This includes creating websites and apps with a shopping cart, where the seller’s product can be managed and sold, the inventory can be maintained dynamically according to order activity, payment details can be set and products can be marketed. It helps the seller conveniently manage and expand their business without having to worry about website development and the technical issues that are linked to it.
