Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2020) - Graph Blockchain Inc. (CSE: GBLC) ("Graph" or the "Company") today provided an update on the upcoming launch of its proprietary and wholly owned Wellness Marketplace platform, BluStem Ltd. (). As announced on , the Company anticipated to proceed with the launch of the BluStem platform during the first week of June. However, BluStem's Shopify Plus account remains pending due to a backlog of applications as a surge of companies have been looking to sell PPE and other COVID-19 related products online.
Graph Blockchain CEO Christian Scovenna commented:
"Shopify follows a diligent vetting process for all businesses including the review of approval documentation from Health Canada and any other submitted paperwork to eliminate the risk of fraudulent sites. The unprecedented amount of applications has obviously caused a delay in this process which has left our application pending. We are confident that we have fulfilled all of Shopify's requirements and will provide an update as soon as we receive word regarding the timeline for the approval of the application."
