In conclusion, four days wasted for…
Very bad, I insist for a long time, has experienced constant error, delay, unable to create the test, can't choose the product after test finally launched the first product price, but it's very wonderful is a few hours later I products in the price of shopify concrete was somehow changed, changed to test the price of group B, ridiculous!
