Keep your data backed up. GeekSeller maintains data backups and does whatever we can to prevent errors or overwriting of data, but due to the complexity of some integrations, and uniqueness of each seller’s set up, there is always a chance that some data may be lost or overwritten. Before you start using GeekSeller or make any large adjustments to integrations, new functionalities or uploading information, always create a backup of your data. Read more.
