Doubt of 2 years is clear from 2 min video…🙂❤️
These videos are awesome! Please keep making them. It’s short pieces of information that would be hard to find an accurate source elsewhere
that was useful John!
One of the critics we made (me too) in the past about Shopify platform is that the URLs were very long and could not be shortened by the owner and this affected SEO. So that will not be a problem.
Thanks ! I had this doubt from a long long time.
