EasyStore Product Updates Apr - June 2019

Half year has gone by now, we have come from the launch of Shopee app to Facebook Marketing. New projects kept us on our toes, but constantly improving our product helped us stay focused on bringing greater value to you. 

In the past quarter, we focused on enhancing our merchants’ experience in using our admin panel. We believe a user-friendly product can help businesses to speed up execution. and now let's recap back what we've upgraded in the past quarter.
