How to Manage Your Store Via Mobile App

The best ecommerce sites all have one thing in common: the ability to edit your website's store from the convenience of your mobile device. Whether it's uploading photos from your smartphone, editing links, or changing contact details, you’ll be able to handle it all from your phone.

You can also create and edit widgets while you're on the go, including text, image sliders, social media icons, photo galleries, buttons, etc. You can even add an HTML widget. This is the simplest method of inserting custom code into your website.

You can do all the above from a mobile-friendly dashboard. You'll get access to your store's stats, orders, products, customers, and more on the go right from your phone. Not only can you list products from anywhere, but you’ll be able also to process orders, check on stats, and get in touch with your customers from anywhere with just your phone! 

Other features include:

• Creating discounts and promo codes
• Updating your business settings
• Order tracking
• Editing existing products
• Daily updates
• Design updates to the storefront
