Your own kuji · Sales methods
Starting your own kuji: paper, online, kiosk?
Making your own kuji involves two jobs: planning the prizes and the kuji board, and deciding where and how to sell that board. What you need to prepare and what it costs depend on how you sell, so set the board rules first and then compare sales methods.

1. Set the board rules first, whatever the sales method
Prizes and quantities per tier, total tickets, price per draw, and Last One conditions are needed whether you sell physical tickets or online. Put prize costs side by side with the ticket price and work out the revenue from a sold-out board and the prizes left over; that makes it easier to adjust the board's makeup.
- Prize names and quantities per tier, plus total tickets
- Price per draw and revenue from a sold-out board
- Cost per board, including prize cost, packaging, and shipping
- Last One prize and when sales end
2. What to prepare for selling physical tickets
Having customers draw paper tickets in store is the simplest way to start. You order ticket printing from a print shop, and staff manage sales, the remaining-quantity display, and win checks by hand. KUJI BUILDER does not print tickets. When sales grow and manual management gets difficult, we help you move to an online site or a kiosk.
- Ticket printing that keeps the tier hidden from the outside
- Who updates the remaining-quantity status board
- Win checks and prize handover records
- Clearing leftover tickets after a board ends
3. What to prepare for selling on an online kuji site
Online, customers pay on their own and the server runs the draw. You can sell to customers who never visit your store, but you also need to prepare a payment provider contract, storage and shipping for prizes won, and customer support. Before screen design, make sure payment, draw, inventory, and shipping are handled as one flow.
- PG payment contract and the payment methods you need
- Server-side draws and how remaining quantities per tier are shown
- Prize storage, combined shipping, and shipping fee rules
- Staff to handle orders, shipping, and inquiries
4. What to prepare for selling with an in-store kiosk
With a kiosk, the device handles payment and the draw inside your store, and staff focus on handing over prizes. The touchscreen, payment terminal, and printer must be tested on actual devices, and you also decide on the installation space, power and internet, and what to do when a device has a problem.
- Installation space and where power and internet are available
- Payment terminal and printer models, plus the payment provider contract
- Pickup pass printing and how prizes are handed over
- Whether to sell the same board online as well
5. Compare the cost structure of each method separately
For physical tickets, the main costs are printing and staff time. An online site adds monthly costs such as servers and payment fees on top of the build cost, and a kiosk adds device purchase and installation. The amounts in the KUJI BUILDER pricing table are example plan configurations; actual costs are set in a quote after we confirm the features and number of units you need. The registrations, filings, and product rights that apply to your sales structure should be confirmed by the operator with the relevant authorities and professionals.
- Physical: printing and labor costs per board
- Online: build cost, monthly operating costs, payment fees
- Kiosk: device, installation, consumables, and after-sales costs
- Inventory sync scope when running multiple channels
