If gives you complete control over how the products that your store contains are displayed to both visitors and search engines.
- Store Page Editing Features: Every store page that BANS automatically creates or that you create yourself can be edited manually with the aim of improvement and refinement.
- Store Page Creation Features: Creating a new store page uses the same page (ie the same functions) as the editing store page section, the difference being that it will be a blank canvas rather than containing pre-existing inputs. So rather than changing (refining) existing text / choices you will be creating it from scratch.
