbini and carrier billing, and Brazilian producers want Pix and installments, none of which a card-only flow can offer.

What Nordgate does
With Nordgate.
Nordgate would stand up localized checkout in both markets under its own entities, so the maker never registers a company abroad. Pricing, tax, and receipts render in local currency and language out of the box.
The payment methods each market actually uses, including Pix and local card installments in Brazil, would be switched on, with consumption-tax filing handled in Japan.
