there is no customer support and you will receive an answer by email after two days, importing products is also restricted to the paln, and the app lacks user-friendliness.

Jesse is very helpful and quickly respond to questions that I have. However, the onboarding is not very friendly for a beginner. I will update this review as I use more.
