Chaka Bonzales (ID: 000000818f44b980) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 I freaking love this! Just what I was looking for. It's very user friendly, the dashboard makes it super easy to manage all my products, I can even use the popup as a mini bookmarks tab for my favourite products and the charts are a nice addition compared to other tools. Thank you!!!
