What we do not say
We do not claim Salla or Zid lack a feature we have not verified. Where there is no documented number or text, we left the cell blank.
We are a new platform and they are older in the market. We chose to serve the seller they serve less well: the Syrian merchant inside Syria and in Turkey.
