Shopify Control Panel: How to get the most out of it?
At Webmefy we want you to be able to get the most out of your Shopify store from the beginning and this begins by mastering the control panel perfectly. In the following lines we are going to tell you how it is distributed and which are the sections that you have to take more into account.
First contact
At first glance, we see that access to Shopify is easy and the environment is extremely clean. At the top left, the Shopify logo appears with a drop-down list showing all the online stores for which you have permissions. Select one and you can start configuring it. At the top center appears a search bar that we love and which we will talk about later in this text. To the far right you will see your username and photo to edit all your account details. In the left side panel are all the options for the online store itself. Select each one of them and in the central sector you can configure everything.
Top search bar
As we told you, this search bar is very useful, since it can make our work much easier, especially in the initial phase of our online store, in which we are not yet fully familiar with the platform. We will simply have to write a keyword related to what we want to do and Shopify will offer us possible solutions. Until today, we have not yet faced the situation that this tool does not meet our needs.
Side control panel
All the configuration sections of our online store appear here. You will be able to access orders, products, customers, reports and statistics, the marketing section, the discounts section and the applications section . By clicking on each of them you will get information in the central part of the desktop to start editing.
Start in the middle section
If you click on the 'Home' section in the side panel, you will be able to see a summary with the highlights of your Shopify store and all the updates. You will also be able to see the latest orders that have been placed and the next steps to follow with them. You will also find information about the traffic received during the last day and also, in more detail, it shows the number of visitors who have been active in your online store during the last five minutes.
Another option that we love in this 'Home' section is the recommended readings with news about online commerce and also guides so you can get the most out of your Shopify store.
As you can see, working with Shopify is a simple task.
