"In this time where we must stay home, having the possibility to buy local produce and products in a frictionless way is key. Whether it be for pick up or delivery (if offered by the store), it's not only a lifesaver for many local stores but it's also safer for individuals who do not want to shop in the stores. The less physical interactions with people the better, at this time. We certainly did not plan for this, and we were just in beta tests in our local cities and in London when this situation accelerated. Everyone should help, and we will definitely do our share. We will continue to enhance the User Interface, but speed at this time is critical. We are right now removing all stores not able to function during this situation and adding key ones who can," said Patrick Plawner, CEO at LiveShop Inc.

Note: For your safety, and the safety of your customers, please consult with your local coronavirus shelter-in-place regulations to ensure the use of LiveShop does not violate them.
