• Store Information — Basic legal information of your Store which will appear on invoices sent to your customers, such as Store Name, Email, Contact Number, Product Type, and Business Address.
• Regional Settings — Display formats on your Store for the following: Time Zone, Unit System, Default Currency, and Pricing Display Format.
• Sales Channels — Additional sales channels/marketplaces to increase sales and drive more traffic to your Store.
