My Opinion --
- They had shop feature before too but it was little complicated now they made it simple and for all and made it little advanced
- I think its best for a case where you want to put your best seller catalog not complete store
- More or less its just a frontend you will still need CRM like shopify,woocomerce,kwikfunnels to manage your orders and check reports
- Facebook will have more control over data this way and more like they are trying to create google shopping catalog for future.
- Live Shopping Feature is something interesting where you can advertise your product in real time.
- Its more like Modis Covid relief package half backed away from reality with certain good thingsย
What do you think about this new feature ?
