Troubleshooting and FAQs

• How do I import products from another platform? You can import products directly if you're using Stripe by navigating to the "Products" section and selecting the import option.
• My changes aren't saving. What should I do? Ensure you're hitting the "Save" button after making changes. If issues persist, clear your browser cache or try a different browser.
