How Shopify Makes It Easy - Run Your Business Wherever You Are

Entrepreneurs usually multitask and like to remain in control of their businesses in order to run them effectively. Responding fast is essential for businesses to compete in fierce competition for customers. Shopify offers a variety of inherent Apps that make it possible.

On the go, Shopify can be used in several ways to run a business.

1. In Shopify, you can enable push notifications to receive an alert every time an order is placed with your store.

The Shopify app badge icon shows the number of open orders for one store only.

With an Android phone, you can still receive the push notifications with SMS, but the app badge icon is not available as yet.

2. The Shopify Mobile App is the complete store on mobile. Store owners can manage their online stores with the Shopify Mobile App, which allows them to:

PROCESS ORDERS

• Fulfill, refund, or archive orders for each of your store locations

• View fraud analysis

MANAGE PRODUCTS AND COLLECTIONS

• Add products manually or through barcode scan
