Introduction
Browser plugins can be very useful for simplifying and streamlining the tasks that eCommerce managers need to complete on a day to day basis. Each of the following browser plugins are a must-have for anyone managing their online store. Since Chrome is the most widely used browser, all plugins mentioned are extensions associated with Chrome. Extensions can be added on to your browser through the Chrome Web Store.
