When customers have a need to buy products, just typing in the search will display information about that brand or store, allowing buyers to place orders quickly. After the shopping account puts the goods in the shopping cart to go to the checkout page, Goong will be applied to locate the location of this order account most accurately. Or in case the user enters another delivery location, Goong will assist in completing the quick search for the location.

Accordingly, the store will calculate the shipping fee for the order.
