        • Product Descriptions – Write detailed descriptions that highlight the features and benefits of each product.
        • Payment Links – Add a Buy Now button and insert your payment link (Yoko, Snapscan, or your preferred provider) to make transactions secure and easy.
      • Customers will be able to view all necessary information about your products before they even contact you.

      Step 6: Add Operating Hours and Other Information

      • You can easily add your operating hours to the site, which is important for businesses like bakeries or shops with set open times.
      • Operating hours, like other blocks, can be edited and updated at any time.
