Tour the dashboard
Once you have successfully logged in to Little Big Shop, you will be taken to the admin dashboard.
This is your shop’s control centre, where you manage all aspects of your online shop – from customising the website design to confirming shipping options, adding products, managing orders, payment options and more.
Before you start selling on Little Big Shop, you’ll need to enter some information about you and your store including some business details, shipping and how you’ll accept payment.
The anatomy of the dashboard
- The Little Big Shop logo will take you to the admin dashboard.
- These menu items navigate to the various tools you’ll need to create and manage your shop, products, customers and orders, as well as build your website. Note: Some features (such as Customers) are only available if you upgrade to a higher plan.
- Your shop logo: This will reflect the logo you upload in Global styles.
- Open Orders: this number represents your new/open orders, which are orders that haven’t been marked as dispatched, cancelled, returned or archived. Clicking on the number will take you to your open orders.
- This week’s orders: these are the orders that have come through in the past 7 days, that haven’t been actioned as yet (e.g. marked as dispatched). Clicking on this number will take you to your open orders for the past week.
- Products: this is the total number of products you currently have added to your shop. Clicking on this will take you to the ‘Search Products’ page.
