Online Store or Selling on Facebook?
Selling through Facebook and WhatsApp is faster to start but gets hard as products and orders grow. An online store organises products, prices and stock and simplifies ordering. Many Syrian sellers start with a page and move to a WhatsApp-linked store when orders increase.
