#Mi Mercado

Demo: http://mimercado.herokuapp.com/

When you use Mercado Libre's free publishing service to get your items displayed online to be sold, you are not entitled to a "personal shop" as paid publishings have access.

This project was created as a workaround for the lack of "personal shop" in mercado libre for the occacional users who would like to have a easy way to share all the products that they are selling. https://developers.mercadolibre.com/en_us/search-products-seller
